This girl is hilarious!

Faith loves building things with lego, and last week when she had a sick day at home she built a big city out of Shiloh's Mega Blocks for him to play with.

Her creative mind didn't stop there though. Minutes after the 'city' was built, she started giving directions to both Mum and Shiloh, turning the whole game into a movie making session. As always, she was very specific about what was to happen, and I was sworn to secrecy until the finished movie was posted on her blog.

So here it is - enjoy!

Photo Challenge - Day 20 - Something I Drew

Create

I believe that all of us are born to create.

Faith seems to understand this better than anyone.

Give her some paper, pens, stickers, glue, ribbon, anything really...

...and she will create something beautiful and new.

She has a passion and a flair for anything artistic.

It’s beautiful just to watch her get creative.

It’s inspiring to see her make something lovely out of the simplest of materials.

So we’ve decided we need to keep her arts and craft supplies well-stocked.

Because we all were born to create.

And Faith seems to understand this better than anyone.

Fun with Art

Faith is really into her art at the moment. She’s always had a bit of a flair for it. You can give her some bits of paper and a glue stick and she will right away see something amazing and beautiful that she could turn it into. Lately though, she’s been experimenting with drawing in some different styles than anything she’s done before. She had a relieving teacher who taught them for a day and he was pretty good at drawing and showed the class some new drawing techniques. Faith took to it straight away, and after playing around with styles and colours, she made this drawing of a summer/autumn tree.

When her teacher came back and saw their amazing creations, she decided to continue teaching them some more drawing techniques. Every night, sitting in front of the TV, Faith’s been sitting quietly with paper and pencil and playing around with shading and colours and creating something beautiful and new. It’s fascinating to watch her.
