Art Project

Stephen is doing a project for our homeschool group's art fair this year. His project is on shading techniques and he is doing a fantastic job! Today he got the hardest part done - the written description of his project. It was the first "essay" he's ever written and I was so pleased with what he did. He is only 5 so writing is not something that comes easily yet. He had a hard time getting his thoughts represented as sentences so I had him dictate to me what he wanted to say, I wrote it down, then he copied it onto his page. I have no idea what the judge at the art fair would expect of a 5 yr old but I am more than happy with his work on this project and that's all I care about! He still has to get a few last minute things done - like gluing the title to his project board and I am going to frame the picture of the flowers that he did showing his favourite technique but this is what he's done so far . . .
