Gavin had two pieces on display. The first masterpiece was something he created entirely on his own during free time at school using materials available at the arts and crafts table. The typed verbatims are descriptions of each "scene" that he provided to his teachers. In case it's too difficult to read, here are Gavin's descriptions:
Purple framed drawing: "Ryan and me are jumping out of my airplane."
Connecting tape: "The tape is a hook. It's hooking up to Daddy."
Green framed drawing: "Daddy is falling out of his airplane. Me and Ryan grabbed him and put him back in his airplane and he said, 'Thank you, Ryan and Gavin.'"
Pink framed drawing: "Mommy's airplane."
While the teachers raved about his creativity and ability to tell a story through his artwork, I was equally grateful that I didn't fall out of an airplane and horrified that Ryan, Gavin, and Mike did!
His second masterpiece was a photograph. The class was shown how to use a camera. Then each student got to pick an object to photograph. Gavin chose a bench on the playground. (He insists it is a train, but I'm not seeing it.) He centered the object in the frame, focused the camera, and took the picture.
Whether we have a future artist, storyteller, sky diver, or photographer on our hands, we're super proud of him! (Although Mommy would prefer you not jump out of airplanes, Gavin!)
