Tomorrow I am going to actually try and do some formal art with my kids. While hardly blog-worthy to some, this is a big deal considering it is our 4th year of homeschooling!
My 3 dear sons think painting is putting lots of every color on your pallet, paint 5 pictures in three minutes with one color (maybe two,) quickly making mud of the rinse water, and moaning about having to clean up.
Besides, I haven't a clue how to teach art. I am very blessed that my mom is an artist and teaching classes with ds#1 in it at the co-op. Still, I probably should do art. I have lots of supplies, and even some books. I just need the will I guess.
I pulled out one of the Williamson Kids Can! books on art and we're starting at the beginning with primary colors. We'll see how this goes... |
