On Saturday we drove to the Art Academy of Cincinnati where National Portfolio Day was being hosted. About 20 colleges had representatives there to look at portfolios and give feedback about the art and answer questions about their school. The lines were long and Jenny got to talk with six schools. The general agreement of the reviewers was that Jenny has a very strong ability to see detail and draw it. And she shows that she has lots and lots of patience to finish a very detailed picture with her layering technique. To improve her portfolio she should add some still life drawings and paintings in different kinds of mediums and more original photographs she has taken. And all said they hoped to see her back next year when she is a senior. All this art talk has Jenny pretty pumped up, so it'll be interesting to see what new things she comes up with.
On the way out to Cincinnati Jenny was very relaxed.
And Bob was talking with Bud.
And one of the perks of visiting schools is you get to start a pencil and pen collection!
I had brought the camera along figuring I would take pictures while we were visiting the different schools. But 4 hours later I realized I hadn't taken one shot. But I was rewarded with a fantastic opportunity to take pictures and movies of a huge rainbow that we saw as we were going around Fort Wayne on I-469 on the way home.
