Art Show

My boys love art. They love to draw, and they sit for long periods

of time sketching and drawing. They're at a stage now where pencil

drawings are preferred...no color necessary.

And, since we homeschool, and since I have about

as much artistic talent as a gnat,

we thought an art class would be a good idea.

We found a great Christian art teacher for them.

She prays with them before each class,

has soooo much patience,

and comes up with the coolest projects for them!

She even enters some of their work in the local

art shows.

At the end of the year, they have an art show

for parents, and anyone else that would like to visit.

Their art show was yesterday and they were so

pleased! Amarin's already asking when he

can take art classes again!

Here's a sample of their work this year.

Amarin's leaf project using warm and cool color markers.

In the spring, they get to work with clay.

Then, for the art show, they have to "make it look real."

This is Jacob's weaving project.

He chose gold and black to make it look Egyptian.

And Jacob's pencil sketch of his hands...

"peace" and "hang loose."

Know what was really special?

Daddy skipped an awesome "work" golf outing

for the boys' art show.

We think he's the coolest dad ever!
