does art school teach what life made you forget?

#2 son brought home some art projects from school... There are people paying art schools big $ to learn skills that humans are obviously born with. It's life that beats the natural art instinct down. Ok, so that's all too heavy for you (you probably haven't looked up the tuition cost of an "Art School" recently).

here are the pretty pictures, from a 6 y.o.

#1 son drew the pic below in his spare time at school. A classmate scribbled across the whole page, and I managed to mention I could probably repair the drawing in photoshop... and after over an hour of getting the scanner driver installed... I did what I said I would. He expected it to be done yesterday... Here ya go, "Seeenor Cat"

I especially like the "Harbaal"

Fall Festival season also included #1 son performing with the beginner orchestra at HCMS, he plays viola. Not bad given the fact he'd only started the Viola less than nine weeks ago! My favorite part of this clip below, his foot. Notice about half way into it he starts tapping (stomping) out the beat. Nobody else feels the urge so strongly, that's the drummer in him.  They sounded really good. Mrs Horvitz does a great job with those kids.
