Sharpening our Senses

10/4/2013

"The world is full of magic things
patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper."

- WB Yeats
When we stop to observe what is in front of us - taking time to study it so that we can capture it on paper - we are sharpening our senses. We discover what we would normally pass by.
Our appreciation grows for the 'magic' that surrounds us.

My 1st through 5th grade students rose to the challenge of drawing from life. It can be easier to draw from a photo. The view is cropped for us and what is 3-dimensional has already been translated to a 2-dimensional image. The landscape (a view from my backyard) was especially challenging - but SO good for stretching our observational skills!

    Continually stunned and amazed by the messages of hope I discover growing out of the dirt -
    I am intrigued, so I keep on digging... and discovering.
