Daughter's First Art Award

So my daughter, who's in kindergarten, won her first art award from SHARE (Students Help Art Reach Everyone); here's a link to the organization: SHARE.

From the SHARE website:

"SHARE's primary project is to place student artwork into permanent collections. SHARE asks students to share the joy and energy of their art with the community. Sites selected are those where critical and often life changing events take place. All submitted works are exhibited at the Southwest School of Art and Craft for one week in the spring. One hundred works are selected for framing for a permanent site."

And here's the "piece de resistance"

Hey JS, You have every right to be proud. Maybe she'll draw anime someday too. (g) Please pass the following along to the family's newest resident artist. :)

Congratulations, "your daughter's name"! That's a great picture! You're very talented. I'm keeping my crown! :)

Hugs!
Ms Lee

Congratulations to the artist and her proud parents. She’s come a long way from drawing vaginas. (I can’t wait to tell her that story when she’s 13. ) :-d

very, very cool... it will be exciting to hear how her artistic gifts unfold.

jsd said...

san: thank you, I'll be pass the appreciation along to her. Yeah, SHARE is a pretty cool organization.

more cows: we're pretty excited too. we encourage but try not to be too pushy, because it's something i'm hoping she'll hold as her own her entire life. it's really amazing to see the things she comes up with from drawings to crowns.

she made my wife and i crowns to wear for mother's day to church. imagine the irish wedding/friendship ring and that will give you a descent visual. so we wore them to church, at church, and on the way home...i hope we made her proud.
