Today we finally got around to the "A is for Art" lesson from Serendipity. The hurricanes have us way behind in our Fine Arts plans, but we've managed to get to a good bit of poetry and music, it was just art that I couldn't quite pull together.
Anyway, today we learned about cave art and spent a good bit of time taking the virtual tour of Lascaux and then went outside to create a bit of cave art ourselves. We crumpled up the paper so it would have some texture to it, like cave walls, and hung from the backyard fence, so it would be like painting on a wall. We gathered up items to paint with, like sticks, rocks, and leaves, and crushed oil pastels with a rock to make paint.
Note the caveman-like dress code was in fashion for the day long before we began the art lesson.
And the finished products on display in the learning room:
