Writing about art

One of the reasons we chose to go to the National Gallery of Art for Holly's birthday was that Trevor needed to see, in person, a painting of his choosing about which he would then write a four paged paper for his art history class.

He had a few in mind and ended up choosing View of Medinet El-Fayoum.

Part of the class requirements were to take the paper to the school's writing center to be reviewed by a writing tutor. This was the text conversation between me and Trevor afterwards.

These were her written comments on Trevor's paper.

I know Nancy, as we had the same boss when I worked at the college. (Miss that job!!) She didn't make the connection that Trevor was my kid. And I knew she'd want to know that.

"I think his paper is the best one I have ever read from from a student in my 25 years in the Writing Center."

I really can't add anything more to this!
