The homeschool students came for another painting lesson today and it was almost like last week’s class. This time they worked with a palette of analogous colors to create paintings of anything they chose. I added the stipulation that they must paint a background and that if they chose to add a touch of a color outside their analogous scheme they had to have a strong reason for doing so. As you can see, they all did quite well with the assignment.
As you may also notice, they chose different painting locations again, with the boys working inside at the tall table and the girls out on the patio. We had a guest in today’s class who was a lot of fun to be around. She lives on Saipan in the Mariana Islands and was quite knowledgeable about her island home. I enjoyed hearing her descriptions and I especially took notice of the great respect she communicated when talking about her teacher back home. She flowed nicely with the other students and she was a pleasure to have in the class. I suspect that she liked the end of class best when they all painted the table some more. Here is a picture of that.
Lots more happened today after class. A friend came by with another bow for me to try for my violin and sheet music for he and Robin to play. I made a recording of them playing together and that was fun. They are so good. I’ll have to figure out how to share my recordings sometime. Then the work on the house continued with walls coming down, a friend dropped by to show off a little bitty canoe he made, and another friend called to say she and her family will be coming for a visit in a couple days. I will post pictures of the house so you can see some more of the progress there and I am really hoping my friend sends a photo of himself and the tiny canoe so I can share that.
