Libby told me she was studying plants in science. I showed her my book The Girl Who Drew Butterflies: How Maria Merian's Art Changed Science. We looked at the scientific illustrations of insects, flowers, and fruit. I had a vase of fresh flowers and herbs: rosemary and sage. Libby and I showed Chef the fresh herbs that can be used in cooking. I had Libby sketch out her flowers and vase on watercolor paper using pencil. Then, Libby used watercolor paints to create her artwork. She did not finish, but she can finish it in tomorrow's class. I want to keep encouraging Libby to create without worrying about making a mistake or having it be perfect.
