A Picture of Sunny

Here it is!



I love this drawing. A classmate and friend of his drew it. She's very talented. I think it captures Sunny's personality in a wonderful way. The beaming smile! The feet, constantly in motion.

For Sunny, art is not his best subject. He's very imaginative, but it doesn't hold his focus. Whenever I see him doing art with other kids, he treats it like a competition, and he always yells DONE!!! first, so he can get up and run around the room for a while. I'm thinking of signing him up for structured art lessons, not so that he improves technically, but so that he can learn to find more enjoyment in expressing himself through art.

Sunny's drawing below loosely represents an illustration of a poem we talked about. It's a caravan in a desert, and they're passing each other water from the oasis. The top got truncated a bit, but it's cut-out heart with the words "Love You" written on it. He loves to write things like that.
