Jacob's Art 2009

Yes, we have more than one artist in the family! This year Jacob has also created some amazing projects in his art class. We have decided to go ahead with another year with the same art teacher for next year. This will be the kid's third year, but it has been such a wonderful blessing to have someone else teach them what I cannot.A watercolor frog - I LOVE the colors of this one!!!

This one was done with chalk, NOT Jacob's favorite medium... but the finished product is amazing.

This was Jacob's project for the history fair - the life and works of J.R.R. Tolkein. It was fantastic, and he was able to include a sword he has from middle earth. He and Danny worked hard to actually build the case that this is displayed in. I must admit that the sword was a hit at the history fair - especially with boys! He always had someone crowded around his display with questions about the sword! Someday I will post a picture of the sword collection that my boys have; it is so extensive that they have an entire room (meant to be a closet) dedicated for nothing but displaying their swords. Very cool.

This is a video that Jacob, with all his creative talent, made for me this year as well. I can hardly watch it without tears each time, it has so much of the kids when they were little...
