The cool thing about advanced art is that they get the opportunity to create their own project proposals. Sometimes these projects are very special and even sentimental to the student… this is one of those projects that I can finally share.
One of my art students wanted to surprise her sister & brother in-law by making some art for their soon to be nursery. It was a top secret mission, since her brother in-law works at the school. One day he even popped by the art room 3 TIMES during the hour she was working.. we were all sweating bullets. It was fun watching her create each of these watercolors with so much love in her heart! What a special family keepsake! ❤️
