The Painters' Apprentices PART 2

We continue our apprenticeship program in Grade 10.  Students can choose a painter to be their very own mentor.  It was very interesting to discover who each of the students chose because there was almost always a very vivid connection between the personality of the student and the style of the painter with whom he or she identified.  I love that stuff.  Students also had to design the gilded frames that surrounded their work.  This group knocked every assignment that I gave them out of the park.  Amazing stuff.
