Marissa and I had fun in school last Friday. At the end of our session, we scheduled a new art project. Marissa picked a photo from a selection I'd pulled from a travel magazine and we pinned the photo up next to a blank canvas on her easel. Marissa painted the scene - a triple waterfall in Hawaii. Although the photo we took of her painting doesn't show as well as it looks, we think you can tell she did a fantastic job! She had so much fun, too, as she discovered she could paint from a photo. I told her next we'll go to the lake in the spring and she can paint from the shore. She's ready and excited!
Oh, one more thing...she also was great at using her creativity in the painting. Marissa added the pool of water at the end of the waterfalls, and she also added the flowering plants. Great eye!
