Ivy is proving to be quite the little artist:
Ivy's first collage. She cut out all the pieces except for the circle of the sun. She was the one that determined that the green shape looked like a kite and that the cat head looked like a cat's head and that those were wings. I made suggestions for the rest. She glued and drew the wind, around the kite.
Ivy's first collage "person". This was all her except for the fingers. Mark said that she had been quietly working with her scissors and paper and glue, while he prepared lunch. Yes, we can trust her with scissors and glue at age 3! She cut each shape out and then composed them altogether to creat this person! We were quite impressed!
Here she is organizing some collected nature objects to construct another collage.
Together, she and I created this monster creature.
This is her first practice at painting intentional objects. Step by step, line by line, she copied my strokes. My example is the right and her's is the left.
Same as above for a flower.
And after the previous 2 practices, this is her first independent masterpiece. All I did in contribution was call out suggestions/instructions from the kitchen while she painted. "Paint a line for the tree…"
My little artist…who can paint with carpet beneath her, even!
This is her most recent creation on a white board. A man running through grass with a flower and a tree and a sun and cloud overhead. The only parts I helped with were in suggestions for what she could add and I did the right green foot and the green fingers, as well as the base of the trunk of the tree.
