Our art lesson today w/ Ping was to discuss the medium the artist used. In Ping Kurt Weise used colored pencils and crayons. We looked through the illustrations to see how he blended his colors to make new colors which represented the evening sky. We also talked about how he drew water. The kids took a try at these different techniques. E wants to know if anyone can figure out what she drew. :)
For E's lessons today we got most of our books from Amazon today! This is a brief recap of what we covered today:
Abraham Lincoln's World - So much was covered in this book today I don't think I can begin to even cover it! LOL Mainly we learned about Napolean. His rise to Emperor and the beginning of his fall. We learned about the Louisiana Purchase. We also met Lewis & Clark and Sacagewa as they traveled across the country discovering the new territory. All this as Abraham Lincoln was born in a humble log cabin in Kentucky!
Of Courage Undaunted - In this book we'll be delving deeper into Lewis and Clark's journey across the new world. Today we learned about Lewis' childhood and how he knew Thomas Jefferson.
Phew, I'm beat today, so everything is brief. Tomorrow, I'll try to have E do the narrations. She's much better. :)
