Art Teacher J started his first lesson today! He is using Artistic Pursuits K-3 Book 1 (love this curriculum!). For the next 10 weeks they will be talking about "What Artists Do". Today M/T learned that artists compose. They looked at Pieter De Hooch's painting The Courtyard of a House in Delft, 1658. Plus other paintings that Teacher J used from his college art book to show composition. (It helps to have an art major husband!) And then he asked the kids to think of something that happened yesterday; once they had a specific idea they talked about what was involved in that "scene" and then drew all the elements. Yesterday we were at my in-laws for a St. Patrick's Day dinner, so M choose to draw a scene from dinner & T choose to sketch a scene from when he played outside.
