Grey is not exactly an attractive colour but Sophie actually likes it. She always picks grey to draw and paint.
Suddenly, she asked for paper and started painting on it with the leftover paint. Although I was reluctant, I still let her do her painting. After all, she seldom does open-ended painting these days.
I felt that this seemed a little lame because I had very few pieces of golden paper for her to work with. I think I might have to think of something else to add on later on.
Sophie seemed to have progressed a lot since the first time we did art together. Now she could control her painting better and she understood how to keep her paint without the letter. However, she does not always want to do just that.
Sometimes, I thnk Sophie would do very well if she just listens and try harder at staying focus. She is definitely a fast learner but she cannot be taught deliberately (at least not when she feels she is being taught). She has to perceive it as "play" and given space to explore freely.
Sophie said she was a baker because squeezing glitter glue out from its tube was like how a baker decorates a cake.
Alright, so I cheated. I cut up green and yellow paper and pretended it was grass. I could not possibly use real grass without getting myself fined, right? Anyway, this was equally messy and Sophie was not too thrilled to get her fingers all sticky.
I thnk it looked like grass from far so I am happy enough. Anyway, Sophie could understand that we were trying to create "grass".
