Duck Art

We spent a lot of time on Saturday working on Duck Art to enter in the Federal

Junior Duck Stamp competition. We usually enter through a CoOp Art class

but this year they were not in the same class so the kids decided to enter

on their own. It is so interesting to see their differences/personalities and how

they approach and complete their art.

Ethan initially just wanted to be done so he had very little detail in his at first. Let's

just say it, he tends to be a little lazy at times. He needed lots of guidance and

encouragement to add more detail so I sat with him talking him through each step.

I think he ended up with a very nice painting and he was very proud.

Meanwhile, Hunter did his all on his own and spent hours (and hours!)

"perfecting" his drawing. He prefers colored pencils so he can add lots of detail.

And then there is Izzy. She wanted no help and finished hers in about

30 seconds...okay I'm exaggerating.

 

I think they did a great job! We sent them in the mail today and will

await results....it's a long wait.
