Assignments may also involve self-correcting. If so, the answers will be given the following lesson/update.

I will also have suggested deadlines for each assignment. This is a guide for you to time-manage your work, and to make responsible choices.

If necessary, you can write to me at a.ho@lfp.cz

Meanwhile, stay healthy and happy!

Find an inspiring flower of your choice. It could be a flower at home, in the garden, in a nature space like forest or parks. Do your best to sketch, draw the flower , color in with whatever art supplies you have... color pencils, water colors, or simply sketch using only a regular pencil.
