We have hands!

Okay, no photo of Ellie today. I forgot my camera in the car. But I will share some of her latest art, where you can see her understanding on anatomy is developing, mostly in the area of giving her people fingers (we may be cartoon characters with three fingers, but at least there are fingers.

These are two drawings of girls she did at school. The eyes are a little creepy, and don't leave room for mouths, but there are hands. And they are a little more proportional than she had been doing.

This next work of art involves two mediums, stickers and crayons and is a very interesting scene.

Ellie actually visualized what she wanted this scene to look like. For sleeping in her bed she had earned a sheet of "magic garden" stickers. She knew she wanted to use a unicorn, but unicorns need to stand on the ground. So she started by drawing grass. Then of course you need a sky! Then she put the unicorn on the page. She then added the ladybug, which she circled because it was digging. Then next came the two tulips...growing from the ground. She then decided that bees should be in the scene, and added one at the flower and the other riding the unicorn. Its a "magic garden" remember? Then, she wanted to add people. She she first drew Rapunzel (with hands) and put flowers in her hand, because she was going to get married. Then she started to draw Flynn Rider (Ralunzel's love interest from the movie Tangled), but she got distracted and didn't finish that drawing. And of course its plausible that they would be getting married floating through the air, did you not understand this is a "magic garden"? And of couse, Ellie signed her drawing with an "E".

She was very proud of this piece of artwork, as were we. So its on our refrigerator.
