Bay's Shadow Box
It has been difficult for me to find Bay's niche in expressing himself artistically. Painting, drawing, writing...not so much his corner. I have known it is in there somewhere, but finding it and giving him an avenue to bring it out have been the challenge. I should have known sooner that it would be something that uses his spatial skills. He chose to make a shadow box to summarize a book he read for school. He didn't really even know what a shadow box was (so we had to look up a couple of samples on Google). Once he saw what it meant, he was ready to go. His reading curriculum provided the pictures of the animals to color and cut out. Besides a little help from mom in getting the tree to stand up, he designed and did it all himself.


Maybe sculpture is in his future?

Good work, Bay! You are such a good homeschooling Momma, Heather.
