Proud dads show off your kids' artwork

[joedls]

I got this idea off another forum I belong to and since I'm a proud dad, I thought I'd share some of my 11 year old daughter's work.

Impressive!!

[Leedom]

Your daughter is quite the artist!

[joedls]

She's a very talented little girl! She has worked with oils, acrylics, chalk pastels, pencil, charcoal, and watercolors.

She also loves to sing, dance, and act in community theater.

I'm guessing this is mom's gene flow. :nutkick:

Great work.

You would be correct in your assumption!

My 12 year olds first painting from last weekend. She only painted it as the drawing was already on the canvas.

Nice work!!!

[94cobra69ss396]

She enjoyed it and wants us to find another canvas that has the drawing already on it for her. This one came in a kit her grandmother bought her but I don't know if I'll be able to find a canvas on it's own though. If I can't find one I can always pick up a blank canvas and draw something on it myself because I can actually draw okay.

[Vettezuki]

Maybe have her trace something herself that she wants to paint. :huh:

My daughter's friend is a fan of a musician by the name of Vic Fuentes. So she found a pic of him off the internet...

...and drew this pic for her friend.

My daughter was accepted to Orange County School of the Arts. She will be attending the 7th grade there next school year. We are very proud of her!!!

[94cobra69ss396]

That's great, congrats!

[Vettezuki]

Congratulations. That's a good school

[enkeivette]

It's almost unbelievable that she could do that at 11. Extremely talented.

[joedls]

Thanks guys! She is definitely a talented girl. And she is no longer 11. She is now a whopping 12 years old!

She's very excited about being accepted. It will be a completely foreign experience for her. Until now, she has always been homeschooled.

[Vettezuki]

It's an Arts school. It's VERY different than a typical public school.

For the academic portion of the school, it's very much like public school. Its only when they start their conservatory classes that it's different.

My son is a Junior there in the acting program. He's been attending there since the 7th grade, so we're pretty familiar with the school. It was quite the adjustment for him, too, to go from being homeschooled to a formal school environment.

[Vettezuki]

Fair point. I've only been around there for some of the music stuff.
