Right before winter break my 8 year old daughter got a letter in the mail from the superintendent of schools. He let her know that a picture she made in art class was chosen to be displayed in the public meeting room at the district office. We were so excited. Her first public display of her art! At age 8! A dozen students were chosen from four different schools. The art teacher picked the best work to represent the school. I am SO proud of my little artist! When I get the picture back at the end of the school year I am going to frame it and hang it up in my house. I couldn't get a great picture of it because the frame kept glaring so I took the picture at an angle. But you get the idea. It's a pastel drawing of a sunset over petroglyphs. Yay Celia!
Wow! Awesome sunset! Congratulations Celia and proud Mom!!!

ReplyDeleteWell congratulations to Lisa! What a wonderful surprise for her and you. We know when the kids make a super piece of art but it isn't always acknowledged by the teacher or school so I am very happy this was noticed.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!! :-) She did a great job! Look at that shading!!! She's reeeeally good for her age. I'm so happy for her and for you too! It must be fun to have your child share your love of art! :-) Aww! Thanks for sharing!

i can see why it was chosen. how special to follow in mom's footsteps. congrats to your sweet daughter.
ReplyDeleteCelia you should be so proud of yourself! I have a degree in Fine art and I just love the way you blended your sky. This is a very interesting way to make people think of ancient times too. Mountains are such historical representations of the earth and common to all mankind. Excellent work and I am glad you were recognized. Sanna
