This is beautiful, Darren! Was it created on an old CD? Love the colors you chose.

Love this, Darren! We are ready to move in. You did a great job showing the depth and distance of the things in your picture and used the watercolors so effectively. Especially like that slide to the pool.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

It sure looks delicious, Darren. Amazing the great appearance you can achieve with ceramics. Well done!
-- Gramma And Grampa

What beautiful use of color and lines in this Darren! A real contemporary look.
-- Gramma And Grampa

Very cool, Darren! The perfect rock to turn into a fish. He certainly lives up to his name of Happy. It makes me happy to look at him!
-- Gramma and Grmpa H.

Great job of showing dimension in your forms. The shading is especially effective!
-- Gramma And Grampa

Interesting how the darker wash makes those mountains look farther away and the road narrowing leading to the city gives it distance also. The different colors of the mountains and factory might indicate sun shining at a certain angle?
-- Gramma And Grampa

What fun it must have been to do this abstract artwork. The technique to do the lines is so cool and love the color combinations you chose!
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Love how you were able to use Picasso’s cubism technique to create your own self portrait! With great use of line, color and abstract features, it definitely has the Picasso look. Terrific job!
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

What a striking picture you have created using the French curve tool! It has such a great flow to it and the colorful curves are so striking against the black background. Love it.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

What fun it must have been to work with clay. Love your castle and the critter guarding it!
-- Ken And Betty

Wow, what a great job you did on a complicated project! Love how the yellow arm goes through all those floating 3D objects to keep them together.??
-- Gramma And Grampa

What an interesting project, Darren. Really cool how you have shown movement using so many techniques. Great job.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Really impressive how you could turn the letter C into such a great monster! The blue pencil really emphasizes his fire breath. It sounds like you had fun creating it.
-- Gramma And Grampa

Very cool monster, Darren! Very creative how you were able to make it out of a C. Love how you used the pencil to emphasize the monster’s fire breath. Bet the book was a fun one that you read first.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

How exciting that you are studying digital photography! Loved how you artistically framed your photo to create an interesting image.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Love how you emphasized the Apple Store.?? Great job of capturing the feel of the Chicago skyline in an interesting way. Still remember how much we enjoyed our architectural river tour while visiting you. You were even able to very nicely get that river in!
-- Gramma And Grampa

How great it was to get to talk about your "pop art" piece in person with you! There are so many styles of art and how lucky you all are to learn about so many of them. Know it took a lot of hard work to do this one.
-- Gramma And Grampa H.

Was it fun working with ceramics? Would love to hear how many firings it went through to become the finished product. Great job learning about a different type of art!
-- Gramma And Grampa H.

Darren I think you did great!!!
-- Michelle

Darren - very unique work!
-- Pat

How beautiful, Darren! The way you put the different colors of paper folded in the same way makes for a very interesting design that makes me think of the intricate shapes of snow flakes. Love it!
-- Gramma And Grampa H.

Great skates, Darren. They make me want to lace them up and take a spin on the ice! So interesting how the shading with charcoal gives it dimension.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Love your winter picture, Darren. Your colorful painted background makes your snowflakes stand out beautifully. They say there are no two snowflakes alike, and your three have such great, different, and interesting shapes!
-- Gramma And Grampa

What fun it was to see your Georgia O'Keefe poppy picture, Darren, with its wonderful shading. I have always liked her work, and had one of her poppy pictures (very much like yours) hanging near my desk at work!
-- Grampa and Gramma H

Love it Darren! Your use of color on the fire from the engines really makes me feel like I am speeding through space. The shading of colors on the shuttle is great, too, and the collage layering gives it wonderful depth. What fun to be studying space now!
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

It is interesting how you were able to show some fish in front of others to give it dimension. Great job Darren. Love the colors too!
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Very creative, Darren! Can just picture those boats on rough seas and a beautiful sunset.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Really interesting and creative picture Darren. You'll have to tell us how you get multiple colors on your block print. Love it!
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Love the bird houses and bird, Darren! We saw a Cardinal today and bet he wished he had such a beautiful birdhouse to live in. The shading around them makes them stand out so nicely.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

A well-dressed snowman, Darren. Looks like it is still snowing so that there might be enough snow to build him a friend.
-- Grampa & Gramma H

Would this be a self-portrait, Darren? A handsome fellow!
-- Grampa & Gramma H

Am wondering if you saw any of these when your class visited the aquarium? Bet this guy is a big one and would have trouble fitting into a tank at the aquarium!
-- Grampa & Gramma H

So interesting how you were able to capture the difference in the apple as it was being eaten. Great technique and use of color!
-- Gramma And Grampa

Very cool picture, Darren. It brings back memories of the cold Vermont mountains at sunset that I remember as a teenager. Great job.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Interesting colors on this owl. Bet he has is very wise. There are many different types of owls near us in South Carolina. I will look for this one.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Love the different shapes and the sizes of these pumpkins, Darren. So realistic!
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

This guy looks like my kind of "wild thing." Love his smile, though those teeth appear to be very sharp! Great job!
-- Gramma And Grampa

Beautiful, Darren. Butterflies are so interesting, aren't they?
-- Gramps and Gramma H.

Love your new picture, Darren. Especially like the colorful rainbow. Hopefully those April showers will bring lots of May flowers!
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Wow, those oranges look yummy! Love how you used shading to make them look so realistic. Great job!
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Loved your turtle, Darren. Wouldn't it be fun to follow him through the Outback in Australia. We're you able to find Australia on the globe? It sure would take us a while to get there!
-- Gramps and Gramma H.

Can tell the worm has a long way to look up to see this snowman. Really great how you were able to make it look this way. Love seeing your art work!
-- Gramma & Grampa

Your polar bear looks like he is enjoying the snowy,cold weather of the north. Great job! Does he have a name?
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

A beautiful piece for the Chtistmas season!
-- Gramma And Grampa

Very cool use of different techniques, Darren. Love the colorful frame.
-- Gramma And Grampa

Really cool mice Darren. Wonder if the mice in the story are related to the ones that live at our camp in Vermont. Sounds like a great story. Hope you will read it to us some time. Meant to tell you also what a nice job you did on the one made from berries, leaves, etc. Art can be created from so many different things can't it?
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Loved this one, Darren. Reminds us of the Koi fish that Brookgreen Gardens here in SC used to have in their pond.
-- Gramma and Grampa H.

Loved it, Darren. The sunflowers are so colorful and beautiful! Gramma and Grampa Hagedorn
