With a name like “Group of Four” we had to do some painting sooner or later.
I had been thinking how nice it would be to have someone else come in and teach our group. All four of the mothers have had something extra in their lives over the last few weeks and I just thought we could all do without the preparation of another lesson. Well, as often is the case, God knew what I hoped without me ever voicing it. One of the grandmothers of our group was visiting her grandsons and kindly agreed to give the whole group a lesson.
First she covered colour mixing, then did a demonstration with acrylic paint in order that the children could all do their own simple landscape. Before we finished she gave the older ones some pointers in sketching. It was an excellent lesson which everyone enjoyed. At the top is the landscape by B6, in the middle is A10’s and below is L12’s.
What nice pictures and what an artistic grandmother to have in your midst…she obviously was a good teacher. I painted with my dc this week but they look nothing like this.. 🙂
Thank you, Southerngirl, I was very pleased with the paintings too. The children enjoyed it so much that they painted on both days this weekend as well.
These are AMAZING, care to dispay them at my house??
They are great!
What a wonderful resource grandparents are!
the paintings are lovely! A10 in particular shows some real promise there i think. i hope they keep painting.
God bless
