Today was Dougie's last day in Rose Class with Osawa Sensei at Seika Yochien. He brought home all of his artwork. The art that some of these kids accomplish is truly unbelievable (in American school, we would all assume the parents "helped" with it...). Dougie's is much more Pablo Picasso-esque. Perhaps even Edvard Munch (think, The Scream...).
Most of the subject matter is picked for them, but, clearly, not all. I still need to quiz Dougie some more about what some of the subject matter. At the Art Exhibition, he claimed he did not even do some of them. They all have his name no them and the Japanese are not know for disorganization.
So, until I get "the real" explanation of some, enjoy my interpretations or make up your own!
