Sam's World of Art

We just had the first parent-teacher conference of the year. Among other things, Ms. Mulvaney emphasized his love of drawing and artwork. Just the other day, for instance, he sat focused intently for 2.5 hours drawing and making up narratives to accompany his drawings. She says She's never seen a student with this sort of artistic creativity this young--it's usually 6 or 7.

And we've really been enjoying what he's come up with. Wednesday night Sam and I just sat and drew robots for a long time. Tonight he has a babysitter coming with a book on how to draw superheroes. You can imagine how excited he is. :-)

The first drawing here is a spooky face appearing in a crystal ball. I really like that one.

The second... I am not sure what the ears/wings are on top. But the different "levels" are God's world, the plant world, the people world and the bubble world. At first I thought the flame in God's world was like the burning bush, which he's recently learned about again in Sunday school. Nope, God is wearing a cape! Unexpected.

The third is a house with a piano in the attic. The balls & lines are musical notes wafting through the air. That's all I remember--I am sure there's more.
