::::::::::::::::::::::::Sister Wendy::::::

We are using Sister Wendy Beckett for art appreciation class. Aaron has a hard time getting passed her teeth, but I think her enthusiasm and insights won him over. Rachel and Noah watched her episode about the Lascaux cave paintings in the South of France. In that episode she showed The Book of Kells, Greek art on an urn depicting Achilles killing an Amazon woman, paintings uncovered in Pompei, and some Medieval art. I highly recommend her videos!




Here is a great article about her: Click ME!

Too much fun stuff over here today! I love love love the layouts and the art your kids made. So neat!

And I wouldn't have even noticed her teeth if you hadn't said anything, then I just about spit out my pop when I scrolled down. That's not nice of me.

Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog! I'm gonna link you. You always have the neatest stuff going on over here!

Great layouts. Love the art by your kids. And my sister just did a spoof video on Sister Wendy last year in college. Apparently they use Wendy's materials to study art at her school.
