He made a huge setting/display of the animals brought to class. Then with a view finder, we chose a portion of the stuffed animals to paint with pastels. During the critique of these paintings, the prof said our paintings were too soft and made us do another one with crisper lines. It was one of the best lessons I ever learned. My painting turned out pretty nice and made the end-of-the-year show. Later, I gave that painting to my cousin when she had her first baby. Now it hangs in her grandbabies room.
