On Friday I dropped the boys off at The Art Attic for a painting class. The Art Attic is one of those places that usually offers classes for adults where everyone paints the same picture while enjoying a drink with friends. Occasionally they offer a class for kids (as well as do birthday parties for kids). I was thinking this would be perfect for Carter's next birthday party since he loves art (he even says he wants to be an artist when he grows up) but wanted to try it out first. I intended to just drop him off but once I got there, the class was only 2 other boys. Ms. Shannon said one person pulled out last minute so she had an extra canvas if Rylan would like to stay and paint too. I misunderstood and took this to mean Rylan would be free or cheap (just the cost of supplies). I was wrong and ended up paying $25 for each boy when I picked them up 1 1/2 hours later. Oh well.
Both boys thoroughly enjoyed painting and both said they want their birthday parties there. Ms. Shannon did a pencil outline of the frog and mushroom on the canvas and the kids did the rest.
Considering Rylan still often scribbles when coloring, I thought he did a great job.
Carter did a great job too!
The paintings are in the boys' rooms. But Rylan hates when anything is staring at him at night (he hides his Ninja Turtle piggy bank under his bed) so I had to take it out last night. I'm sure I'll have to do the same tonight :)
