Homeschool Monthly Art Class

We went to a homeschool art class hosted and volunteered by homeschool moms and a local library. It was really fun. This month was Monet. The mom hosting it printed up a packet of info about Claude Monet that included a few paintings by him. We did water color lilies in the class using the coffee filters as lilies. Once the filters are dry you can crinkle them and make them take more shape. When they are really wet they are just flat of course. One of my favorite things about homeschoolers has always been the inclusiveness of everyone. So many homeschoolers see a lot of value in group learning and playing in the company of all ages. It really shows too! We had all ages from one and a half to 15 years old join the class today.

Next month the artist subject is Van Gogh and Charlotte (15) volunteered to host the class and teach how to make sunflowers. She very much enjoys art and making sunflowers and so do I! We will have fun I'm sure!



Love the tongue out!
