Amazing feather art by Chris Maynard
My friend Laura Shovan just posted a poem about singer Bessie Smith and her feathered hat
the first one, Icarus & the feather drawing are my favorites. I have given a feather collection away to some of the teachers so the students can draw them. It's a wonderful exercise in detail. Thanks for all of this, Tabatha. I loved Laura's poem.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tabatha. Whoa -- that blue tiara. I'm in love.
ReplyDeleteI like Linda's suggestion of providing feathers for students to draw!
