NEW VIDEO LESSON!! When my students return in the fall (and, yes, I said 'when' as I'm optimistic), they will be asked to wear a mask. We usually begin the school year with a self-portrait so I decided to put a spin on it! You can see the lesson video in the link. Can't wait to see what you create! xo! Cassie
