Jacob came over from school this week VERY stoked about a drawing contest to win tickets to the new Percy Jackson movie. He analysed and talked over different ideas with his brother, who also read the series. Then he sketched a rough draft one night and wrote down pages on his sketch of the different monsters in the book to get details on.
He decided to draw an open book at the bottom and then Percy standing against all the creatures. He was sooo excited at his idea and came to ask me to call the Public Library to find out what size the drawing should be and if it could be colored.
I called the library so that he could get started on his project only to find out that the Percy Jackson poster stated that there would be a "drawing" for a free movie ticket and NOT a drawing "contest" for a ticket. We signed up anyway, for the Percy Jackson night.
He was SOOO sad to leave his ideas and sketch to never REALLY come to life. However, Stephen and I have something fun planned for the boys when the movie does comes out.
I do wish that there were more art contests that he could enter, he just gets sooo excited.
Amazing job! My sons are also very excited about the movie coming out. I haven't read the series yet but I hear it's really good.
ReplyDeleteHe should finish it! So there's not a contest...finish it anyway! Especially with the talent he has. Who knows? Maybe it can be used for something in the future.
ReplyDeletePLEASE share your plans for when the movie comes out. My daughter dressed up as Annabeth for Halloween. She is sooooo excited!
