Painting

Mommy got out the tempera paints for an exciting session of painting. We made a number of watercolors last week, so this seems to be a recurring theme. I made a picture of a sliding board. Mommy's colorful picture consisted of a rainbow spiral of Archimedes type of thing.



I love the feel of the brush on the paper. I also love the bright colors and the texture of the paint.

Cool Structure

I built a very cool structure with my magnetic building toys. I consists of a whole series of interlocking triangles. Inside a bunch of the little pyramids, I place Hershey's Kisses to complete the look. I like it.

Wheat Painting

In church school yesterday, we did a fun art project, painting with wheat sheaves. Apparently, long ago these were the standard paintbrushes of the time. They're pretty hard to work with. In fact, one of my pictures has a bunch of wheat seeds embedded in it. It was a lot of fun painting with these odd brushes.

Watercolor

Today, we got out the watercolor paints. I forgot how much fun this is since we hadn't done it in a long while. I made a lot of cool stuff. An American flag, some houses, a picture of our fireplace, and a volcano. I always make sure to sign my name when making a picture so everyone knows who the artist is.
