art class

Ethan loves the times we have art. A friend recommended an art program called Atelier Art by Marcia Osterink which is specifically designed for homeschool families. It teaches from a video (and lesson plans) and the art itself uses different mediums (paint, chalk, pencil, etc.) The big perk for me was that it also incorporated great works of art to study along side the techniques of art that they are learning. Such works as "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh, "Mains Aux Fleurs" by Pablo Picasso, "Snap the Whip" by Winslow Homer...to name a few.

So now I am going to showcase some of Ethan's creations:
"Turtle" (Line Lesson)
"Frogland" (Drawing Lesson)

"Tumble Clowns" (Color Lesson)

"Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater" (Composition Lesson)
