May. 16, 2006 - Oil Painting

Today the older kids all did art together.  We did a still life with a goblet and an oddly shaped candle for our subject.  The kids all got a piece of canvas that I cut off of our big roll to paint on.  I thought it would be good to try out the oils and see how they worked before trying to do individual paintings.

I think that my mom MIGHT be here next Tuesday ~ that would be awesome, so she could help and be the "real" teacher.  Since she has a looooooot more art-teaching experience than me, we might actually get something done!!

Sprite did her math video this morning since she ran out of time yesterday, she seems to really be getting a lot out of the algebra videos.  I am soooo thankful that we found those!
