Art

I've been loving all of the art opportunities the boys have had lately.  

We do some art at home, but lately homework (first grade is hard!!!) has been taking a precedent, and we just don't have the time (or sometimes, desire) to sit down and draw!

H did this with his class.  I love it!  When it comes home, I'm thinking it will be framed and on the wall! 

 C was proud of the "rainbow name" that he drew on top of a worksheet one day. 

 Painting with tea.  

Our library has Thursday afternoon children's activities/crafts, and we love to go to these when we can.  

This last week it was painting with tea bags.  The boys were fascinated by the way the colors changed as they dried, and the way the different flavors of tea (cherry, peach, blackberry) made different colors. 

C's drawing of our family (and pets) from during a faculty meeting.  

This is the first that he's drawn me with hair.  

We look to be a long legged family! 

This was on the back of one of H's papers from class.

"It's a banana!  Because I LOVE to eat bananas!" 

 H's art from art class.  

They were told to draw a detailed picture of a fun place that they've been.  He chose to draw the hotel that we stayed at this summer.  It made more of an impression than I thought!

 H's church doodles:

Alligator, rhino, zebra, H, C, and our house.
