We have a huge chest full of art supplies-watercolors, pastels, modeling clay, paper, beads, yarn, printmaking materials, fabric markers, etc… Isaiah loves to open up the chest and investigate his latest find. This particular week he happened to stumble upon a container of artist’s charcoal. So far, out of all the various artistic mediums he has tried, it seems like “char” is his favorite. Lately, he has been practicing making spirals and circles with whatever he can draw with. No urging from his parents just something he chose to do. It has been a lot of fun to watch his progress even the simple things of holding a writing a utencil was something so foreign but now common for him.
