A Girl with a Watering Can

This week we actually did something with our Renoir picture of the week!  We studied Renoir's paintings four years ago. 

 

 

 

 Here is Bethany's page on ~ A Girl with a Watering Can ~ at age 5:

 

 

This includes a little narration about the picture - a good idea if the child is reticent to try copying the picture itself.

 

 

 

and this is her effort four years later at age 9 3/4.

 

 

Emily's picture & narration at age 4.

 

 

Emily's picture at 8 1/2.  She decided to focus on the watering can.

 

 

 

Ainsley's picture (age 5, nearly 6).  Evidently red was the colour of the day!

This is great! :-) I love Renoir! This is a great idea to re-draw the same painting again, years later. I figured that we'd cycle through some of the biggie artists (Renoir, Van Gogh, Monet, etc) again at an older age.

This is really awesome! I love the age and stage pictures. And I love just the red!
