Believing the Best: Drawing and Watercolors

http://believingthebest.blogspot.com/2012/10/drawing-and-watercolors.html

Tuesday, October 2, 2012. I finally re-checked out "Drawing With Children" at the library and have found the beginning drawing lessons so enlightening. I admit that it isn't easy trying to teach art to your children, when you are not very artistic! I began 'googling' phrases like: 'how can a non-artistic homeschooler teach art lessons'? Mark is getting into the shading here. Me I'm just enjoying the colors. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Brave Writer's Life in Brief. A Place of Quiet Rest.

Sunday, January 31, 2010. We found the Owl. We found a Great Horned Owl at our local nature center! Tuesday, January 12, 2010. The Great Horned Owl. We've been studying John James Audubon's drawings of America's birds. His personal goal was to create pictures of all the birds of America. By 1838, he had drawn 435 birds! If we do, we'll post photos. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Brave Writer's Life in Brief. A Place of Quiet Rest. It's official . I'm a lousy blogger. Handbook of Nature Study.

Tuesday, May 22, 2012. This is the 'haul' we made after finishing pottery class! The kids were so excited, that they had to have a bowl of cereal that night out of their favorite bowl.so far no leaks! See the photos below of their completed projects. the colors turned so beautifully vibrant. Here we have two pinch pots, two coiled pots, two slabs, and three pots from the wheel. We have one more from the wheel that we forgot to glaze, so back to the studio this Thursday for our last pot. These are the days.

Believing the Best: Microscopes 101

http://believingthebest.blogspot.com/2012/05/microscopes-101.html

Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Today we broke out the microscope and began looking at slides of all kinds of parts: frog tongues, cricket legs, insect wings and grasshopper legs! We then started to get creative by looking at our own hair, skin cells, flower petals, saliva and a fish scale from our fish caught in the Chesapeake! We watched a video on this website: http:/ www.kidsbiology.com/biology basics/cells tissues organs/cell history discovery3.php. Here are some more ideas to look at under the microscope:.

Believing the Best: March 2010

http://believingthebest.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 23, 2010. We've discovered the Snap Circuit sets and we love them! Hannah made a simple closed circuit which played "Happy Birthday" on the provided speaker. We were impressed at how easy they are to use, while teaching simple electronic concepts and symbols. Mark was thrilled with the alarm he made with an LED light! Their dad loved it too (who makes electronics) and proceeded to 'show them how it works'! Friday, March 5, 2010. Bible Characters Coming to Life! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
