Our artist this week from Great American Artists for Kids was Fredric Remington. He was well known for his paintings of the Wild West.
J read a book about Fredric Remington and lis life.
She completed an artist page for her American Artist notebook.
She added him to her timeline book.
J wrote a mini notecard for our artist wall. I like to use this wall to review the artists and allow her to see how far we have come.
The artist project in the text was to do a face cast. But I thought it would be fun to create sculpture like those of Remington's. We started with a sheet of tin foil and I drew the diagram to break it up. She began to fold and crunch to make her body.
This is her final project. She struggled with this and she was not happy with her final results. And I thought the project in the book sounded hard! Oh, well. You can't win them all. It's a person jumping, in case you were wondering:) See you soon.
