Art

Ella loves art... she's always looking for things to color, cut, glue, draw, or paint. Her face simply lights up when I suggest that we do crafts (which it's not that often, unfortunately for her I should say.... but thank goodness for those awesome teachers at school who do arts galore with them!)

The thing with her is that she's not only attracted to creating new things, but also has this nack for finding meaning and form, or some sort of artistic expression in her surroundings. A few days ago "she caught" the moon, like this:


This next one is from last year but it still amazes me (she made a heart out of two potato chips), like this:


Last year we had the opportunity to see an amazing Dale Chihuly outdoor exhibit and she was swept off her feet by the beauty of those pieces, as well as the creative process involved. We caught a small glimpse of it when watching a video of Chihuly's team at work. It was breath-taking. The exhibit included other pieces as well from world renowed artists.


Some more art, this time "home/school-made":

  1. Cat de frumos!!! Intr-adevar e foarte creativa! Si eu sunt la fel, din pacate, nu prea ii las sa 'faca arta' acasa. Dar din fericire la scoala au multe ocazii de a se exprima print arta. :-)

  2. Ce scumpa e. Si pozele alea cu arta din sticla sunt asa frumoase. Am avut un multicultural night la stake si Daci nu s-a dezlipit de masa de crafts. Se pare ca nici eu nu ii ofer asta pe cat vrea el acasa.

  3. Si eu iubesc arta! Printesa ta este tare creativa de la o varsta atat de frageda, dar asa am inceput si eu. Ma bucur ca are asa de multe oportunitati to enjoy art:)

  4. Sunt foarte de acord cu comentariile fetelor de mai sus :) Ella nu e doar frumoasa, e desteapta si creativa si cred ca asta o va ajuta mult in viitorul ei si in cariera pe care si-o va alege.

  5. Sunteti tare dragute, dragele mele! Merci mult pentru comentarii. Copiii sunt intr-adevar cea mai mare bucurie a noastra si orice fac si spun reprezinta comori pt noi. And on a funny note: I wish I paid more attention during my "lucru manual" classes in RO... Now I would have been more crafty for sure! :-D
