The kindergarten art teacher is amazing. She actually teaches about art and techniques while doing the actual art projects. She has all the kids practice their art with dots--just like Seurat! She shows a poster of this painting--and explains the techniques. Then they make a painting with q-tips. We like to take the kids to Chicago so they can see the painting in real life. J-man loved it! It was like he had been waiting since he did his art project to see the painting. FUN!
The Big H never draws things--he only draws swirls of color, shapes, and other. You know abstract. So he loved seeing the Rothko's, Pollack, and others in the modern wing.
My undergraduate degree was in Humanities--you know literature, art history, history, philosophy all combined. I especially loved the art! It is fun to see my kids captivated by different paintings.
