Picture Study: Escher

Posted in Home Education

Stacy has had a great series of posts on Picture study lately-- be sure to check them out.

We did Klimt in September and have been doing Escher in October.  The kids have enjoyed his optical illusions, but we've also examined his delight in proportion and perspective.  My favorite is Three Worlds, one I hadn't seen before this week-- a very autumnal picture.  Here is O, rendering "Ascending and Descending".

Wow! So fun! I can't wait to get a little deeper to some more complex artists! :)
