I had Foundation Studies this weekend. The Art for this session was drawing. *Groan*

I will not say I suck at drawing. I will not say I don't get it. But I will say...I'm learning. I'm just slow.

First we tried pastels on paper. After about 2 hours of work I ended up with this.

Then we moved onto crayon. This is about 30 minutes of work.

Then back to pastels...about an hour.

And lastly pencils. This is after about an hour...and it's so not finished. And I'm not sure where to go next with it to continue it...I need to finish coloring in the boat, and the sails...and I've got to fix the cliff but I don't know how...

Bonus points to people who can correctly ID the myths or stories I drew for the last three drawings.

175. A Sufi Message of Spiritual Liberty by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Short, sweet and to the point. An interesting counterpoint to Steiner

176. Spend the Day in Ancient Rome: Projects and Activities that bring the Past to Life by Linda Honan
Found this one sitting on an end cap at the library. We'll cover Ancient Rome Someday (6th grade I think), but it never hurts to find and write down a good resource. This one is okay. There's some interesting projects in it. It will probably merit another look when that particular block is much closer. Also need to note the author has written one for Ancient Egypt as well.

177. Chanticleer and the fox by Geoffrey Chaucer
Lovely book. One of the tales from Canterbury Tales. Lovely illustrations...kids liked this one a lot!
