art show

Elise has loved to do art projects since she could hold a crayon and so when I heard about an adorable Art Camp they offer in town for the summer, I knew it was for her. Just an hour and a half each morning for a week...she was thrilled at the idea, and had such a great time. I must say I was pretty blown away each day by the work she brought home. So, here it is, her first art show:



day 1: markers


day 2: markers (she was slightly disappointed as she was looking very forward to working with other mediums- but I loved the picture!)



day 3: oil pastels (I seriously am still in awe that she did this....I think it is going to be framed in my kitchen somewhere.)

day 4: markers/watercolors

day 5: markers (They each received a stuffed parakeet and drew a picture of their new friend.)


I am so proud, and so glad she had fun. She told me she had been having lots of fun playing with her brother and sister everyday, but that it felt good to do something by herself. I think she felt a little guilty for feeling this way, so I tried to assure her that was normal to feel that way, and that it was important for her to get to spend time doing things she loves on her own. She had a great week, and is sad to see it end.

We are proud of you, E!
