Rose-Mary Walls never was the brightest person when it comes to parenting or mathematics, but when it came to the arts she was nothing short of an Einstein. Through out the book Jeannette and her siblings never went to school much mostly because their parents, Rex and Rose-Mary felt there wasn’t anything that couldn’t be taught at home or through life itself. Rex was an engineering genius, he taught the kids about stars and planets, shooting, knife throwing, overall he taught them how to fend for themselves. Rose-Mary was an artist and often a novelist. She would work on short stories and paint whatever she could as long as she didn’t run out of paint of supplies, she taught her children that even the ugliest things or ugliest people could be beautiful.

Lastly, I chose studio art because that was Rose-Mary’s main thing to do, painting and drawing is what she lived for, she wouldn’t even have enough space in her home for all the pieces she created.
