Intermediate art students at Warren Hills work on sketchbook assignments in lieu of their self-portrait drawings due this December. Throughout the assignment, students are required to practice shading techniques, a critical part in their self-portraits. December’s assignment will be a key part in students’ portfolios for college, a fact that is stirring mixed feelings amongst the art students. Sophomore David Mojak expressed his nervousness about the assignment: “I am worried about all the shading. I mean, the paper is so big. I don’t know if I’ll finish it, honestly, but it is what it is.”
