I like the paper mosaic that you recently designed in art class. The colors that you chose and their placement is perfect. Maybe I’ll use it for new notecards.

This makes me feel happy vibes.

Nice work. I like the proportions and contrast.

This is oh so clever of you.

Love your design in relief! You did such a precise job of folding each piece. The end result reminds me of a stained glass window in 3-D. XO,Mimi

I’m impressed by how professional your art is.

Making an op-art piece is challenging but you did a great job. I especially like the addition of the black squares. It’s even more interesting! Mimi

Lovely crayon rubbing of a still-life. Did you make up the still-life in your head or did the art teacher arrange one for the class? Mimi

Sculpting with paper is fun! Great job, Ezra! Mimi

Sculpting with paper is fun! Great job, Ezra! Mimi

Love how you used rubbings for texture in this winter scene.

What a surprise when I enlarged your fish print! You made different textures on paper and then cut fish scales out of them to create your fish. The cut paper additions really add to the special details along with the stencil prints in the background. I know that Oompah wishes he was catching some of these on his fishing trip this week. xo, Mimi

I've got a title for this piece..."Bugs on Baseball" Great work in all the detailed drawing. Mimi

I can't wait to show this fish to Oompah. What a great fish sculpture! I'm sure that I have seen one that looks just like this while snorkeling in the Caribbean. xo, Mimi

I see that you put your artwork in a "snowglobe". Did you know that aunt Ginny has a huge collection of them?

This is so festive. I especially like the pattern the poinsettias make.

I like the tie especially. This is so cute.

Ezra- Is that supposed to be an older you or Oompah? Ha, Ha! love, Mimi

Ezra- The pumpkin patch that you created is beautiful! I love how you tucked some pumpkins behind others. Was this a pastel drawing?xo, Mimi

Looks like you're scared out of your mind! Those different lines must be brain waves. Who's the rabbit? Mimi

Aren't texture rubbings fun to make? I love how you put one of the mice on the elephant's nose!

Aren't rubbings fun to make? One question...why is one of your eyes open?

Ezra- I'm so glad that you are learning about tints in colors. Have you also learned about "values" of colors? When I was in college, taking one of my art ed classes, we had to do a project that had 50 tints and 50 values of a color! It's a good way to learn about color. Thanks for sharing. Mimi

Ezra- I always love to use more than one medium for pictures. It makes them even more interesting. It looks like you stenciled the snowman shape and then added "accessories" for a collage look. So cute!

I wrote a comment but it must be in the cloud somewhere. I love the perspective from which you drew your face. Is it a chalk drawing?

WOW! I love the colors and arrangement that you chose. It looks like you first created a leaf shape, cut it out on folded paper, printed it in different colors, then accented it with black lines. Am I right?

I can't wait to show your drawing/painting to Izzy. She is crazy about cats! I love how you detailed your cat with different lines and colors. It's almost like a "quilted cat". xo, Mimi

Love the book, RAINBOW FISH! i used to do a project with my students using white glue and thick watercolors. After it dried, we would gently wash over it andthe glue would leave white lines. Maybe we can try it when we come for Easter. Mimi

Love it, love it love it! Your blend of colors is wonderful! Your gadget printmaking and pastel drawing really make your picture POP! Maybe you would consider letting me frame it.
-- Lauri

Ezra- You made it look like somuch fun to make a "snow angel'. We've had lots of snow here the past two weeks. Looking forward to seeing you soon and maybe we'll have snow to make snow angels. Mimi
-- Lauri

This reminds me of The Hungry Caterpillar. Maybe you were thinking of a new story, The Hungry Red Caterpillar when you made this. I think he is a cute critter. I bet he has an interesting story.
-- Lisa

I can see how happy this fellow is by the smile on his face.
-- Lisa

I like how you went from cool colors to warm. Did you pick the letter "Z" since it is in your name?
-- Lauri

You used two mediums to make this quilt square- collage and drawing. I'm assuming that the figure is a picture of you. What is the SF on your shirt for?
-- Lauri

Ezra- I LOVE your cardinal! It looks just like the ones in our yard, trees and birdfeeder. I am going to participate in the Christmas Cardinal Count that they have here every year. Hope I count alot. Why don't you do it, too? Love, Mimi
-- Lauri

Ezra, I sure like how you used buttons on this art.
-- Lisa

Ezra, You have the cutest family. It sure looks like you have fun together. I see you and your sister are wearing your favorite colors.
-- Lisa

Ezra, This is beautiful. It reminds me of the cardinals your grandpa's bird feeder attracts on those cold snowy days in winter.
-- Lisa

Your cut paper sunflower brightened this gloomy day. Thanks, Ezra! Isn't it great how colors can make you feel? Love, Mimi
-- Lauri

Ezra- I was surprised to find your wonderful drawing waiting for me when we returned home from our visit to Asheville. It reminded me of the fun time we had watching you play soccer and cheering you on. Love, Mimi
-- Lauri

Looks like you are making art based on one of my favorite books. I like the rainbow colored body parts and wiggling legs on your hungry little caterpillar.
-- Lisa

It looks like a rainbow kind of day. Nice!
-- Lisa

Ezra, This must have been delightful to create. The ladybugs and ants look like they are busy with their springtime activities. It so fun and cheerful. Like you, it makes me smile. :D
-- Lisa

Just saw your woven heart. I used to do something similar with my students only we painted a paper, cut slits into it and then used colored strips for the weaving.
-- Lauri

this reminds me of a circular rainbow! Keep painting, Ezra! love, Mimi
-- Lauri

This is a unique rainbow because I usually see red, orange, yellow... This make your rainbow one of a kind. Nice.
-- Lisa

Ezra, I like how you used strips of paper to weave a pattern then masked it with a heart shape cover to reveal only parts of it. I'm proud of your hard work.
-- Grandma Schafer

Ezra- I loved your illustration of the book, MOUSE PAINT! I can find the mice that mixed their colors to make orange green, and purple. They look like fat, happy mice. I used to read that same book to my students when they were learning to mix colors. So fun!
-- Lauri

I logged on to my computer today and found a surprise..more art from Ezra! Your portrait is terrific! That smile looks just like you. Thanks for brightening my day. Love, Mimi
-- Lauri

Ezra, You are turning out to be quite an artist. I'm proud to see your latest artwork. I especially like all the details in your figure drawing, the red and yellow and yes, the smiling face. It makes me smile. I hope it makes you smile too.
-- Lisa

Ezra- I knew right away what you made a painting of without looking at the title. You really show the "wonder" of that night. Mimi
-- Lauri

Ezra, Wow, it’s beautiful! The warm colors are perfect for this season. I especially like the orange.
-- Lisa

Ezra- I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE your painted leaf flag.
-- Lauri

Ezra- Your picture is almost a COLLAGE of cars, buildings, and streets. It's fun to work with tissue and markers in combination. ox, Mimi
-- Lauri

You did a great job of using different lines to make this rainbow painting. I love how colorful it is. When I come to visit, we will use SCISSORS to make different lines and a special way to use color too. Can't wait!
-- Lauri

Ezra- I'm so glad that you're learning the wonderful, creative ways to use paper. The bending, creasing and pleating helped to make a sculpture with lots of shape. I hope that you had fun making it.
-- Lauri

It's beautiful. I really like how it is three dimensional and oh so colorful.
-- Lisa
