Pop Art meets Halloween

The art assignment in Callum's class this week, was to base their piece off the Pop Art genre (and with a Halloween theme).

Isn't this terrific!? :)

Most Original

This afternoon I hustled the boys out of the house, down to Safeway, to buy a couple of pumpkins for the pumpkin carving activity at our neighborhood Rec Center. But, we didn't like the selection, so we then raced over to the pumpkin patch and quickly picked out a couple of small pumpkins that they liked.

Then, we headed back to the neighborhood, where Callum started furiously carving away (we were very late - the carving started at 2pm, we showed up at 3:30pm and they announced there was 15 minutes left before judging! I had forgotten they were also holding a pumpkin carving contest and when Callum heard that he was all about getting in on the action!). :)

He was stressed as they kept calling the countdown out and yelling at me and Logan to stop talking (we were trying to help him with a few good ideas). But our little artist had a vision and was determined to see it through.

Behold his final work of art - The Mummy Pumpkin.

And, proudly won the "Most Original" prize of the group!! Yay Callum!!

Halloween Decorations

Just finished putting up the finishing touches (lighting) for the front. The boys love it! :)

Math/Halloween Project Update!

2 of his 3 pieces are now done.... 

Pretty proud of Logan - he's had a number of frustrating road blocks along the way but is sticking with it. 👍🏼

After school art class

He's always the slowest/last one working when I come pick him up. But he's so focused and thoughtful about his work. I think his art must be partially therapeutic for our little warrior. ❤️

Armour work

The fit needs a few tweaks but it's not horrible. Phew!

Embellishments come next! 🤪

Finally! A good lookin’ school pic of Mr. Callum!

(Logan still has to get his taken since we missed picture day a few weeks ago) :)

“Make your own costume”....

My kind of math assignment! 🤣👍🏼
