Capitol Paintings
The K/1 students are learning about Madison artist Phil Porter. Phil is one of my favorite artists, and he happens to have developmental disabilities. Phil works with an amazing organization here in Madison called Very Special Arts. The kids have learned that Phil loves to paint iconic Madison buildings. This summer I purchased a painting of the Capitol by Phil, and it has served as the inspiration for our own Capitol watercolor paintings. The K/1's and I have talked about the architecture and details of the building, along with the Capitol surroundings: green grass, farmers markets, and lakes.

This is fabulous. Is there going to be an exhibit? Is there a possibility of getting some of these exhibited in area coffee shops? Okay, you can tell I love this project. When can I do one?
