Some Familiar Faces

Earlier this month, Timo and I walked into the school room to discover some familiar faces had been drawn on our whiteboard. AJ had decided to draw (from left to right) Hamm, Jessie, Buzz, Woody, and Zurg. I thought it was great that he was able to draw the characters from his favorite movies on his own.

A Pretty Picture

Part of homeschooling has included some self-taught art classes. I bought the kids some books, and they happily complete pictures at their own pace. I have given them one short lesson, talking about blending colors and drawing water based on the art in The Story about Ping, but most of their art is done on their own. Here is a sample of their artwork.
