Sure, twist my arm!



three weeks ago today, our 12 year old daughter started Middle School.  Middle School brings a flood of emotions to all who think about it, either because of their own memories of it, or because of the realization that High School is knocking on the door.  the school our daughter is attending is amazing in many ways, one of which hits close to home, or in my case, HEART.  in a sea of schools that have cut fine arts from their curriculum, this school teaches it.  not as an elective, but as a REQUIREMENT.  so this weekend, when she asked for some help studying for her upcoming Studio Arts 1 exam, i had to make myself count to 5 before i jumped at the chance.  Sure, twist my arm!  now, where to start...... 


Elements of Art = the tools to make art.  I love this because it reminds me of the 70's.  



Principles of Design = how to use the tools to make art. 



Modern day versions!


Our daughter's first date with paint! She had just turned 2 and yes, I still have the paint handprints on our kitchen cabinets 10 years later!
