We had a very small class on Wednesday. Michalea was sick and Halei was on vacation in Barbados so that left the four of us. It seemed that there was a lot going on that day since my dad was in the hospital but the children were awesome and well behaved.
We learned a little about Michelangelo, the Italian painter and sculptor. He painted and sculpted images of David, Adam and Eve, and Jesus. His life seemed to be more joyful than some of the other artists that we've learned about. We also talked a little about Leonardo da Vinci, who painted the famous painting, The Last Supper.
The childen took their own ideas and scuplted and molded things out of clay. It was fun observing their minds and hands at work. It was a wonderful activity to complete our art study. I wish that we had more time because I feel like we have so much more material that we could cover.
Thank you all for sharing your children with me this year. I cannot tell you what a blessing they are to me. Wednesdays have been absolutely wonderful, for the most part:-) I'll post more pictures next week after the pool party. Oh, please remember to bring a side and cold drinks for your family. Don't forget to pack sunscreen and towels.
See you next week!
