Art.

I have always done poorly in art class...the last art class I took was in Junior High and the only reason I got an A is because I played teacher's pet well.

But whenever I read blogs and learn about other families' art studies, I know the importance of doing art with my kids.  So today, we learned about Van Gogh.

I have this wonderful Usborne book that shows a famous painting, gives a description of the artist, and then gives directions on how to do something similar.  So today we looked at Starry Night, and painted a daytime  landscape with swirly clouds and trees.  Here's Nathan's....

And here's Becca's...

Not too shabby for our first "art" class.
