Summer is for Art

These slower days of summer have afforded us more time for art projects.  It is challenging to find projects that both boys can do.  My plan is that while Ian is in camp, Ethan and I can do projects together that would be too much for Ian.

This is a castle we made using various items we found around the house.  Ethan put the pennies on as windows.  And the catapult at the top of the picture is my sad attempt at catapult design.
Glitter is so much fun!

The boys loved decorating old t'shirts with fabric paint.  The shirt on the right side is the one Ian was wearing when he painted the one on the left:)
Ethan took his time and made sure he tried out every color.
We blew through drinking straws to create this "fireworks" picture.
Ethan had been having fun with my misc. scrapbooking papers and made all these flags which we glued on our fireworks paper to create a poster for the holiday.

love it. Keep it up. This stuff is just as important and enriching as drawing for Ethan.
