Another milestone

Rilla finished her first college class yesterday. A 200-level Women in Art course, which, yes, was rather a dive into the deep end. She turned in her final paper and we celebrated with Jamaican takeout. She worked so hard & has done very well in the class—and as her study partner, gosh I learned a lot!
She (we!) encountered the work of so many artists we hadn’t met before: Carrie Mae Weems, Mariko Mori, Emily Counts, Rosa Bonheur, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Pablita Velarde, and Edmonia Lewis to name a few.
This homeschooling gig remains my best education ever. So grateful for the ongoing adventure.
