Artist in Training

My very proud little Artist
Tonight was the school Art Show. Everytime I walk into that school I am A*M*A*Z*E*D by the work the Art Teacher does with them. I have been in many schools over the years and never have I seen work like this produced by ALL the children. While I was there I tracked down the school Art Teacher and thanked her in person. I found out she is a professional artist who knows how to break things down into simple steps the children can understand. It was truly amazing to see all the beautiful work tonight. I was hoping to get some really good pictures from each grade but the girls kept running amuck so I had to snap pictures on the fly while trying to keep up with them. Enjoy the photos....the hydrangea paintings by the 3rd grade are TO DIE FOR!!
