My daughter is going to enter an art contest. Theme: Watersheds. Any ideas what would be fun to draw?

I know it would be best to let her choose for herself, but we would like some ideas that would get her started thinking. Some ideas that we've come up with already: water, geese, ducks, minnows, fish, frogs, lily pads, tadpoles, cat tails, reeds, bamboo, waterfalls, rain, boats, rocks, turtles, creeks, woods, bridges, snakes. Do you know of any others? Thanks!

What kinds of environments are watersheds, besides swaps?



It could just be pond in a forrest, or what else, a field that is very very wet (a bog, lots of peat),...



Well she could do tall grasses, with birds in the grass, little ones grasping the tall stalks of grass, bigger birds nesting, a turtle coming up for air, . . an otter swimming,... the sky reflecting off the ripples in the water,... tiny water plants lining the shoreline, no distinctly bare land, but graduations (tall short in between) of grasses,.... Blue sky %26amp; fluffy white clouds. A goose or a swan with her little ones following her. a duck or two,... But not too many animals, don't get too carried away, they may be looking for something that would look like a natural setting, like a picture postcard.



Cheers %26amp; good luck!!!

Reply:What is not important as long as she has fun. Good luck.
Reply:from your spelling i am to understand that you are a Brit. if so get your daughter to think laterally, the theme is watershed, get to her look up the word. you will see it has several different meanings.

from a media watershed to the one you picked up on.

try churches, clocktowers, family groups watching tv, bedtime, children sleeping, use different medium from charcoal to ink or both

dont be tight loosen up your style, above all enjoy, contest are notorious for thier slanted opinions impress upon her the need to be aware it is only an opinion, good luck LF
