Art Fair

Our support groups Art Fair was a few weeks ago, on my K's birthday in fact! That's how we celebrated, by going to the Art Fair! :)

click on the pictures to make them bigger. :)



S. was in the 7 and under non-judged category
Dr. Seuss House

 collage he made in his boys bookclub the night before!

R's "At the Cross" She won 1st for best interpretation of theme for the show
Clay w/ craft sticks

A w/ another one of her amazing miniature creations!
"Indian Village" won first for sculpture

More pictures to follow so you can see the detail she puts into her work.

She used clay, craft sticks, saran wrap over blue clay for the water, pea gravel from our yard for the rocks on the shore line, a tree seed pod for the canoe and dirt she dug out of our ground and glued to the cardboard for the ground. She's nothing if not authentic! (and patient ;) )

Dropping by as I crawl through the TOS Crew blogs. I completely agree with Marie that you have some talented kids. I love seeing their work (and might relight a fire for my boys who love to draw and need to get back to more formal studies.)

Wonderful projects, all of them! Have you used any art curriculum with them?

Thank you for your kind comments. :)

Jamie, no, we've never used an art curriculum with them. They just create from within. Truly a God given talent.
