Kid painting project worthy of framing.....


This blog will be pretty unthemed....I tend to go through old online albums and find pictures to comment on. Most of my photos are garden related, so it will be more of a challenge to find and comment on pics that aren't. Here is one from a two-year-old Webshots album. I got this idea from a magazine I think. The idea was to have available a copy of a picture by a "real artist", then have a child make a copy of it. Then frame the results and hang side by side. I had a copy of a Miro poster (blue background), and had my two grandchildren---- ages 11 and 8 then---- copy the poster. Haley, the 8-year-old, painted hers with a pink background, Kyle, age 11 then, painted a brown background. I'm thinking of trying this idea again if I can get the kids to go along with it......
