'15/16 Week 4 Days 5

In our art class, we looked at some paintings of Francis de Goya. As he was known for the portraits he painted, we also took a look at drawing a picture of a person. Saara has been sketching smiley-face people, and I thought, it was time, they both got a little lesson on how to draw a proper portrait, something more just just a circle for a face and an arch for a mouth. What the kids ended up drawing and coloring was rather nice.

Science. Saara read about and watched lions in her science class today.

Andrew learned about and experimented with electricity. This time we learned what happens when the battery cells are side by side and not in a series.

Art. After making faces for a while, both got serious and started drawing their own portraits.
