Aubrina's latest art project
One thing we love about Aubrina and Robby's school is that they get to do a ton of art. Another thing we love is that the teachers are always challenging the kids to try new things and learn in new ways. This week Aubrina is working on a special art project. They are hoping to have the children's art displayed in a building on the Google campus (the building next to the building that I work in), so I'm really hoping that they get chosen!
Here is what they're doing: The children are interested in photography, so the teachers are teaching them how to take pictures. When the individual children take a picture of something that they really like, the teachers print out a large version of the picture for the children to use as inspiration for a work of art. First the child is challenged to draw what they see in the picture. Next, the child is challenged to add color to their drawing, again using the picture as inspiration.
The art that is coming out of this project is amazing! These are two year olds, and I have to say that I was really impressed by the true works of art that the children created. Here is a picture of Aubrina's work of art - you can see her picture for inspiration, as well as her finished product. There's also a picture of the artist herself, just since she so darn cute. Can you tell that I'm a proud Mama?? :)
