Our local library is wonderful (as are most libraries) one of my favorite things are the classes they offer. In the fall they offer cartoon class once a month. The kids have done it before and always have a great time. The instructor is a local cartoonist. She is so positive and enjoys each of the children's talents, and they always learn something.
I love their different art style.
Miles- big not as much detail as others. He draws with energy just like everything else he does. As a toddler I could never pin him down long. He seems more interested in eating the crayons then coloring with them. He has come a long way. Mostly the class provided him with yet another way to socialize with new people.
Griffin- likes to take his time and really work at what he's doing. He gets frustrated at himself when it doesn't come out the way he pictured, but he never gives up. He loves to draw.
Caleigh- she is our resident artist. Her art reflects her personality. She's silly but quiet. She could sit all day and work on a project. Lots of details. I think drawing "emotions" plays to her strength as an observer, just like her daddy. She is always leaving a situation and then drawing a picture about it.
When she was 4 she got really frustrated because I wasn't getting her what she wanted. So after bugging me for an annoying amount of time she slipped off to her room and came back with a drawing of a girl with a mad face and the caption read "NOW!" It took me so off guard I gave in. (I don't remember what she wanted but I do remember laughing).

I liked all their "grossed out" faces. What a fun project to do.
Caleigh has her Dad's art talent.
Caleigh - just look at those cartoon figures! Wow! You should draw a picture of your family to have framed. You are all great artists.
