Fun with Art

For art this year we decided on Artistic Pursuits K-3 book two. With all that has been going on we hadn't gotten much done so today we got back into doing it. We did lesson 3 which was about Giotto. We read a little about him and then did the project. It was scratch art. This is the boys coloring their black oil pastel over their first colors.

Here is the finished product. They were proud of their artwork today. Do you see the smiles?

This is the first year we try Artistic Pursuits and we are enjoying it. Tomorrow we start on lesson 4 which has a Fresco project. My boys want to actually draw on the walls. A big HA to them.

A nice series of books that we use to learn about different artists is Getting To Know The World's Greatest Artists and for this lesson it is the one about Giotto. I like this book for its wonderful photographs of this artists work and the ease of reading for the littler ones.

Can't wait till tomorrow to continue our art!
