Art School

Hi readers! This post is probably one of my happiest because I was well enough (being sick for the last few days) to actually participate in Challenge #4... Art and Artists.
I don't know who to thank for this amazing luck, but other than a few coughs and a bit of a sore throat, I'm feeling really good! I had the ideas and I knew they wouldn't be too hard. Let's begin, anyways. On with things!!! **drumroll

Cecilia Teak is a well-known songwriter so it all surprised us when the busy, well to do celebrity star decided to open an art school for toddlers and young children.

The Art School, Budlings, was (in real life inspired by the wallpaper I used to liven up my diorama, hehe) created in November 2019 and is growing very popular among the residents of Huckleberry Springs. Each child is coming home with splendid results and an increase in talent. They all say they are having a lot of fun. Millie is, unfortunately, too old for the programme but as soon as Daisy turns two Georgina plans on sending her. (she is a bit of a handful, you know!)

Today, Saturday, Cecila welcomes the class of toddlers, ages ranged from 2 to 5: The Tuxedo Cat triplets, Angelia, Peppermint and Midnight, a richer but distant cousin of the Maple Cats, who goes by the name of Ophelia Stripe, Creme Chocolate and Suzy Snow-Warren.

It's time to begin class!

"This is a four-leafed clover. It's a special sign for St. Patrick's Day. They say if you catch one, your wishes will come true!"

"It's like an eyelash!" says Creme. Everyone giggles.

"Kind of like an eyelash, yes..." says Cecilia. What wacky children! "Anyway, I would like all of us to draw the little clover because if you draw it, it's like you have one. So I think that while you're all drawing a four-leafed clover, I want you to think of what you wish for the most."

"Okay," say all the children. They can't wait to get started!

All the children love drawing! They get lots of compliments and they get to use fancy art supplies they don't usually get to go near at home in case they get all messy.

"What lovely four-leaf clovers you are all making, there!"

"Thank you, Miss Teacher."

After that, it's time for a song, the Buddling's song, in fact. Cecilia composed and wrote it herself.

"We are the Buddlings

We love to laugh and play-ay

We are the Buddlings

We draw and sketch all day-ay

Sometimes we can make a mess

But we'll clean it in the end

Here we make lots of friends

What a fun place to be

We are the Buddlings

Somedays we make paintings

We are the Buddlings

Other days we shape with clay

We like to run around

We are fun to be around

Sometimes we don't make a sound,

And that is when we're sleeping sound!

We have a nice teacher

And we're nice to each other

We are the Buddlings

When we grow up

We'll be big roses

And we'll draw so well

We are the Buddlings

We love to play all-day

And paint and draw and sketch and shape with clay!"

Time for a photo!

The little babies are always excited to show their mommy or daddy what they made that day.

"I really hope I get my new tricycle!" says Peppermint. "I wished for it while I was drawing my clover."

"Clover? Well, let's see then," says Mommy cat. Peppermint, Angelica and Midnight show her their little sketches. "How pretty!" says Mommy.

In bed...

The triplets will be dreaming of nice things at night and wondering if their dreams will come true. "I wonder what Mrs. teacher wished for?"

"Hmm...?? I wonder, too."

Mommy has hung their drawings on the wall. Maybe the little artists's dreams did come true after all.

THE END
