I've mentioned several times how my daughter loves to create. She loves being called an artist and working on her art. That being said, we have art work everywhere! We have art from church, Bible study, home and art that friends have given her.
My first plan was this - I gave her a box and said if she wanted to keep the art, it had to go in the box. Then, at the end of each month or two, we would go through the box together and pick out the 5 pieces we liked the best to keep. She got to pick 5 and I got to pick 5 (because sometimes her 5 were not the best, in my opinion).
Recently, we went about 5 months before sorting through the box. This time I told her that the ones she picked had to be super special to her or show her best art work. Well, I was getting a little frustrated at the fact that she wanted to keep pieces that had 2 squiggly lines on it. I know I shouldn't judge what an "artist" considers her best, but I was like, "really, you want to keep that one?"
So, I chose a plan B, I decided to take a picture of all the art work and then put it all in file 13. Lilly was okay with this only because I let her take the pictures - most of them. Here are some samples of her artwork. :)
