The girls think my lion looks sad. That wasn't intentional.
Lion by Emily, 14, colored pencils
Lion by Heather, 16, chalk pastels with pencil details (maybe if I had done that mine wouldn't look sad.)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Motherhoodlooms. It is so fun when we take time for art.
ReplyDeleteHow neat! Love the lions. I'm horrible at art and am still trying to figure out how best to teach it to my kids.

DeleteMy daughter did quite a bit with chalk pastels last year and really enjoyed it. She's looking forward to getting back to it next school year. :-) Your lions and Monet-inspired artwork are all lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kym, we all enjoyed it. The chalked hair, though, I've been seeing some strange shades.
DeleteArt is so important in the development of children! The lion heads are all very nice!
ReplyDeleteThe lions are pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!
