art (noun): Creative activity resulting in the production of painting, drawings or sculpture...
We ran out of time yesterday to do our weekly art lesson, so we did it as a family after lunch today...
The little one enjoyed the fact that "Dada" was doing our art project with us; making it more special...
and fun.
Our little lesson was an introduction to Georgia O'Keeffe and her artwork.
I'm using The Usborne Art Treasury book and in the section on Georgia O'Keeffe they highlighted her painting entitled Jimson Weed (1932). Did you know she lived to be 99 years old (1887 - 1986)?
I really like the book, they introduce the reader to the artist, show one of their works of art and then give a project that you can do reflecting that artist; in this case it was a petal collage with construction paper.
- Now the "boys" are playing downstairs and I'm getting ready to make a Peach Crumble in the crock pot from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook. I make this every summer, it always turns out yummy (mine never takes as long to cook as they say it does though).
Happy Labor Day Weekend (again)!
