I was asked at 11:05 pm last night to substitute for Bella this morning in addition to our class this afternoon and I was happy to do it. I had to make an adjustment in my schedule and as a result, our first class was 50 minutes today as reflected in the Session Minutes and Minute Attended above. It was a pleasure to meet with Bella for 2 periods today!

Bella is doing great and I think is getting more confident in her drawing and comfortable around me which is allowing her to not be nervous to make mistakes. She can definitely use stippling to create a beautiful project and I'm excited to see her grow through it.

Bella is great at motor control and could definitely learn a lot of new drawing skills. I'm going to work on building her confidence and trying to get her to focus on controlling the pressure of the pen.
