Studying Art On A Cold Day...

Yes, it does get cold here in January.
In fact the Monday before the 68 degree swimsuit day...
It was a 30 degree stay in the house day!
So we used our 1968 childcraft annual and a toilet paper roll to have an art lesson.
We talked about the way an artist looks at a large scene and may choose to focus on a small part of it to paint or draw.
So with our toilet paper roll telescope we looked out the back window and focused on one small part of the beautiful big picture...
The kiddos each focused on something different and drew it in their sketch books.
Boo chose a plow, barn and cow..
Bo chose the old truck in the pasture...
Miss LouLou chose the chicken coop in the backyard...
Mommy helped draw the coop...she put the chicken wire and grass on all by herself.
