The graphite project finished

This was a pretty good one.

This is an example of a daring student's work.

Unfortunately some of the projects looked like this at the end.
So, I did the assignment, and it went fairly well. Here are a couple of things I learned.
1. cover the tables with butcher paper or something, the graphite makes a huge mess.
2. Cut the carpenter pencils in thirds. That gives enough to hold and for one or two mess-ups.

I only gave the class about 2 days for carving. There were some good carvings but when I instructed them to turn them in, I thought it was expedient to have them label what the sculpture was of.
