Ysa has been drawing like crazy in the past couple of months! Not only drawing, but cutting and pasting as well. Her favorite subject matter so far is girls, boys*, suns and houses. Medium: colored pencil on recycled homework from our students; marker, cut coloring books, glue. As much as I'm temped to take credit, this burst is all from her - no parental prodding on our part required. (We just need to watch what books we leave lying around, as they're liable to become part of her portfolio if we're not careful)
(*Ysa's boys, btw, are usually distinguishable from girls by a small line drawn downward from between the legs)
How cute. At convention recently, I heard the saying by Picasso? "A painter transforms the sun into a yellow spot. An artist transforms a yellow spot into the sun."
ReplyDelete...and a three year old with a yellow marker leaves yellow spots all over the house...
