A Good Artist

one of today's class assignments was to make an "inspirational poster". i wanted the kids to choose subjects like "what makes a good athlete?", or "why i love my mom". too bad they didn't really understand, and i got back a few variations on "why pokemon is awsome (sic)". it's ok, they had fun. my example is above.

i teach an additional kindergarten art class on saturdays. i wanted them to do crackle pictures (crumbling up a drawing, smoothing it out, then letting watercolor bleed into the cracks). it didn't work out as well as i had hoped, but one little girl in particular made this beautiful lil painting. right now it's my desktop picture:

i'm gonna miss these lil dudes!
