Katrena's Art Show (11/7/09)

On 11/7/09 we had the opportunity to go to the Eleanor Rose Children's Art workshop Art Show at ASU. Trena had taken 2 ten week art classes at ASU. My friend Melissa is going to school to be an art teacher and was teaching the class on Saturday mornings and offered to have Trena go with her. The classes are normally a $135 and of course we could not afford that, and Melissa was able to get her into two classes on scholarship, so it was FREE! She loved going and loved driving to and from with Melissa each week. Melissa had to be there an hour before the classes started to set up so Trena would help her then attend her 1 1/2 hour class, they then would have a half hour break and Trena would have a snack, then she was off to her next class. After that 1 1/2 hour class she would help Melissa clean up and they would head home. She had to be up earlier to go to her art class than she did school.

We are so thankful she had this opportunity to go and learn, she learned how to weave yarn, to ink, use water colors, paper mache, pottery, sketch, origami, paint, oil pastels, etc.

Here is her basket that she named "Pinkie, Pinkie"
