Still life Exercise in marker then paint - Chinese New Year Decoration

The student-artists totally impressed me, the drawings in black permanent markers were done in 20mins. From this exercise, they showed me that as a group that they have grown from strength to strength in confidence, observational skills and adaptability to challenges just by trying their best to do what they could. 

Week 2 was to repeat the process in paint. no predrawing with marker or pencil were allowed.
