Artists are we....

Thursday is "Art\Music Day" for us so here is what we did today....
 I had an Usbourne Book Party recently and got this book!  LOVE it!  It has art in it, a short biography about the artist, and shows you how to do a project on you own that is similiar to the artist's.
I also got these art cards and they have been super fun to just pull out anytime to look at.  Addie especially has liked to do that.  We spread them all out today and just picked up ones we thought were interesting. These cards are awesome!

 We turned on some classical music, channeled our inner "Jacskson Pollock" and tried our hand at splatter painting. Addie took to it like a pro....
So did Seth.  He is what I call my "Reluctant Artist".  He claims he hates art and usually disappears when we start doing artsy stuff.  But, sometimes he comes and joins in after much prodding on my part.  He told me as he was creating his splatter painting masterpiece today, "I could do this all day".  See, Sethy!  Art IS fun!
Sasha takes art from a wonderful lady once a week, so it has been important to me this year to make sure I do art with my other kids since they aren't old enough her for regular classes. What shall we do next week.....???
**Audrey painted her arm quite nicely and Noah managed to eat more of a crayon than I would have liked while we painted.  Just in case you wondered if they like art, too.**
