Art and Catupult

We have been having a lot of fun recently with Andrew as he is earning his scouting Arrow of Light. He has gotten to do a lot of fun stuff, and we have had a lot of fun with him. One thing he got to do was make some different types of art. He used some stuff he made at school, something he made at a friend's house, and some stuff he just did at home. 

This is some "splatter art," a la Jackson Pollock, which he made at his friend's house. It is appropriately named "Splat."

 This is a flag drawn with markers. The title is "Old Glory."

 This is a crayon-resist called "The Fish."

 Profile of me. (Ask Andrew how a profile picture is made-he is now an expert!) I don't think it has a title.

 This is "The Rainbow Fish." You have to love the bubbles! :)

 A beautiful sunrise on a nice beach (I want to go swimming now...fishies and beaches...summer...ahhh...)

 "Bull's Eye" (I don't really know what this one is, but I like the colors he chose..)

I think this is King Tut or something. I love the gold paint and the hieroglyphics. (This isn't a very good photograph of the picture, because of bad lighting-it's hanging up in our house and if you come over you will be able to see it better.)

So, that's some of Andrew's art! Now, we will move onto another fun scouting thingy: a CATAPULT!

In theory, the catapult shoots marshmallows. Well, it turned out that we have no marshmallows. So we made do with cotton balls, milk bottle caps, and in one instance, a glove. (You will understand when you watch the video.)

So this is a video, fantastically narrated by me, of the catapult in action. We also took a few photos of Mom and Andrew building the catapult.

 A cute picture of Mom, Samuel, and Andrew next to the finished product.

 Working on it...

Well, we had a fun time with Andrew-and if you ever need somebody to assault your enemies with cotton balls, we're ready to help! :)
