Ada, you are wonderfully productive and you produce engaging results! Hearty congratulations and best wishes to you!!!

Dear Ada, This is amazing! You have really captured Modigliani to a T. As papa T suggested, do the same with a family picture! Good Job! Mema

Ada, your ability to duplicate outstanding artwork is remarkable! Perhaps the next step for you is to apply an existing style in another context, such as using this style to create an imaginative rendering of you and Arlo.

It's great that you're trying lots of different media, Ada. this reminds me of CTA trains heading into the Loop - a reminder of Chicago's great transportation system. Keep up the creativity!

Wow Ada-that is really amazing. It reminds me of Ken Reif.

Wow Ada, this is an extremely well done portrait. Great colors, very crisp color changes, and very well proportioned components. As you know, you've done the portrait in a Picasso-like style. The result is excellent!

Sweet Ada, I adore this piece! It's a fun throw back to your early Picasso-esque work. The colors and detail make it a really fun painting to look at. Can I have it please?

Ada...this contemporary portrait is so Picasso. Well done! Love, Grammie

Ada...I love the bright colors and enjoyed reading your statement. Wouldn’t this look good in our primary-colored house? ?? I am thrilled that you are continuing your artistic pursuits and posting on Artsonia!

Ada, You are so lucky to have these creative and innovative experiences in your art classes. Not only are you learning to express yourself, you are learning interesting ways to do that. Thank you to your art teacher! Enjoy, Ada. Xo Mem

This portrait has special appeal for me. How well done it is!!!

This is "Sweater Weather" portrayed in an interesting way.

This is a good combination of realism and supplements that bring imagination into play.

This piece is well proportioned, nicely colored, provocatively labeled, and stirs the imagination,

Ada, your collection of imaginative artistic creations on display at Artsonia is very impressive. What a pleasure it is to look through the collection, which includes appealing variety and forms of representation. Good for you, Ada!

This unusual piece of Ada's artwork is referred to as a Blind Contour drawing. Blind Contour drawing is a drawing exercise in which an artist draws the contour of a subject without looking at the paper. Wow! Congratulations, Ada, on this piece of work and the engaging results! It will be interesting to see how additional Blind Contour drawing might evolve for you.

Dear Ada, I think that I missed your commentary about your latest drawing -the skelton. Your class provides you with many challenges and different and difficult subject matter. but you always rise to the challenge. You seem to really enjoy this art class and your creative teacher. Love, Mema

Ada should send her portrait of Emma to her! Ada is a big fan and she has an intersting likeness and take on the star. I wonder if she will do my portrait? I think that Ada has talent! Mema

Dear Ada, Your artwork is showing increased sophistication. Are you enjoying these exercises? I am sure you are learning a lot. Any discussion about pointillism? Great job! Mema

Wow, this caricature certainly catches the eye, Ada. The skepticism and/or sense of disapproval registered in the face and posture of this unnamed figure comes through loud and clear. I find myself wondering whether the starting point from which this caricature was produced could be used to represent a person displaying a sense of approval and satisfaction. Maybe not, given the starting-point constraints (such as a block-shaped head and half-raised arms). The bottom line though is your imagination and creativity, which are significant!

Dear Ada, Each of your projects gets better and better! I love your super hero! I would like to know more about him -is he a take off from a hero that I don't know about, or is he totally original? I want to buy some postcards. xxoo Mema

Dear Ada, I feel that you have learned a great variety of things in your art class and have a teacher who has fostered your creativity. Being able to express yourself in so many ways is a gift. I also like the artist statements which give a glimpse into your thoughts and why you created the object the way you did. I hope you will continue creating art in the years ahead. Love, Mema
-- Mema

This is great Ada - so different from your drawing and painting. I really enjoy your artist's statements. They are such a cool window into what you're thinking and doing at school.

Dear Ada, I like the variety of your work, and this one is so precise. It will be fun to see what you come up with next!! XO Mema

The mandala is an appealing diversion from your four earlier Artsonia projects, Ada. Very interesting! Keep up the good work!!! XXXOOO Mema and Papa T
-- Tom

Wow Ada, this piece of art you've produced is really "something else," in the positive sense of the word. You have a great combination of imagination and of rendering skills. Mema and I stand in awe! Much love!
-- Papa T

Ada, Without the lines which you have added to your face, it is an amazing likeness. The lines add an interest to the picture. Do they also emphasize areas of your face? Mema
-- Mema

This is an interesting stylistic variation relative to your first two pieces of art, Ada. Fetching! You've expressed yourself well not only in this piece of art, but also in your written commentary. Mema and I are proud of you!!!
-- Papa-T

Your artwork continues to be very engaging and appealing, Ada, and the associated commentary you provided is thoughtful and well written! We are mighty proud of you. Way to go!
-- Papa

This piece of art is very nicely done, Ada, and is a pleasure to see! Keep up the great work! (We hope you are enjoying the sixth grade!) Much love to you!
-- Mema and Papa T

I see the weight on your shoulders. And I am happy to see that your next picture doesn't have tears or a weight on your shoulders, which makes me happy. Remember, you are a very conscientious and smart girl and will do well, but try to spend half your time having fun with friends and family and laughing. xxooMema We hope to see you soon!!!
-- Mema

Dear Ada, You convey a lot with a line drawing! Do you have new square glasses? They are really cool. Is the lined paper behind you because you are a student and working hard? I hope so!! We love you! Mema and Papa T
-- Mema

So you, Moon! I love the way your head is just slightly tilted.
-- Sarah

Dear Ada, You are very perceptive and creative. I look forward to your next drawing! Love, Mema
-- Mema

Ada, you are very talented! Your design for the theme you've chosen for this piece of art is imaginative, and your execution of the design is compelling. Hearty congratulations and love from Mema and Papa T!
