After cleaning up - when all the others were heading home - he said, "Momma, let's go explore. Maybe we can find more sculptures like last week."
We set out exploring the rooms of the art center (that was a house built ~1920.) The first room had a miniture doll house, complete with hand made furnishing. Thankfully he wasn't that interested because he couldn't touch (read: break) anything.
Then we found this room. Click on the picture to enlarge it to see all the odds and ends.
I was thankful to be finished inside and make our way to the courtyard. Hopefully we wouldn't break or destroy anything out here.
Not sure if the artist's intention was to memoralize the Iraqi purple finger, but that's what this one reminded me of.

This hand was made of ceramic. Shortly after I took this picture Mr. Intensity jumped on the back of the hand (think piggy-back). The thing started rocking and all I could think of was, "I'm in big trouble. We need to get out of here - fast!" Thankfully the sculpture was unscathed. Whew.
I wish I could remember what he said when he sat in this one. It wasn't related to my thought...that it looked like he was sitting on a toilet. :)
Speaking of toilets - yesterday at the park, another mom said to me, "Um, could you go talk to John Isaac? He has his pants down in front of my daughter." YIKES!! When I went over to him (he was sitting in the sand with pants at his ankles) he said, "Mom, I'm just trying to toot." After he pulled up his pants he said, "I've got sand in my butt-crack...like where the poop comes out." All I could do was laugh. Then, I tried to help get the sand out.

Laughing out loud at the end...
I love the different materials the art teacher had to use while painting. Very fun.
Wow, that's classic! My husband and I often wonder what we ever laughed about before we had Tatum :)
I love it when they surprise you... It looks like he was totally engaged in his art. Wonderful! Sounds like his teacher knows a thing or two about doing art with kids!
