CHILDREN'S ART- MY STUDENT'S ART

Children grasp new art concepts very promptly. When presented with theory in the presence of immediate practice possibility, my 7-year- old student,  Cortez noticed  curious shapes ( fish, for example ) when viewing a photo taken by me of an antique rose from my garden ( all these details are important in my teaching technique )

He drew this particular rose in the style of Cubism.

My Trip to Washington

My daughter Emi, who is a dancer since she was six, standing next to the "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" by Degas at the National Gallery, Washington D.C. 

It was a quick run throug the gallery, since we came 20 minutes before closing! Nevertheless we managed to see  several Impressionist paintings, as well as the preview of the "Andrew Wyeth: Looking Out, Looking In" Exhibit with his most famous painting "Wind from the Sea" on display!
