Young Rembrandt

Last week Audra's class had some guest teachers from a group called "Young Rembrandt." They are an after school program that helps kids learn art skills. Like so many other worthy programs, art was dropped from the school curriculum. In this picture, Audra drew a penguin (left) and a bear (right). I think she did quite well!

At some point I want to enroll her in this program. I really do think art is very important. I want to wait until Claire can also join, however. I feel bad always having Audra in programs and not Claire because Claire is too little. I don't think Audra will be too far behind in art if I wait a couple of years- even though she did LOVE drawing this picture and does love drawing. Ah, the decisions that must be made as parents!
