Artwork Dump

I'm cleaning our desk area and so finally got around to scanning some things in that have been sitting around for months.

Shareese:

Shareese's 2014 Reflections Entry titled "Looking through the store window".  

Theme: "The world would be a better place if..."

Reese's caption: "The world would be a better place if all the candy in the store was free!"

Samples of Shareese's writing at the beginning of 1st grade, 2014

A card (front above, inside below) Reese made for me.  It's been on my night stand forever, so I want to say she gave it to me for thanksgiving 2013, but frankly I can't remember exactly when she gave it to me.

Summer 2014. One of the world lessons we did was on Chichen Itza

Summer 2014.  One of the world lessons we did for table time was the Eiffel Tower.

Reese's picture of the family.  It's hard to see, but it's drawn on a heart. Early 2014

Reese's hand, kindergarten, 2013

One of the many cards she makes for me.  This one was in November 2014, hence the pumpkin pie.

Also, strawberries, cake, and us together

This was this past Oct or Nov.  Reese was practicing drawing from her drawing techniques book.  I'm impressed with the depth perspective.  Not usually in 1st grader drawings.

Liam:

Liam hand print in preschool last year, 2013.

November 2014, Liam draws flags

Liam's family portrait, sometime in the past few months.

This is from yesterday. We were talking about peacocks.  Liam drew peacock food: berries, small animals, bugs, along with some other things.

Beginning of school year for Liam, Pre-K 2014 coloring

Beginning of school year for Liam, Pre-K 2014 writing

Liam's 2014 turkey hand

Liam's Chichen Itza, which he drew just now because he saw me posting Shareese's and got jealous.

I know, More art

But it's cute!

 The other day, we watched original Transformers:

And Reese used her incredible art skills to draw a scene for Liam:

She did not have the above reference shot.  She drew it from memory.

School Work

Just a couple of things

End of School year work:

Reese's sentence was going to say "I like to cook with my mom."  But she got a sticker for it, anyway.

The other side of the worksheet.

This is where Liam stayed all year long- he would start out with a little bit of effort and then just not finish.  He was way more interested in socializing than getting his work done.  

Reese made me this sweet card for Christmas 2013, but I forgot to post it.

And this is the inside of the card

.  I think they did these silhouettes at Liam's preschool for Mother's Day. It's 18"x 12", so I had to scan it in in 3 parts and photoshop them together.  But I love it so much it was worth the extra effort.

Liam's artwork is kind of at a "few lines suffice" stage.  They may look like scribbles to you, but he knows exactly what he's drawing.

Art

Will volunteered to help at an elementary school last week.  He participated with the kids in painting the aboriginal flag with Q-tips.

And Reese used a book with abstract faces as the inspiration for this work of art:

And some church-related stuff

Chuck E Pictures

It's a little funny that the picture I have hanging on my fridge of my kids that I love are from the sketch machine at Chuck E Cheese.  It only costs one coin for the machine to take your pic, make it look like a sketch and print it out for you.  The one of Reese is recent, but I am amazed at how this 4 year old looks almost like a young woman.  The one of Liam is from last October, but I don't think I'll cover it up with a new photo anytime soon.

And here's a Reese picture just for fun.
