Artist or Architect?




Jenna's interest in coloring has really piqued this week. She is coloring pictures inside the lines now. Her coloring has purpose instead of just scribbling. This is the picture that she worked HOURS on. She would draw a shape and then outline it in a color. She would choose a new color and color inside the shape again and again.

I thought this was a curious form of art for a 3 1/2 year old. However, then I remembered she attended 3 sessions of the Art Lit Class I taught at school. We did a project similiar to this. . . could this be how she learned it?

She added a few more shapes to her picture. The final project was pretty cool. She wanted to give it away to her friend. I couldn't part with it, so I made a color copy for her to give to her friend.

This is pretty amazing for her age! She must have amazing preschool teachers.

This reminds me of yesterday when I picked Ty up from school. The class just started a unit very similar to your "communities and occupations." On a take-home project, he wrote that he wanted to be a volcanologist when he grew up, and had drawn a picture of a man inside a spurting volcano. His teachers were blown away!

Blown away...no pun intended? lol

I can't wait to see what Tyler does for a profession. He has quite the brain!
