Welcome GALS!

Welcome to the Center for Visual Art!
We will be working with dynamic tools to create a graphic novel. Our inspiration will come from many sources but in particular we will look at the political satire in the exhibition in the gallery.
Each day will begin with work in your sketchbook. Today, please use the tools on the table to customize the back cover of your sketchbook. Your illustration should include your name written clearly so that I can read it. Thank you! Talya

Before you leave today be sure that:
1. you have a sketchbook with your name on it
2. you have a drawer with your name on it
3. you understand the rules for walking back to GALS
