Art Day

I'm so happy to have a picture of Beck to post! He never wants his picture taken. But for this event he was happy to comply.

Beck entered one of his drawings in the school art show. We went as a family and voted for his artwork. It's really good, if I do say so myself. And the teacher told me he had gotten quite a few comments on it that day.

Beck drew this from his imagination. And if you notice, there are no lines. It is all shading. And you can tell where the light source is coming from. Steve has really worked with Beck and Chloe on their drawing skills, teaching them what to look for, and how light and shadows play on objects. They both love to draw.

We haven't heard yet if he won in the Junior High Division. I'll let you know if he does!
