My Little Artist

Some boys love sports.  

Some boys love trains.  

My boy loves art.  

Drawing.

Painting.

Cutting.

Creating.

All day.  Every day.

We have creations on our walls, in frames, on the fridge and in scrapbooks.  

He amazes me more and more everyday with what he creates at the age of 4.  

Here are two things he created just this week:

1.  Fantastic Four Book

He made his own book (he broke our stapler so he hole punched and I helped tie the ribbons).  It was all about the characters of 

Fantastic 4.

 Seri helped write "flamse" and he was so mad that she spelled it wrong.  She was darn close.

Little does he know "stretch" is spelled wrong too.

This is the first time I have ever seen him draw a jet with his name. 

 2.  Outer space

He started this yesterday in my classroom.  He found the star stickers in the treasure box and that must have triggered the picture.  He is studying space at preschool and was telling me all about constellations.  If you look closely, there is a constellation at the top of the picture.  

I think this may be one of his best drawings yet.  It's definitely making it's way to the "art gallery" down our stairwell. 

 Can you find the sun?  Meteor?  Earth?  Rocket?  Planets? Constellation?  

I love that he has a passion.  

We go through ALOT of paper, tape, glue and markers.  I am constantly finding tape on my socks, pants, counters and floor.  Even though I can get frustrated with the mess he can make on the kitchen floor and our white table is stained with markers and paints, I wouldn't change anything.  I hope he continues to love being an artist.
