An Art Show

Isabelle has been attending art classes for a few months now. On Monday of the last week of school she had her big opening. There were formal invitations and we were told to expect "fancy food and fancy drinks." I took advantage of it to wear one of my best bow ties (I really don't get to dress up as much here as I did when we lived in Nova Scotia.) Isabelle and Jane dressed up too. There were fancy clothes all the way around.

Here is a the artist showing off one of her works.

The session/semester had been an exploration of all sorts of media. There was chalk, watercolours, acrylics, and some mixed media. The first stages involved learning about primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Then came other concepts. Here is some of the artwork:

It was well done as they converted the whole studio into an art gallery. All the other kids and parents were there too, including a guest Isabelle had invited. Dorian, one of Isabelle's classmates, was there by invitation with his mom. I think they plan to attend the next session.

The people at CAT Studio do a very good job. Isabelle certainly loved it and wants to go back for another term.
