Interpretive Art Lessons

Yogurt is the most exciting part of lunch time at our home.  Lucky is the child who finishes first and can go get a yogurt cup from the fridge for everyone at the table - usually this allows them to select for themselves the ultimate favourite flavour - Strawberry.  You would think this would be a great incentive to eat faster, but they usually forget about that reward until the first person is finished.  Yogurt time also includes an Interpretive Art lesson, as we examine and discuss everyone's yogurt lids.  Here are some of the artworks we have scrutinized:

Map of the USA
 Pi  ( π )
 A Triangle on the Moon
 Frog Legs
Grumpy Fish-Shark
Two Birds Flying
 Seagull Pooping
 Duck in the Sun
 Dog Wearing a Party Hat
 Chicken
 Barn on a Hill
 Beaver Looking Over His Shoulder
 Dinosaur in the Sun

Oh the places you'll go(fridge) and the things that you'll see (mind's eye). Early art training at it's best. I do not remember this being included in Art 101. mom

I love this!! I am going to challenge some 3/4 kids tomorrow morning and see if they can find anything fun. :)

Wow - did you draw those right-side pictures?! They're wonderfully cute! You should probably illustrate children's books. Your kids could come up with some wonderful stories and you could do the pictures :)
