It’s been awhile since we’ve done a Children’s Book Tuesday and once again it’s not exactly a children’s book per se. But it’s an art curriculum book we’re using in our homeschool that I’m absolutely in love with – Oxford First Book of Art
If you order this book through the Amazon link above in the text - I get a kickback! ;)
A friend gave this book to us and I just love it! We’ve done one lesson each day. It has a very simple layout, short easy reads. All four kids usually gather around and look at the pictures over my shoulder while I read to them. I love that the lessons have the kids really look at the art. I like that it includes art of different mediums.
This is one of the kids' favorite lessons so far.
And I love that there is a suggested activity with each lesson. A simple activity – I need simple right now on most days, not everyday can be an oil painting Toulouse-Lautrec kind of extravanganza, now can it?
On the left is TheMiddlest's, top right is TheOldest's, and bottom right is ThePrincess's.
This activity was a “one line drawing” similar to the one they studied in the lesson. Didn’t they do great?!
Now join us in this blog hop! Link up and we’ll come visit – we always love to see what children’s books we might’ve missed along the way! (and if you’ve been doing Children’s Book Tuesday without me – ahem, Kathi! – please feel free to either link up a new one or one of your old posts – I’m SO not picky!)
