EARLY SUMMER NATURE STUDIES. KinderArt students enjoyed gathering nature study items in brown bags. The combination of mosquitos and high humidity forced us back inside to make sketches of leaves, twigs, rocks and flowers we found in the garden by the pond. One student brought Jack, her pet frog, and let the other students observe and draw a real-live-frog! We are compiling our Nature Study drawings in a portfolio.

SKETCHING OUTDOORS. Taking classes into God's outdoor studio stirs up a child's innate creativity. Take your sketch tablet and pencil + eraser and walk out the door! You could also bring a viewfinder with you--we'll explore their uses in another blog. On this particular day we were working on a landscape scene with the pond in our backyard, trying to factor in the large trees in the foreground and a gazebo in the background across the bond.
