Luke has started an art class at school. Most days when he comes from school, he pulls out his crayons, pencils and paper and goes to town drawing a variety of pictures. He also brings home a portfolio of drawings and paintings every day from school. Because the boys go to a Montessori preschool, Luke is free to spend every day creating pictures if he so desires. They are often a variation of a car that can fly or of a person - but he loves it and he comes up with some pretty creative things (like the laptop that he made, for example). I left work early today so I could see him do his art class - it was really cool and I can tell that he loves it.
Week 1 - this is either a panda bear or a lion - I've heard him say both.
Week 2 - a Bald Eagle (they are focusing on endangered species the first few weeks) - apparently the tail is on the bottom and the wings are on the top.
Today - a buffalo's head. The art teacher talked to the kids about buffaloes and that they are really bison in the North America. She then asked the kids if they could give him a name. One little girl named him Sylvester. Luke raised his hand and named him Baby Buffalo.
Today's medium were pastels and colored pencils.
This is a sweet picture that Luke made for my Aunt Jane earlier this week.
Ryan is taking gymnastics at school. He is loving that - he likes to demonstrate what he gets to do each week. I'll have to send Greg to watch and take pictures one day - it is right after lunch and I'd have to take off a whole day to see him (I took him to gymnastics for 6 weeks earlier this year). I love that they have their own distinct personalities and interests in things.
