......BEFORE.................................................... AFTER..................
Jim, an adult student, came to me eager to learn. His first drawing for me (left image) was before instruction took place. After about 3 months, Jim completed the right image. Jim made progress in leaps and bounds. He worked hard in class. What ever skill he learned in class he took home and diligently continued which allowed him to make great progress. Jim has since moved on to watercolor.



Award Winning Student

Kiowa School is having a student art show! Many works of art were entered by participants using various media. Included were pencil, pastel, marker, oil on canvas, and charcoal. Our own Jaella entered 2 pencil pieces. One piece was a portrait of her sister and one was of a still life that she composed herself. Awards were given to each grade level and Jaella won at the 12th grade level receiving a college scholarship provided by Air Academy Credit Union. Jaella has been one of my students for a little over 2 years. She has worked hard and is very focused when it comes to listening to instruction and application of that information. Jaella has come a long way and is delightful to have as a pupil. Congratulations, Jaella!!
(Pictures of her work will be posted at a later date.)
