"Farm" by Lily

"Farm" for Illustration Friday
by Lily, Age 3

This is Lily's first Ill'Fri' entry, and I'm wowed - did I mention she's 3? This is a farmer, a girl, a duck, and an ear of corn. I'm especially impressed by the green "dialog balloons" (Lily will have to translate...) and the horizon lines behind the figures. Horizon Lines?! Did I mention she's 3?

"Safe" by Gracie

"Safe" for Illustration Friday
by Gracie, age 6

When presented with the word "safe," Gracie thought of animals that stay safe through camouflage. This chameleon is safely camouflaged, enabling it to catch a fly. Its camouflage also protects it from that hawk. Since the hawk can't find the chameleon, it's settling for those ants instead. I think the ants know this because if you look close, they are praying.

Elephant

I was really impressed with this picture of an elephant that Lily - age 3 - did from memory. She had seen a national geographic show with elephants a few days earlier. Did I mention she's 3? Amazing how she drew the tusks. (And the five legs...)

Isaac's idea for "safe." The guy in the tower looks pretty safe to me! Not so sure about the poor chap in the cage....
