Art

I took the boys to an art class Saturday morning a week ago. They weren't too excited, especially Tuomas who is hyper-critical about his work and usually refuses to do anything since he knows that it will never look perfect or at least the way he wants it to look. But they don't do much art at school nor at home, and I want them to try to do something artsy and creative.

A wonderful couple take turns in teaching the kids and this time the theme was to make musical instruments of colored paper. Once Tuomas got the hang of it he said he enjoyed it.

This week's Saturday I took the very reluctant two younger boys to class again to paint a picture of penguins. Again a very difficult start for Tuomas, but again he said that he quite enjoyed it. Go figure!! We left the penguins there to dry, so I'll post a picture later.
