Ephemeral Art

This month's KidMade Challenge: Ephemeral Art.
.

David & I took on the challenge and headed outside with our washable markers. We gathered some of David's favorite things - rocks - and set out to create.




David & Elizabeth were in our little pool so there would be a barrier from the chiggers. Here's the rocks that David designed:




I call this one "Mom Rocks" : )





We recently read Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig, so I made a magic pebble. (and I love how this photo turned out!)




Wikipedia defines ephemeral as "lasting only one day." Well, our rocks will stay colored until it rains, I guess, but David's second work of art truly was ephemeral!


And it easily washed off in the shower!


David's description of today's activity:

I wrote some rocks. I marked some rocks. And I was playing, getting rocks. Then I was marking my tummy! See I marked my tummy! (showing me his tummy again) And I'm brown!
