Homeschooling Pictures!

Just posting some pictures of this week's work.

Page One of his First Main Lesson Book




We did Form Drawing this week.

Curve Forms First



Then Straights


Then Waves


As you can see, I didn't realize we were drawing on the onion skins! Now that I know they are there, we will avoid them.

Here's a Picture of the Blackboard on Thursday Morning. The picture for Ike to copy on the left, and the verse on the right. Yea, I know, I'm not the greatest artist. I'm learning. Cut me some slack.


Here's Ike's rendition of the drawing. The house took 3 tries, but with the fixes, it looks pretty good. I can't help but wonder if the book I'm using is too small. (Its something like 11 x 14) Too small at least for pictures...he seems to be doing quite well with the writing.



And two pages of the verse



Next week I'll have him draw the stars between the words. On the first picture you can see where he got lost looking at the board and the entire verse. It got better when I decided to erase each word as he finished copying it into his book.

I like both your picture and Ike's version of it. The houses in both remind me some of the illustrations in a book I just finished reading, "The Cobber's Companion. How to Build Your Own Earthen Home."
