Art

Sometimes it is easy to miss how much the kids are growing when you see them everyday and the changes from day to day are small and sometimes even seem to go backwards. We worked on an art lesson for the past two days and it surprised me to find that that is where they are showing signs of growing up. Allanna is suddenly drawing what she sees. Small children use symbols to represent things in their art, a yellow circle with long and short lines for a sun, a green strait line with a red circle on top for a flower and a stick person that is the same size as the flower, tree and house. But for the past two days Allanna has worked really hard on a white flower. She put in shadow and shading on the petals and left out the sun at the top of the page. She is growing up and so are all the others, and this past week, after not seeing them for a couple of months I have noticed.
