Hannah, 5 and Charlie, 3 came to grammas on a painting retreat, as rewards incentive to go to school without much problem over the week. Here we are practicing dipping brushes into water and paints and painting on store bought color book pages...they caught on fairly quick!
Hannah loves pigs and one of her favorite cartoons is Olivia, she is a pig...remember Hannah is 5
Charlie's image undertook the look of a bird!!! do you see it...he is 3!they painted going on 3 hours and didn't get tired..we ran out of paint...i mixed up some goldens for them but that contains lead so i didn't do that for very long...
but they learned how to handle a brush fairly well and how to not get the brush toooo wet when you want color...
they did better than some of my older students for focusing!
She is very much looking forward to next friday too...:) So is Charlie but I really think Hannah will equate it more special if she gets to come alone...we will see...
Hannah has Autism and going to school she likes to do
but the socializing with the children kind of freaks her out a little
it is a small class and she has been with these children for 2 years in pre-preschool and preschool...so she will readjust in a week or so more...i hope...
thanks for coming by!

I see they both have talent! Keep up the encouragement - it works.
That is so cool. I LOVE to see kids learning and creating and painting. I love the pigs. Tell her job well done. :)Bea
The children are lucky to have such an awesome Grammy :) Maybe next week I'll drop Hannah off without Charlie knowing...
Now I see why you reorganized and did a bit of picking up the studio this week. What a great way to prepare a child, especially one with special needs, for a difficult transition. Hannah is actually a better artist than I. At least I could tell HERS was a pig! Way to go. You are one great GRAND!
Aw! They are adorable artists. I love their work. Pigs and birds..my favorites!!
They are very dedicated artists! I love both their paintings, the pigs particularly! I know what you mean about using too much water-a very common start to any painting career! I hope they both get on ok back at school.
I love seeing kids having fun with paint and/or anything creative that can channel their imagination. Beats Nintendo, any day!!!
