Time to Artzooka!
My children have been really honing their creativity skills lately and it's all thanks to the tv show Artzooka.
Yesterday, the children created Spongebob Squarepants using a box and yellow paper. I've got to admit it looked really good and I was really impressed with it (although less impressed with the huge mess they made with the paint). I don't normally allow my 3 and 1/2 year old daughter to use the scissors (even the baby kind) and that just gets her upset because she thinks I'm not being fair and that I'm showing favoritism.*rolls eyes*
So, fine. I gave her a pair of scissors which she happily took and she decided that the best "scrap material" was on her head. SNIP SNIP goes her curly hair and before I know it, some of her curls have ended up on the floor. Luckily it didn't look too bad and since her hair is curly, you can't see much difference. *sigh*
Anyways, tomorrow my son plans to make a mosaic and so I "googled" some simple patterns to do until I found this amazing mural, The Legend of the Fire by Harold Freedman which can be found in Melbourne, Australia. Apparently, the Harold Freedman mural took approximately one and a half years to assemble and is comprised of over one million glass mosaic tiles.
Gorgeous, isn't it??
Oh well, don't expect us to make anything THAT intricate, though.. I'll probably just go with a basic shape.. an apple perhaps?? LOL!!
