I'm curious about two things, Charlie. Was there a specific technique or assignment that shaped your piece? Also, what inspired you? Stained glass?

Charlie, I love this piece! The lines are reminiscent of water flowing, and the colors are quite soothing. I also like that you left some space bare. love, Mom

Hi Charlie – I like the interlocking shapes you have drawn and colored. This artwork has a fluid movement which is calming along with the colors you chose. It brightens my day. Love, Grandma

When I was a boy, having a pool table was a long standing dream, so I understand the priority you give to a big space user. And a private elevator...who wouldn't love that? I think you find cardboard to be a versatile medium.

Charlie, I love that you're able to continue 3-D building in art, something you have always enjoyed. I think your engineering is improving, because you use less tape :) I'm curious aobut the Q-tips and cotton balls. love, Mom

Hi Charlie – I admire how creative you are using cardboard and other materials. This room looks like there are a lot of possibilities for fun activities. Good job. Love, Grandma

Your mechanically-minded grandfather will ask you next time we speak to explain the operating principles of this interesting gizmo.

Charlie, I continue to be impressed by the 3-D items you create, with so much detail! love, Mom

Hi Charlie – You have always been so imaginative and able to create 3-dimensional objects out of everyday materials. Good job. Love, Grandma

That is one fierce looking Viking that you’ve drawn,Charlie. The jutting chin makes it work.

Hi Charlie – I am impressed by how carefully you have drawn and painted these logos. I’m glad you enjoy creating. Love, Grandma

Charlie, I love how you incorporated all the detail of these logos. The Texans star in the blue part must have been tricky! love, Mom

I notice that you succeeded in creating perspective: the two orange walls meet and the ceiling and texture of the orange helps show them as two. Well done. One question. What time is the party or has everyone left?

Charlie, I like how you handled the perspective of the two walls meeting, which is further accented by the ceiling. Good yes, well done. And I agree with Grandma about the color. Very vibrant. My only question is when does the party start, when are the people showing up!?!

Charlie, I love all the brightly colored and highly detailed elements in this room. I would love to spend some time here. love, Mom

Hi Charlie – What a wonderful, colorful space you have created for a party. I like the repetition of stripes and squares that you have included and all those colors are happy. Love, Grandma

Charlie, I love that you made a NICE house and decorated it for Christmas. You continue to impress me with the structures you build from cardboard and tape. love, Mom

I’m not sure what the black yarn signifies, but I like the tall chimney, which is very important in the holidays!

Charlie, I really enjoy all the colors you used and am impressed that you kept them all distinct. I hope this was a fun piece to create! love, Mom

Hi Charlie – It looks like you had fun creating this artwork. How did you choose your colors? I like that this is so colorful and the squiggles look like they’re dancing because they go in all different directions. Love, Grandma

It’s important to find calm and peace in a busy and turbulent world!

Hi Charlie – Is this a collage that you have created? It certainly has a strong theme. How did you choose race cars? I like that the colors you chose draw my eyes to all the pictures. Love, Grandma

Charlie, This is a wonderful rendering of the Empire State Building and such a creative use of materials. love, Mom

Charlie, You have a lot of experience mixing paint at home, so I hope it was fun mixing with pastels. love, Mom

Your colors are appetizing, Charlie!

Charlie, I love this drawing because I LOVE dessert. Mom

Hi Charlie – I like that you have drawn so many choices for dessert. Yummy! Love, Grandma

Hi Charlie – I am intrigued by your drawings because they are so intricate and I want to figure out what is happening in them and what inspired you to draw them. Good job. Love, Grandma

I understand the "Begin!" drawing but not the "Born!" I will have to see a close up of the original to better understand what it means. I'm curious where the idea for these came from.

Charlie, I love that there is always so much detail in your drawings. I'm very curious what inspired your robots. love, Mom

Charlie, does your piece have a name or title?

Hi Charlie – I am impressed by your ability to create three dimensional objects by using mostly paper and cardboard and tape. Good job. Love, Grandma

Charlie, I'm curious what inspired this work and what you call it.

This set it neat! Was it inspired by your class play? love, Mom

Charlie, I love this structure! You have always enjoyed creating in 3-D, with lots of tape! love, Mom
