Budding Artist

Since Reagan’s fabulous music teacher moved, I decided we needed a new winter activity for our Friday mornings. It turns out that there aren’t too many options for Fridays, so I decided on a class through Fairfax County that’s down near Mount Vernon. It’s on the early side, but it will be good to have some time on the way home to run errands if we need to and not feel like we’re rushing home for lunch and nap every week.

This past Friday was our first class and she created a picture based on Rene Magritte’s High Society.

High Society

Checking out her finished piece. (Yes, she got the smock and her sleeves rolled up. I got paint on my shirt!)

She sponge painted with blue and black on the background, then used oil crayons on the white figure and dot paints on the blue figure. Then, we glued it all down and added the border!
