Art from School

Braeden has never gone to a school where they do these kind of formal little art projects. I didn't miss them when he was younger, but I do find I am enjoying the ones that come home with Thane. I suppose part of it is that Thane still isn't drawing or coloring, so without some of this stuff I wouldn't have anything!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year . . .

I am enjoying some of Thane's new art. He calls this one "Pile of Cars."

More Mixed Art

I can't resist posting one of the images that appeared on my desk when I was in the shower today. It's cute! nHe says the dinosaurs are hungry and want to eat plants.

Mixed

Thane came to me and said, “I have a surprise for you . . . it’s mixed!”


You have to check Rainforest Pictures to understand that was a big deal to him! He was quite happy and proud of himself, and I am enjoying my surprise.

Rainforest Pictures

Thane created what he called pictures of the "Rainforest" for me today. I have been meaning to make a slide show of his art, but haven't gotten around to it . . . and this is very representative of what he likes to do with stickers.






I posted this and then Thane decided to make a few more pictures. The last in the groups is his "Rainbow Rainforest" . . . he is so cute when he brings me a new pictures. He is totally enjoying himself.




He took the rainbow back to add to it.

Portrait of Mommy

It's not often that I post a pictures of myself, but this one is rather charming to me. My little artist was working with his occupational therapist to create this picture of Mommy. The sweetest part of it was when he was trying to draw to the mouth. He didn't care what the hair looked like, and he only drew dots for eyes, but the mouth had to be smiling. He tried to draw it and was frustrated, so he asked for hand-over-hand support to make a big smile . . . it had to be a big smile. I guess I just think it is sweet that if he is drawing my picture he thinks it should have an ear-to-ear grin on my face.

Not to mention that I do rather look like a big round ball with arms and legs sticking out . . .

Thane's Art

Thane has been doing a lot of art at school this week. I rather like the print and think I should put him to work making wrapping paper. I remember doing that with Braeden when he was little. I also can see the whale in the whale drawing. I have to say it is kind of fun getting back all this artwork. Most of what I got back from Montessori with Braeden was tracings from the metal insets.
