Final painting projects in the works

I believe it is a good standard to have the students copy a masterpiece at the end of a semester. I have given them choices of media, but all of them stretched and primed their own canvases. Some are painting in acrylic and some in water-based oil paint.

My mother, I think, still has my canvas from when I was in high school and copied a Guaguin in oils.
It used to hang in her laundry room...three addresses ago.
