Week 22 and 23
These last few weeks have been hard. A family friend died in a tragic way a few weeks ago, and a family member made some choices that have affected and hurt many around him. I have been working through the circumstances as best as I can, but it has been exhausting emotionally and mentally.
Life continued on as usual though and needed to be enjoyed. So here are pictures of us doing just that:

Picture Study Picasso
Studying Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Clito Ruiz Picasso aka Picasso has been quite enjoyable.
His growing up years and art education were lead by his father, an artist himself.
His art work is remembered through his different periods.
Another website I've recently discovered that explores many of Picasso's works, articles pertaining to Picasso and his works, as well as actual Picasso works currently on auction can be found at Artsy Net It's a pretty neat resource that is suitable for elementary through high school students.

After studying some of his different periods and styles, I-E and E-R decided to try their hands at Cubism. After reading that cubism was Picasso’s attempt at showing an object from several different vintage points, they drew the same object from different viewpoints.
I-E’s winged unicorn
E-R’s unicorn with a hat
Then the girls cut their pictures apart.
I-E cut her pictures out as outlines and left them whole.
Her final product.
E-R cut hers out as a cubes.
Her final product.
We enjoyed our time with Picasso.
