All excited to start co-op. Okay, not really but still cute!

Art
- We continued with our drawing lessons via Barry Stebbing videos. We continued with Portraits and Anatomy and learned to draw the human figure. Here are the boys offerings:
Happy's
Conductor's
Lego-Man's
- They also drew the profile of a clown and a cartoon character called "sleepy."
- Our artist today is Henri Matisse.
- Read about Matisse in Art in Story pgs. 258-259
- Read Drawing with Scissors - a picture book about Matisse
- Watched this video of Matisse drawing with scissors on YouTube.
- Listed things learned on the white board and created an artist biography page.
I find images online and paste them in to Word to create these pages. I shrink them down (just hold the control key and grab the corner of the photo and the dimensions will stay while you shrink it). I like the hands on aspect.
We ran out of time to do the other project we had planned. You can see it here and print the templates to create your own. I think we'll be adding it to a future day of school.
