A week of Celebrating {HSMJ}

In my life this week…
Paul took Sir N for a walk this week to our local wetland area near our home and he captured some beautiful shots of Sir N playing with his dog.  These two have been friends since we adopted the dog when Sir N was two.

We've been celebrating my first born turning 21 this week.


In our home school this week…
  • We watched a documentary on How to Make Papyrus Paper.  This was very interesting.
  • We've started working our way through the Drawing Textbook.
  • Our Apologia Who is God ? arrived last week and we started using our new Juniour Journal.  We started with this earlier in the year but stopped to complete a study of the Old Testament.  We've restarted this book from the begining and I'm enjoying the conversations Sir N and I  have been having about the topics so far.
Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
  • I'd really like to go into town this weekend and have a look at The Gertrude Street project.

Drawing Textbook Lessons {Virtual Fridge}

This Week
After completing our drawing of a face a few weeks back we decided to continue with learning drawing skills.  We settled on the Drawing Textbook written by Bruce McIntyre. Today we completed lesson four.  I will share more in depth about this little gem of a book next week Tuesday in Tuesday's Treasures.




Featured This Week
Look at these beautiful chalk pastel art creations created over at At Home: Where Life Happens.  Their inspiration comes from Pastels Plus Links to 100 FREE Tutorials


Your Turn

I invite you to take some photo's of your children's artistic pursuits put them in a post and link up with me I would love to come over and see the wonderful art your children have enjoyed doing.
