Introduction to Drawing Classes Inspired by Historic Campus Buildings
Students in Ms. Briggs' and Mrs. Lyko's Introduction to Drawing classes have been enjoying the spring weather on campus. For one week students drew inspiration from Archmere's historic buildings: The Manor and The Patio. This is a great way to utilize our onsite architecture while spending productive time outside of the classroom.
