And you know my name is Simon, and I like to do drawrings...

I have a boy's boy, which will probably mean I will have a man's man. He has such an engineering geared mind. He's never been interested in coloring or even sitting still for that matter, unless he's taking something apart. I was soooo happy when my little boy's mind is starting to show interest in writing and drawing. He handed this to me the other night, and you would have thought he drew the Mona Lisa!

It was so cute how he described every piece to me, so I had to label it for prosperity. Of course the following night the interest was gone, and he was off taking something apart or putting it back together. :) I will take what I can get.

Art Class

Today G and I had our first Art Class with Miss Anita. I was really impressed, and G had so much fun! We are both going to learn so much about art, and since it's really something that I've always loved and have a somewhat small background in, I think I will enjoy it that much more.

Today we made a craft - a frog out of a paper plate and painted with tempura paint.

Then today's artist was Piet Mondrian. She spoke about vertical and horizontal in talking about his black lines as well as the primary colors that he used.

I also learned that G can use scissors. He cut out the hot air balloon all by himself and did a great job! I have to admit I took away the scissors months ago when he cut a large hole in his pants and I haven't even given the scissors a second thought. My goal is to let him make all of the projects himself, and I say that only because I noticed the mom next to me doing her son's entire project. Of course it looked perfect, but it wasn't his. Anyway, I wasn't tempted, but I want to make a point not to and let him learn.

We can't wait for next week. I hear that Jackson Pollack is everyone's favorite, and I know why. :) Splash, splash. Not sure if and when we will learn about him this 6 week session.
