It's finally here! The chance, today and tomorrow, for you to show off you and your child(ren)s artwork. I have already seen one and can't wait to see more.
Our family artist is Elijah. Currently his medium is colored pencils and clay (not counting the lovely creations smooshed in our carpet.) I love to watch him work with these and see the awesome ideas he comes up with. As I am in no way an artist, it never ceases to amaze me the creativity he has.
That being said, here are a couple of items he has made out of clay. Right now? He is going to be decorating a cake...I'll post pics tomorrow.

Remember, our definition of art is very broad and there is no limit to your number of entries.
Kids might feature... a drawing, painting, or sidewalk chalk creation, a video of themselves explaining a piece of artwork, singing, or playing a musical instrument, something they created in the kitchen, or an example of their writing, e.g., short story, poem, etc.
Adults could highlight... a drawing, painting, or a video, something you created on the computer or in the kitchen, an example of your writing, e.g., short story, poem, etc., a sample of your scrapbooking, or art that you created as a child.
We hope you will join us!

Oh...and I already follow your blog.
I'm joining the We Heart Art movement, and have an "artsy" post up today!

Wow, Sara, you have a little budding artist on your hands! Those are some seriously talented clay sculptures!!
One of these days I may just post those bare butt pics! Just to embarrass them someday!
Thanks for hosting this wonderful carnival... art is a true passion around these parts, and I'm so glad to see that we're not alone!

Go Art!

I'm taking pictures for my post right now! It will be ready soon! I PROMISE! By the end of the day!
Wow, I thought that I already followed you, but I guess not. Good thing you held this contest so that I would catch that silly mistake!
Love the claymation. Especially the "dead" angel. He's really good!
The detail in that photo is all from the lens, not the camera. The nature of a macro lens is that you have to be nearly touching your subject to get it in focus, but it magnifies everything and gets all the little details.
Of course I forgot to answer your Q (I'm a ditz it appears). I currently shoot with a Nikon D80- though if I had my druthers, I would have gotten a D90.
This is a really neat thing you guys are doing! Thanks for the opportunity!
P.S. I follow you now!
My kids love to create with play dough, we have not gotten into clay. Mmm, maybe we should.
This is a very awesome carnival. Thanks for host.
I'm going to put up two posts tomorrow just so I can participate. I love this idea.
You have a very gifted artist!

Found you through Juls! Happy to jump on the We Heart Art bandwagon!
Your son is pretty talented. I'm not much of an artist either.
Hey, mine is up. Be aware, no kid crafts!
Glad you explained the 'angel.' Can you tell me what the giant blue/green blob thing is up in the right hand corner? The rest are pretty easy to tell!
This was SOOOO much fun!!
Thanks for doing this....I have to say honestly, I dont even know what kind of camera I have...its terrible and won't upload anything to my computer.
Those creations are great! A much better job than I can do.
I'm putting you in my feed reader now. :)
OK I "entered" but as you'll see my entry doesn't quite fit the criteria but I though people would be interested!
Creative sculptures.
Happy to be your follower! This is so fun, thanks for all your hard work.
Hi, Following your blog! Nice to meet you!
Sara, and anyone else curious on how to make the "stained glass windows"
Directions:
The frames I got at the dollar store! I got the "Gallery Glass window colors" at the craft store, they have the black leading to, and the transparent colors...
Browse the net for coloring pages, the simpler the better..... print those off "to fill the page size"
I put them like you'd put the picture and "Traced" the "lines" last night.... so they'd be dry today!
Squeeze the colors in the areas the kids want, and let them use skewers to "paint" the colors....
Let them dry, take off the back and the Paper picture and you'll have your "stained glass window" :)
The girls handprints i did the same, i just outlined their hands and put their hand prints behind the glass and drew the stems freehand!
I wanted to add, i just added the "done" pics..... with them dried! I couldnt get them to rotate off the external hd though GRRR!
Holy crow, those are a lot of entries. Oh, and don't think I am not waiting for pics of the cake, cause I am.
What a fun blog carnival! I love seeing everyone's art projects!
Ha! I love his little artwork!
