Growing Everyday

but very difficult when you do. – Edgar Degas

Beka now has art class at school and this quote makes a lot of sense now. Before she would create, paint, and draw whatever whenever. And now she still does that sometimes, but as she is learning "art" I see her losing that creativity. A fish has to look like the fish she was taught to draw. Don’t get me wrong, the drawing techniques she is learning are great. And the fish does look cool. I just miss the focus on process.

Jared still is all about the process, getting the crafts out and using as many products in one picture as possible. I know this is all about growing up and changing, lately it has all been happening too fast.
