Robin’s Art: A 3-D Painting Of Jellyfish

by Jon Katz

My granddaughter Robin, who is six, is coming to visit the farm once more the week after next for a weekend. She may be bringing another one of her paintings; I hope so.

One is on the wall already. In her art class, the assignment was to find a way to capture the look and feel of a jellyfish.

So she made her first 3-D piece of art, a combination of painting and craft. I better get some paint supplies.

  1. Not only does Robin appear to be a gifted young artist, kudos to the teacher who did more than say ‘draw a tree’ or ‘draw your favorite pet.’

  2. Wow, that girl is the real deal. I have zilch fine art talent but my nieces and nephews, you could see from a young age they had real talent. Like Robin, you framed and hung their art “for real”

    How lovely she will have Maria to help support her as an artist, a nice connection for your family.

  3. Jon, i agree wholeheartedly with all of the above AND no need to go to the MET or to Florence, ITALY – we can just enjoy Robin’s ART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best depiction of jellyfish ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Iope she gets to experience the bonanza of projects at sue Silverstein’s art rooms someday…she would have a blast,

  5. “Oh look, jellyfish by a talented 12th grader in Sue Silverstein’s class, using vintage clothing parts. No wait — What? This was crafted by a SIX year old?” The color choice and composition show such pleasant balance. The beads capture the gentle sweep and flow of the water. This will be quite a visit!

  6. I am continually nonplussed at Robin’s artistic brain and skills! WOW! Thank you for sharing!

  7. I am a retired art teacher (do artists really retire?). Believe me…Robin’s artwork is beyond her years! Brilliant!
