evolution

kalei is an amazing girl and she loves art. she has never, not once, said that she "can't" draw anything. if she wants to draw something, she'll at least try to draw it. so, when koa kept asking me to draw things for him and, when i suggested he try to do it himself, he would reply that he "can't," i was a teeny bit concerned. however, he has slowly progressed from dots and lines to this:
the picture above is koa jumping (kalei wrote his name for him). this next picture is a bunch of people dancing. you can still see the dots he likes to poke onto the paper, and i love his use of space!
this bottom one is a door hanger that kalei made for kawelo. it's kawelo (in his diaper) thinking about koa (in the heart).
can't you just feel the love? she sets such a great example for her little brothers!

I love looking at drawings and other art work that kids have done. They just go to town not thinking about whether it will "look" right when it's finished. Whatever the end product it, that's how they meant to do it! Your kids did a great job!

Just stopping in to say hi! I love how this blogging thing has helped me find old friends again! Cute kids, and quite artistic too.

I LOVE the drawing Kalei made for Kawelo. It is so cute! I especially love how she drew in little pockets on the pants. :)
