Strokes and Such
Ever since I had my own painting adventure at Spirited Art, I've been wanting to either take Sam and Charlie there to do a kids' painting, or have them create their own canvas art at home. Well, this past weekend, I opted for the latter ~ and we had a ball! I was afraid if I didn't give them some direction that within 5 minutes we would end up with two giant canvases of a swirled colorful mess ~ so I pulled up images of kid paintings on the Internet and had each of them pick out their designs. Charlie opted for a Snoopy painting, while Sam chose a peace-sign / ferris wheel design. I went ahead and used a pencil to sketch out the Snoopy print ~ just to give Charlie something to follow. Other than that and some verbal guidance, the two of them were on their own. They both spent about an hour and a half on their artwork, and really did a fantastic job! And here, the finished product! Two new pieces of art to add to our playroom walls.
