Flowers and Butterfly - by Leah (grade 5)

Leah spent several  classes working on this piece, and I think it's safe to say her efforts paid off!  This is a lovely, delicate drawing with gorgeous colour.  I also like the way she balances the positive shapes of the flower and butterfly with the negative shapes of her background.  Take a look at those background shapes, for example, the space enclosed between  the flower stem on the left and the flower petals on the right, or the three spaces between the petals in the lower right hand corner.  Each space forms an interesting abstract shape, adding interest  to the overall composition.
