Today was our Kickoff day for our new Art Co-op. We voted to call the group Little Hands. The ages of our children are Pre-K -2nd Grade.

We are really excited about learning more about art.  Each mom volunteers to teach one month. There is so much to glean from each mom and her different perspecitve.

Our plan is to meet together once a month to learn about one artist and do a project related to his/her technique.  (At home we study more about the artist during the month.) We are also putting together 3 ring binders with page protectors. In this we store any handouts, our art examples and a few pictures of the artists paintings/work.

Linda taught us about George Seurat and Pointillism. We learned he was from France. So we learned to count in French to three. We also recieved a short bio hand out, an outline map of France and flag of France Page. (We plan to practice pointillism at home on those pages.) She read a book about Art and showed us a few pictures of George's work. You can see the dots placed together closely to make the colors meld.
