Now that Angel is four, though I am not an advocate of having too many enrichment classes for kids, I do like her to choose one activity that she enjoys the most. For a while, she was torn between choosing ballet or art because she loves both of them, but after putting in some serious thought, she decided to go with the latter and I can only say that it was a wise decision. Even though that means come every Thursday, the three of us would have to travel an hour to get to heART Studio and then squeeze with the working crowd on the bus to get home in the evening.
The hubby said that I was biased because since I love crafting, I was already hoping for her to choose art over dance or music. Fine, maybe a little. But, if she had insisted on giving up her art classes, I would have let her. The thing is, she has already developed a love for the place, for the class, for the teachers and you can sense her anticipation when the day for her class nears.
She now draws and paints with pride and joy and honestly, it is every mum's delight to know that their child has found a love in life and truly enjoys it. Without the hard work and dedication of the teachers at heART, this would not have been possible and I am sincerely grateful for all the good things that have come out of it. Just so you know, though Angel was kindly sponsored for the first two terms, we decided to let her continue and thus we are paying for the fees.
Check out some of her recent artwork and see if you like them.
Shapes and warm/cool colours |
Reflections and landscape painting |
Karla Gerard art: 3-D Houses |
Racing car and sunset |
Honestly, not bad for a 4-year-old, right? The racing car picture is one of my favourites and I was surprised that she was the one who actually requested to draw a sunset background and it turned out to be awesome. In my eyes, at least.
So I guess, for now, we are sticking to art for a while longer because it has really done us good and I can't wait to see my little master churning out more fantastic art pieces.
