For Christmas David and I got Scratch Art. Because of its details, it was more of a challenge than any other scratch art we have ever tried to do. That was the sea horse and the fish. 

David also had another kind of scratch art that he got for his birthday. You could make any picture you wanted. I did the sunset and the island and David did the dolphin. We try to make our art work reflect God’s creation accurately. It was a exciting project to do together. Fun things like this are great ways to build relationships with younger siblings.

My brother Donald has been giving art lessons at weekly home school meetings. I have always wanted to be an artist, but I never really took it seriously until Mom bought art pencils and a kneaded eraser for me. I am a lot better than I used to be, but I am not the best yet. I especially love learning to draw animals.

 Right now he is teaching us to draw something alive and moving. However, he said it would be best if we did not draw our own pet. It has been hard to find something that is alive and stays still long enough to draw besides our dog Sentrina. Jonathan, Mom, and I went down to a lake where we saw ducks before, but we did not see anything. I think I will just have to draw some birds from our feeder. Josh (one of my friends at the meeting), brought his pet duck and we had to draw it. It was hard to draw. I did not do very good, but my brother Daniel did.

These are some of the pictures I have been drawing recently:
