So I have a homeschool dirty secret....I am an artist, yet many times visual arts get shoved to the side in our education. I mean we have art day once a month with friends, and we do art at home, but not as often as both of us would like. In our opinion as a family ART is more important than say Algebra. We do our Algebra too, but have slacked on making enough time for art...because let's face it, you can gauge about how long math, grammar, science, ect might take you to cover, you can't really truly gauge the time it may take you to make art...and we make lots of fabulous messes, usually spread it out all over the house. Actually I should probably take pics of our mess, the mess is often "artistic". So in our busy lives, and my daughter's super active social life (seriously how anyone could think this kid doesn't get "socialized" should have to be her taxi sometime) art time slides by the wayside. This year we have decided to make more time to create, it makes us all happier!
So here is our first art project for the school year. We made most of the decorative papers, which was just as fun as making the collage, then after all was dry we cut, pasted, created, and enjoyed our finished work! I love how they both have some 3-D qualities.
