Andrew’s Race Track Art
May 29th
Back in February when we were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras I tweeted from the Race Track “Doing what every good parent does, teaching our kids how to win at the races.” and added the picture http://tweetphoto.com/11518070.
So yesterday Andrew finished up his school year and he came home with his art work and take a guess what was in the package. Race Track art.
Statue of Liberty
Aug 16th
Alex: We made the statue of Liberty because it was almost the 4th of July and the end of school. You an see that we made windows on the Statue of Liberty’s hat. We also made the book in her hand and we also put the fire in the torch.
We also made the lines on the dress to make it look like it was real.

Me: Here’s your second piece of art work, a fancy looking guitar, tell me about it.
Alex: The lines on the outside of the guitar are vibrations.
Me: Why did you decide to do a guitar?
Alex: We had to.
Me: So they didn’t give you a choice?
Alex: No.
Me. Ok. Is there anything else you want to share about your work?
Alex: Yes. I picked the colors red and blue for the guitar because they are my favorite colors.
Me: How did you pick the colors for the lines?
Alex: Are art teacher put expo sharpies into two buckets and we got to pick five or four at a time and we got to do whatever colors we wanted.
Me: Very nice. Anything else?
Alex: No.
Me: Ok, thanks.

Dad: Yes, but it’s the first one you picked to put on the website.
Alex: Oh.
Dad: So, tell me about it.

Dad: Ok, what type of flower did you do?
Alex: I don’t know.
Dad: How did you pick the colors?
Alex: We got to pick the colors by chalk. My colors were yellow, green, and blue. We put those colours on the leaves.
Dad: How did you do the background?

First we got a big piece of paper and we did the background with the dotters. Then we made a big fish container and we outlined with a Sharpie. Then we drew the fish and outlined them with a Sharpie.

Alex’s Owl Picture from Art.
May 2nd
Our class made owl’s in Art class. I made a good one. I cut out the eyes from yellow paper and drew black circles in the middle. My owl’s wings were long. I drew a rocket ship in the picture and I also drew the moon and lots of stars. I colored it with oil pastels. We made the wings curvy rectangular lines. We made the body in the shape of a square. We made the beak one triangle facing up and one facing down. I made two leaves.
