Katie Exhibit

Holly, Joanie, and Katie rest in the exhibition room while I try for some art photography.

Katie's drawings are the two next to each other in the upper right corner. Just to show you a little of what the others were doing.

A group of home schoolers got an art exhibit together at the West End Centre in Aldershot, about a half an hour from where we live. Katie considered her drawing collection and chose two to enter. We drove there and viewed the exhibit. There were sculptures, drawings, felt art, and photographs. There was some genuinely good art there. Some of those kids have a future in art if they keep going on. 

Katie is firmly set on drawing manga (Japanese-style comics). For Christmas we gave her a book on how to draw manga style hands and feet, and recently followed that up with a companion book on heads and hair. Her drawings are growing in expression and skill. Hopefully this won’t be her last show.
