This week, Carmen took a four-day class called Adventures in Art where she learned how to paint using different kinds of paint, styles and subjects.

These are some of the paintings and drawings she completed over the course of the week:









Gabriel was supposed to go to a Lego class the same week, but it was canceled because they didn't have enough kids signed up. I should have had him join the art class, but when we took Carmen in the first day, it was a room full of girls, so I think that scared him off.

Soon, however, Carmen was teaching Gabriel how to use the oil pastels Aunt Gabi sent a couple of years ago for Carmen's birthday. (Because they require adult supervision, like lots of art supplies at our house, they live on top of the refrigerator.)

So Carmen drew this

while Gabe drew this

and Paloma drew this


I'm so glad all of them enjoy making art!
