Cici's Masterpiece.

2011-03-01T13:15:00.000-05:00

Cici has a secret...Cici likes to paint. She is not fanatical about it and I dare say I shutter when my kids paint (all that mess). But this last summer, I took her to a local artist who had opened up her doors to teaching. It was a chance for Cici to get serious about something she had always dreamed about trying. This is her first masterpiece - what do you think?!

Crayon Minnie Mouse.

Cici is such a fun little artist! I love her colors and attention to detail. This is her version of Minnie Mouse! By far the best version out their!

Moonsand rainbow.

I could be mistaken as I've never worked with moonsand before - but I think these were made using this art medium. I believe this was for made for Father's day 2008!

Colorful Crayon Dinosaur!

2008-09-29T14:17:00.001-04:00

Look at this great dinosaur that Nini made! I love the bright colors! She has improved her in her drawing abilities. I think she has more patience!

Father's Day Ties 2008

2008-09-29T14:15:00.001-04:00

Cici and nini created these for Father's Day 2008. It's construction paper and flowers glued to make it look like a Hawaiin shirt!

Kindergarten Memories 2008

Cici and nIni both had a wonderful time at their new school and in their kindergarten year. Here is a huge posterboard book that their teacher put together for them. It is just too big to keep! I took off the important art work and photos after taking these photos:

Cici

Nini's tree.

2008-02-13T12:17:00.001-05:00

This was part of a book about colors. I loved her tree and the vivid colors in the photo and that she got to use the green sponges to make the grass and leaves of the tree. The brown is done with marker pen. Great job Nini!

Cici's cutting and pasting art.

2008-02-13T12:15:00.001-05:00

The girls do a log of cutting and pasting at school. Both of these projects are Cici's and what a great job she did on them - especially that cute festive holiday candle!

Polar Bears!

2008-02-13T12:14:00.001-05:00

I just love these drawings of polar bears the girls did at their school. Nini's is the top and Cici's is the bottom. They had to copy the teachers - look how different they drew their bears!

Cici art November to February

2008-02-13T12:08:00.002-05:00

I just can't get enough of Cici's cute little curls she puts on all the girls she draws.
This heart was drawn first with pencil, all on her own! What a creative little lady to take the pens and make it a rainbow heart!
This is my favorite little drawing that she's made since November. The colors, the lines, and especially that she wrote mommy and all the hearts!
Cici drawing her daddy!
This was part of their art class showing face proportions.

Nini November to January art.

2008-02-13T11:59:00.004-05:00

Nini doesn't like to draw much, but this she did on her own, kind of an abstract art project for her. She made the squiggly lines, colored in certain areas, and then used the whole punches and glued them on her art project. This was totally spontaneous and she had such a fun time!
I apologize, but I can't for the life of me remember why she drew this - something to do with a book they were reading at school. It's creative - maybe and owl? I need to show this to her and ask her tonight!
This project was part of her art class they both took in the winter. The teacher drew the circle and showed them how face poportions work. Look at the great smile she made!
This was project at school where she was asked to show what she was most thankful. The snowman won! I love how happy and defined her snowman is.

This picture had a story with it - which I'll have to reask the details, but it had something to do with the dog rescuing somebody. Quite the interesting picture!

Nini never had the patience to sit and draw, especially people! But early this year, after going on an outing with her and Cici at the park, and after a very long sun drought, she drew this picture of me pushing the girls in their stroller. Wow, I was so proud of her! It must have been a fun time if she sat and had the patience to draw all three of us!

Cici is famous in our family for drawing these cute little princess-like pictures. She's really good at making them and we are glad to get to look at them!

2007-11-14T05:36:00.000-05:00

Wow! Look at these colors Nini put together while using the "Paint" program on our computer. I'm not a big component of video games and such on the computer - but I certainly don't mind a program like this than encourages them to make something as colorful and vivid as this drawing. Even a computer mouse can be a medium for little artists!

Cici 2007

Even scribbles can become art. Look at these great colors! Cici spent a lot of time and energy filling this piece of paper in - I can only imagine the tension that was released through all this coloring!
