Recently we read a book to the girls called "My Dog Is As Smelly As Dirty Socks" by Hanoch Piven. It's about a girl who is given an assignment from her teacher to draw a picture of her family. What she turned in pleased the teacher but the girl was not quite satisfied with it as she felt her stick figures did not capture the personalities of her family members. So, using found objects to specifically show her family she makes new portraits that tell us so much more. Inspired by this, the girls put together their own portraits today with some help from me on how these objects define their personality and I wanted to document what they came up with.
Sage is...
as silly as ducks...
as bright as a light bulb...
as happy as cotton balls...
as thorough as a comb...
as lovely as flowers...
and as artsy as beads.
Clare is...
filled with a big heart...
as curious as a butterfly...
as lovely as a flower...
as fun as beads...
as helpful as a bow...
and as bright as a jewel.
And both carry strings that are tied to my heart.
