Today during sacrament meeting he blew me out of the water with this excellent depiction of Captain Moroni.
It melted my heart. This kid is a sweetheart. (I won't tell you what song he was humming while he drew this picture in the middle of sacrament meeting... It's a song I am ashamed to say he was exposed to at a friends' house. We've got to be a little more vigilant about keeping our kids safe from questionable movies and music *sigh* it can be so hard sometimes!)
When I picked him up from Primary, he had a new masterpiece to share! Joseph Smith in the sacred grove:
I think his teacher helped him with Joseph kneeling, and I was mildly disappointed that the picture didn't include the First Vision with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, but honestly, the fact that my kid is drawing gospel art is just really touching.
Along the lines of the exposure discussion, he wouldn't be drawing pictures of scripture stories and scripture heroes if he hasn't been exposed to them. We try to expose them to gospel art a lot - from the posters on their bedroom walls to using the gospel art book for FHE to visiting the Church History museum and more.
It's always nice to see fruits from your labors.
Do you expose your children to gospel art and pictures of the scripture stories?How do you use gospel art in your daily life with your kids and in your study of the gospel?

Those pictures are so cute! I like the one from the sacred grove best myself, but they are both adorable. Children certainly do reflect what they are learning and surrounded with in their artwork. When my kids were little we had several coloring books that were gospel related, I wish I knew what happened to them. When we moved a lot of things were lost. I can imagine that you hang your kids drawings up on the fridge and in the house, showing them how proud you are of their art work will get them to want to do more. Thanks for sharing those, they really are neat!
