Picture Parent

Today was Picture Parent Day! It is doing these times that a volunteer mom or dad comes to our class to share with us about a famous artist. After that we get a chance to do work like the artist. Today we learned about Paul Cezanne. Our picture parent, Mrs. Young, talked to us about how Cezanne grew up in France and about the differences between a portrait and a landscape. We also learned other cool things...

"He used so much paint that the painting would crack."

"He wanted to be in a contest, but nobody liked his paintings so he never won. But he kept on trying."

"He painted portraits."

"He loved to paint."

Check out our own still life...

Happy New Year!



Happy 2011!
We are certainly very excited about our new year. This week during our Bible times we have been talking about giving our best and greatest gifts to God because He's given His best and greatest gift to us. What better way can we thank Him than by offering him our praise.
