Green in Black and White- The Gallery

A post by Little Grandma

The theme over at Sticky Fingers this week is Green. I have lots of lovely 'green' pictures of the 3 Little Uncles climbing trees, rolling down grassy hills, picking their noses....

However, I thought I'd take this opportunity to share a couple of the photos that Teenage Daughter has used as part of her GCSE Art exam prep work. The brief she followed was 'green'. This could be interpretated in many ways: some students chose to focus on green vegetables, some on environmental matters etc... Teenage Daughter, ever the individual, chose to study Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies. She used photos of herself in an improvised dress she made herself, and photos she took of Belle, as the starting point for a 'Flower Fairy' inspired portrait. I haven't seen the final piece that was completed mainly in pencil. She has told me, however, that she added wire wings and a touch of watercolour (green I assume).

    So beautiful - the photos and the girls! Wow, well I'm a teacher and I say that deserves an A*!

    So I might not be an ART teacher, per se, but what difference does that make? Bravo! xX
