I went to Johnny's art show at school this morning and saw all his work. Here is a picture of him with his Matisse-inspired paper collage. The name of the piece is "First Sign 101." (He is suddenly obsessed with putting numbers after names. He was reeling off a list of things he was going to name the next Webkinz he gets and every name had some number after it. *shrug*)

Here is his tribute to Georgia O'Keefe:

All told, it was a very good show. The kids worked hard, and learned lots, as evidenced by JZ regaling me, countless times, with the list of artists they'd studied (which included one guy I'd never even heard of before). Who knows; maybe we have the next Picasso on our hands, here, and some day in the future we can look back and say, "Ah, yes, it all started with that preschool art show." Or maybe he'll just be one of those inmates that does really good drawings on the backs of the envelopes he sends to his family members, asking for money. Dude could go either way.
