Feeling Artsy

Owen has never been all that interested in arts and crafts. As his preschool teacher says, "He's just too busy to sit down for that." ha ha yesss...he's busy.
The picture above is the art that he made for us at school for Christmas. It was all wrapped up, and he was so excited. Of COURSE I loved it. But if I was judging for artistic merit...well...it is a lovely shade of...brown.

Anyway, it's all cool. Art isn't necessarily his thing. He has lots of other wonderful "things."

Then one day I was busy with something and I let him sit at the kitchen table with a big bowl of clay that was left over from Liam's 3rd grade diorama project. I came back to find...wa-la! Le Artiste! A little clay army of men. One of them is a dinosaur even. Amazing! Fabulous! We have found his perfect medium! Seriously, I can't believe he came up with them all on his own. Makes me smile. And I'm so glad I took pictures because after he tried to play with his "guys" they all fell apart, of course.
