I admit it…I neglected art a bit during the school year because life happens and things like art get pushed to the back burner.
But no more, I declare!!!
Let there be ART!!!
It's fun and my girls are really creative too.
We kicked off our Masterpiece Monday today with the study of Georgia O'Keeffe flowers that I saw over at Pink and Green Mama. I was going for easy, and this seemed easy to start our first lesson.
First, we studied examples online
and then I had them draw a picture of a flower on their paper, making sure that each petal touched the edge of the paper.
Next they were to trace over the pencil marks with a black Sharpie, but low and behold we could not find a black Sharpie...anywhere!
Red, Green, Blue.
Got it!
Black...MIA
how can this be with my love affair with all things school supplies...
must. buy. Sharpies!
okay, I digress back to the art.
we improvised with a regular black marker, which turned out to work too.
McKenzie wanted in on the painting action, then decided her books were more interesting.
The end results turned out great and everyone is proud to show off their masterpiece.
Looking forward to next Monday!!!
Chat later!
