Mark's Rhino

My son has an excellent art teacher in high school. http://drhsart.com/ Last fall he had the kids each copy a line drawing by an old master.  My son was out sick the day the kids chose their projects, so he got stuck with a very detailed picture of a rhinoceros ( I am not sure who the original artist was.)  It took him hours and hours to draw, but here is the result.

 

I am amazed that all 3 of my kids can draw.  Neither my husband nor I can.  Art instruction in my elementary school was a once a month happening.  The art teacher had no room of her own but traveled to classrooms with a cart of supplies.  I don't remember it being very fun at all.  Since my experience in elementary school wasn't great, I never took art in junior high or high school.  But I've always wished I could draw. 

 

All three of my kids had excellent art teachers in elementary school, and all 3 of them took some art in middle school.  I like that they  had a creative outlet at school.
