....une toile, de la gouache, des petits bouts de tissu, de laine et de papier, de la colle et surtout...surtout, beaucoup d'amour... et Hop! voilà...un petit cadeau!
Pardon my French, but I've just had a great day in my daughter's Grade 3 class -- mais si, only speaking French -- with a bunch of budding artists?!...Let me explain: firstly, my children attend French school so they're only supposed to speak French when at school and, secondly, my daughter's teacher kindly asked me if I could come up with a Mother's Day project with "plants" as a theme. So, with botanical prints and collages on my brain, I got the children to paint little stretched canvases and then re-create their plants of choice with bits of fabric, paper, wool and glue...lots of glue!
And again, the children amazed me with all their original and very different ideas and bubbly enthusiasm -- aren't their little masterpieces a pure delight!! I'm betting all their mamans will be thrilled on Sunday when they're presented with these little botanical gifts! And, I hope all of you, Mamans chéries who happen upon this post, will be showered with lots of love on Sunday -- Happy Mother's Day!
Ces enfants sont si chanceuses d'avoir Toi pour les aider avec les projets d'Art! You're right that the kids are so creative. They're pretty amazing, huh?
Merci pour les lilas, qui sont mes fleurs favoris :)
