Wowzers, this girl and her art skills! I am so proud and impressed with her! She does such great work...and I know I'm her mom and biased and all...but other people say the same thing! People who aren't as vested as I am.
Just look for yourself!
Every time she finishes a piece I say "Oh, that is my new favorite!" they keep getting better and better! I don't know how she is going to top the last one. I cannot wait to get it back and hang it up at home. A few kind friends have asked to buy her work. She is so awesome!
I am also a little jealous. I wish I would work on my art like she does. I wish I had a fraction of the time she does. She is a lucky girl and I am a lucky mom to get to watch her work.
While we were in Idaho her AP art teacher was giving her a bit of a hard time. Nothing terrible, just challenging Lorien's placement in AP art. Lorien took 3D art her freshman year and did not take an art class last year. Her teacher thought she would be better suited in another art class where the work wasn't so rigorous. Lorien was frustrated, she wanted to be in AP art and knew she was capable of doing the work. Thankfully, Lorien pushed back and insisted she should be in the higher level class. The teacher consented (she couldn't kick Lorien out, she was just encouraging Lorien to try an easier class) and Lorien stayed in AP art.
Fast forward to right after the painting Lorien did of herself with the split and drips in the middle. The teacher came to Lorien and told her how glad the teacher was that Lorien insisted she should stay in AP art. The teacher acknowledged her mistake in judgement early on and how well Lorien has been doing in AP. Go Lorien!
