(I could have sworn I already posted this!)

My youngest son's favorite bedtime story is Goldilocks and the Three Bears, so when it came time to renew our art prompt challenge, I suggested we each illustrate a scene from the story. We decided to do collages with freehand-cutting. The youngest was very excited until I told him that he actually had to "re-do" his preliminary drawing with cut paper. At that point, he lost interest and just copycatted his brother's design. 😂

So the finished artwork, from the youngest's to the oldest's--the "oldest's" meaning mine, since my husband is giving a pass on doing the challenge this time around. He says he has too much to do what with surfing, pottery, knife-making, spearfishing, oh, and work.😝

My daughter (her art is above) fell completely in love with this method of art making, and I think she did such a fabulous job. I can easily see this as a book illustration. Of course she is the oldest by 3.5 years, so I am not comparing her work to her brothers', more commenting on how much she fell in love with the process and result when she never suspected she could like it so much. Similar to the way I feel about pottery after spending decades thinking I couldn't sculpt or make 3D art.
