the more it goes, tiddley-pom
This is not an excuse. Well, yes it is. It snowed and snowed and snowed yesterday, and then our country internet went out. So — art lesson coming soon!
In the meantime, take a look at some of our observational draw-ers! From our friends following along from home:
And from our class:
Blind contour (right) and observational drawing (left) of rose leaves, by H, age 5
Rose, observational drawing by E, age 7
Lily, observational drawing by Jack, age 8
Note: Jack has been drawing for a long time! (I was really impressed by this drawing.) Most of my students have just begun. This is where we're all headed!

and gracie was drawing from a real (stuffed) buffalo, not a drawing — if only i could bring one of those to class!
This is really opening my eyes to the unrealized potential in a typical public or private school art class once a week, with "canned" projects such as "copy the style of Mondrian."
We are joining you all .. sooner than summer as I had planned.
i think children take the larger lesson away as well - that we can be better at anything if we spend time doing it - that we can see ourselves improve and know it happened because of work.
it seems to me that when i was a child, children were given time to develop their talents. now, if you're not immediately excellent at something, you move on. but there's so much enjoyment to be had from slowly gaining a skill, growing and improving with time.
