Another Art Fair at school

This was Rebecca's last year to put art in the Elementary school art fair. She put 3 pieces in at school and 2 of them placed. All 3 of her entries made it to the County Art Fair and for the first time since she has won since 2nd grade, she did not place at the County level. We continue to remind her that art is subjective (she gets that speech every year on the way to the County Art Fair) and she was fine. With her doing oil painting this year, she limited herself to that category and just didn't win.

Next year is different - if you want to put something in the fair as a middle schooler, it goes straight into the County Fair. We looked at a lot of the middle school work from this year and if she really wants to work at it next year, she'll do well. Either way, we are so very proud of her and her accomplishments in her art work!

First place in drawing (this is an oil pastel she free hand drew of a Willow Tree Angel)


2nd place on her 2nd oil painting she's done
