Susanne 365 and Beyond: B's "Starry Night"

B's "Starry Night"

All three boys are taking art classes at Class Day. T worked on some abstract art, and J is studying texture and color. B, however, is obviously learning about Van Gogh, as he brought home his collage version of "Starry Night" today. I think it's a very good job for a second-grader.

I just wish that I was artistic like my own kids -- my brother was a fine arts major, and my mother paints some, and my grandmother was quite talented. Plus all of Keith's side of the family are artists, so our kids come by it genetically. It just skipped me.

About Project 365

Project 365 started in January of 2007 with about fifteen online friends from the United States and beyond who resolved to post "A Photo A Day." The goal was to learn about photography through daily practice and looking at and commenting upon each others' work.

Several devoted photographers kept going in January of 2008 while most of us resorted to less-rigorous schedules of posting our photographs. But in January of 2009, about ten (perhaps more!) of us were back in the saddle, ready to shoot, post, and learn. Most of their blog sites are listed further down the sidebar if you'd like to view their work.

I took another break for 2010 but am back for 365 for 2011 with a new Facebook group of friends, many of whom you'll find in the sidebar.

I am using a simple point-and-shoot camera, an Olympus Stylus 740. Many of my fellow photographers are using far better cameras, so the quality of my photographs will in no way equal theirs. However, I still hope to "learn to see" better this year as I jump back into Project 365.
