This round of the art explosion does not have a theme. Here is your chance to show us what you do.

In the past my thing was intricate doodles or large abstract portraits.

Right now I am having fun with our little four year old.

We enjoy painting and crafting together.

We like to reuse recyclable items or things that are otherwise destined for land fill.

He is learning about recycling at the preschool programme he attends too.

I often miss deadlines for things, so I thought a progress post might keep me on track or at least document my good intentions should I fail to finish the project in time.

We started with a big piece of cardboard box.

And drew a rough outline.

We had previously collected some every day recyclable items for a school project.

• Bottle tops
• Bread tags

We are in the process of using these as a palette to create our mix medium work.

This is where we are up to.

We are on a snack / ninja turtle watching break.
We will get back to it after a treasure hunt that he has mapped out for his teenage sister. As you can imagine, she is less than enthused.

The art explosion is open until the seventh of July.
Check it out.
