Day #31/175 Days - Fine Art Co-Op

My sister and I have been having a hard time getting together to do our co-op. Today was our third meeting. We covered all of the following:

  • Read in Story of the Orchestra about cellos and listened to the track
  • Created a mini-book about cellos
  • Read in Story of the Orchestra about organs and listened to the track
  • Created a mini-book (To create these each boy lists one thing about the instrument and I write it on a blackboard. They then pick three of them - there are four boys - to copy in to their booklets.)
  • Read from Meet the Great Composers about Haydn
  • The boys answered some fill-in-the-blank type questions while listening. We reviewed the answers when done.
  • Read from A Young Scholar's Guide to the Composers 
  • The boys answered the Student Review pages while listening. We reviewed the answers when done.
  • Created a mini-book about Haydn (done in a similar fashion to the instrument ones)
  • Listened to the CD track from Meet the Great Composers with Haydn's work. Had the boys pick out cellos and organs.
  • Took a walk on our lunch break
  • Watched Lesson 3 in "God & The History of Art" about "Early Christian Art" by Barry Stebbing (I really like these videos)
  • Discussed the video
  • Watched the rest of Lesson 1 in "Beginning Drawing" and the boys did the lesson 
  • Read about da Vinci in Art in Story
  • Viewed some of da Vinci's paintings online and in books
