Art For Art's Sake

 
Liam is such a creative kid. I just love seeing what his mind dreams up. This is a map of our neighborhood with a route for trick-or-treating! He and Max worked on it together before school this morning. They even included a map "legend" in which the color red outlines the route where a "grown up" is required...

 
He and Max also collaborated on this turkey project for Max's class. They cut pictures out of magazines and then glued them on the turkey. Seems pretty simple on the surface, but then I looked more closely. Liam carefully cut a portion of a picture out of his Highlights magazine to create the head and beak of the turkey. The white for the head is part of a picture of a girl's shirt and the yellow was part of a boy's shirt that Liam cut into a beak shape. That is just one piece of paper; it's not glued to look like that, he cut it in that shape himself! He then drew the blue dot for the eye...and I am speechless! I can't stop looking at it!

 
They also had various complete images cut out of magazines. I liked this glove that they glued to create a convincing tail feather...but that cigar may need to be removed before we send it off to school...!
