The students first finished their fruit studies:
And a new student practiced realism and pointillism with a sunflower.
Time to start sketching!

Everyone in the class chose a painting style from the styles we had learned about the previous week - pointillism, cubism, impressionism, surrealism, realism, pop art.
After working on and revising their sketches, they received their canvas, and started to paint!
By the end of the third class, a few students were finishing their first piece, while some had moved onto small canvas studies for their second painting.
