Logan went to three year old nursery school this year and loved the art he did with his teachers and friends.  
He asked Grandmaman to take pictures of his art and make a slideshow. 
 Here is  
"A Year of Logan's Art".  
Logan loves being an artist.

Polar Bears/ Les ours polaires

Reegan and Grandmaman
Reegan and Grandmaman painted a polar bear walking on a bright polar icescape.   Reegan is three.  We learned that polar bear's fur has yellow in it. 
We learned how to paint the paper first with water from left to right, just like when we read and write. 


  We learned how to make marks with wax and when we painted the paint didn't stay where the wax was. 
We learned that hair dryers are noisy but can help make the paint dry faster.

Ethan painted Northern Lights in the background of his Arctic icescape.  He added claws and facial features with a sharpie and painted shadows under the polar bear's paws to ground him.

Windmills

Ethan, Tristan and Reegan had fun painting windmills and tulips.  I think one day they would like to go to Holland and see the windmills there.   Click on the words below to see-

There are windmill farms in Southern Alberta.  They take the energy from the wind and turn it into energy we can use.
Tristan had fun making a model windmill at the Telus Spark Science Center.
