Would you like to color with me???

I hear this question about
20 times a day. Addie LOVES to
color, paint, water paint, etc.
She is getting better at staying
in the lines and coming up with
drawings by herself. She used
to have me draw a picture for her
first then she'd color or paint it.
But now shes developing some of her
own skills for drawing. We've been working
on the Color wheel and the 3 Primary colors.
Still working on Complementry colors though.
So I decided it was time to share some
of her masterpieces with you....
This is her latest creation.
"The Happy Cookie Monster Family"
She found a little bag of googly eyes amoungst
my craft stuff and asked me if she could make
a cookie monster "because cookie monster has eyes like
these." Sure why not? So she sat down at the table
grabbed her blue marker and this is what she came up with.

Shapes and some extra scribbles. She was practicing
so hard to stay in the lines. Shes getting better and better
every time!

"Color Wheel"
We started with the Primary Colors and made
all the other colors from those 3 colors.
And she wrote her name on her painting to top it off!

What a lucky girl to have 2 wonderful Grandparents to
inherit this talent from...because i'm pretty sure
she didn't get it from her parents!!!

Way to go Addie! I teach my students to make all the complementary and intermediates using only the primary colors too. Wow! and you're doing it at three! I'm glad you like art like I do. Keep up the good work. I'm so proud. I'll color with you when you come to our house. I have a lot of paint and brushes. Love Grandpa
