Super Art Friday-“Using Your Imagination”
This was a piece of scratch paper that had been used to test paint colors. It didn’t look very interesting, but I gave my young artist a challenge for our Super Art Friday project. I handed her the paper and a black pen and said, “Use your imagination. What could this be?” She looked at […]

This one shown is the “Draw 50-Buildings and Other Structures” but there are 27 others in the series: birds, airplanes, horses, etc. She […]
