My kids started a tradition last year the day after Easter. They take all their drawings they have created throughout the year and sell them to each other using Easter candy as their currency. The schools here are off for Spring Break and my children have been asking me if we were doing school. I've been giving vague answers, so today I agreed that they could do a half-day schedule of school, and the afternoon could be spent doing their annual Art Mart after lunch.

| They spent about 20 minutes setting up their shops. What's that quote? "A creative mess is better than tidy idleness." |
Wendy set up hers on the fish tank and the wall behind it.
Jason's was mostly on the floor and a bench.
Emily is the most meticulous drawer. She had the fewest drawings, but they were high quality.
Bradley is the least meticulous drawer. He whips out a few pictures in one 25 minute drawing session. I love his drawings though.
The currency. My eldest typed it up and printed one for everyone.
Wendy paying for some of Bradley's art. He scored a medium sized chocolate bunny. Poor Wendy spent most of her candy and received little in return. Tomorrow's lesson will be on charity and giving to the poor.
Rachel's barren shop. The pictures at her feet are Jason's pieces of art.
Sarah's shop. Sarah is more of a pencil sketcher.
Ready with her purse for some shopping. Sarah is the entrepreneur. She bought artwork and resold it for a profit.
It was a fun day. I did some shopping too. These are my purchases. It only cost me several Hershey Miniatures. After my first round of purchases I went into the other room to do a few things on the computer while they made their purchases. While I was in the other room I received a few flyers and ads to get me to come do more shopping. I admit they were effective. I did go shopping for more art.
Wendy
Not sure what this is a picture of, but it looks like a student with a mean teacher. Not sure why he has a quiver of arrows or why a centipede is walking by him.
Bradley
Frankenman with a hairy chest.
Emily
A girl eating fried Chichen. The scan is not cut off. She ran out of room to draw the girl's head and tomorrow I will quiz her on how to spell chicken.
Sarah
Husky Pirate Girl
Bradley
Cartoon Man with Six Fingers
Rachel
Rachel's noses crack me up. It's just a simple line between the eyes.
Jason
Evil Bumblebee
Wendy
Person laughing at baby with giant head walking down the sidewalk.
Bradley
There must have been a fried chicken theme during drawing time one day. The kid in the background is mad because all he has is celery.
Emily
She's been working on portraits.
Sarah
Personfied Landscape
Such thought provoking art. Chocolate well spent. :)
