Journey to Candy Land

 Lately the children have been making wonderful line drawings with markers at the art easel.  It is amazing how drastically a different medium can change how children create.  The children seemed to delight in creating elaborate drawings with markers.  As much as they love the paints painting doesn't seem to lend itself to detail like markers.

I was very intrigued by the side by side drawing that these two girls were working on this week.  They spent a great deal of time on these drawings that they call “Candy land”  If you look closely at “G”'s drawing you can see her Grandmother at the top of Candy land blowing bubbles with bubblegum.  I loved the process that these girls went through to create their pictures because they talked about it, they collaborated but they still had very unique drawings and I could clearly see each child's idea of what “Candy land” would be like. 

 K” was also working very hard at the easel that day and here I managed to zoom in on his picture of a “Boy playing the piano.”

Ms. Misook had her portrait drawn by “A”  Notice the matching shirts!
