Ellie's Art Show
Ellie is in preschool now, and one of the things she does every day is make art. For some reason, at the preschool they don't call it "art" - they call it "crafts." But it's art. She's learning how to use paints and construction paper and everything. Every couple of days she brings home a whole stack of art to show us, and it's getting more and more impressive. Here are a few samples of her work.
First, a family portrait. This is the first time we've been able to actually see the baby in Mommy's tummy. And when I asked her why I have such long hair (that's me in black), she said, "Daddy, I told my teacher that you have sorta long hair in the back."
Next, a piece of abstract art, created using a slice of an apple dipped in poster paint as a stamp (the paper got kind of crinkly with the paint; hence the wavy look).

Fingerpainting (this paper was quite large, and this cropped version is all that would fit on our scanner). Look closely and you can see whole handprints.
Finally, this picture was actually drawn at home, around Halloween. The guy in the middle is a monster, and the figure on the right is a witch. That's all I know about it, except that she's getting really good at drawing faces.
Comments:
I have been corrected on my interpretation of the final picture. The guy in the middle is just a normal guy, who is being scared by the witch on the right and the monster on the left. He doesn't look too scared to me. But I still love his face.
