Year 7 art

Hiding Amidst the Reeds Maria B. Davis 2006 Was searching through Pinterest, of course, and came upon this delightful piece of art by Maria B. Davis.

Well, it's not as easy as it looks- they had to really concentrate to complete. This is a really clever way to also document your child's hand size/age. My lines were not the straightest!
