I love the sense of abandon and fearlessness in Eli's artwork. It bothers me that both he and Fisher can be critical of their work from the standpoint of accuracy. Along the hallways at Kipps, their art teacher will post works from an entire class and it's fascinating to see the variations on a theme. Autumn leaves, pumpkins in the frost, Van Gogh's "Starry Night" seen through the lenses of 20 kids. Some are intensely aware of edges and lines. Others find ways to break the rules and the results are wonderful.

The world is an amazing place through the eyes of a child.
We should all look through their lens now and again so that we are reminded of both the endless possibilities as well as the responsibilities to leave said world, for them, better than we found it.
