Lately Luke has been consumed with art. He uses many mediums: chalk, markers, crayons, paint. And many canvases: sidewalk, paper, carpet (boo hoo).
A friend suggested that his burgeoning motor skills are the reason, and I agree. But he also has passion for drawing, which I hope he retains, because although I am crafty, artistic I am not. And ,well, Scott's art skills are limited to drawing routes and doodling plays in one of his five hundred and thirty spiral football notebooks.
Luke's #1 favorite thing to draw is Wall E. But, he also enjoys sketching rabbits, ghosts, spiders, skeletons, pirate ships, puppies, Indiana Jones, caves, reindeer, bats, and snowmen. He also really, really, really likes to write his name.
Tomorrow we are headed to LA County Museum of Modern Art- they are supposed to have a fantastic kids program, and the museum is free for everyone when you bring a child! If Luke is so inspired, I plan on having an Art Show at our house, complete with highlights from his collection, appetizers, and beverages served in champagne glasses. Hopefully some of you out there will make it to his art show, feeling free to take one of his masterpieces home with you. I have pictures of bunnies and Wall E coming out of my ears.

You are not artistic? Hogwash!! Living room talent shows. (Enough said.)
I think that Luke should do a demonstration at his "showing." Buy him a painter outfit (white lab coat, crooked hat and pencil moustache) and and easel, and have him illustrate the crazy bunny technique.
Ok, Cuz, you have got to check out Family Fun Magazine's October issue. They have a great section on kid's art and ways to display it...perfect for Luke's art show!
how was the museum? I know a guy who helped build the LACMA. i also remember your attempts at art quite well. they weren't THAT bad :)
