Adage #3: Take an art class.

When I was home at Christmas, my family played a game that was kind of a cross of Pictionary and Apples-to-Apples. You pick a card and everyone draws what the card says like "vacation" or "rabbit". After everyone has drawn their picture you pick another card that says something like "prettiest" or "most likely to be mistaken for real art" and everyone votes on who's drawing best fits that phrase (without knowing which drawing belongs to who). Here are some of the highlights, let me warn you, we're not a super artistic family.

Breakfast in bed.


This is the scariest looking baby I have ever seen.


We were supposed to draw "school". I'm not sure how well you can see this, but 3 of these look pretty normally, but take a closer look at the 3rd picture - my sister drew this (the only one in school right now).


"Chickens crossing the road":
1. The picture on top is mine, the one on the bottom is my mom's, can you guess who I learned to draw from?
2. Somehow I also learned from my mom that when drawing chickens, they have 4 legs instead of 2.

Which do you think it is?


The Adams family interprets "horse".


I am offended.


If this won for Art Teacher's Pet, you can only imagine how beautiful the rest of our drawings were.
