A Boy and his dog

Art in the Time of Corona Part IV

Kuba needed to create a rainbow based on the color wheel for art class.  Here's what he did. 

Art in the Time of Corona Part III

 

We decided to do a remake of Wayne Thiebaud's painting - Candies.

All of us colored sheets on 16 rolls of toilet paper.  

Then we photographed it.
It's amazing.  

Art in the time of Corona Part II

We had a pizza and painting party the other night with 2 other families.

All done on Zoom.  We had 2 ipads running so we were hooked up and online.

Then we ate pizza and we painted.

Our family painted 4 square pieces for an art show coming up.

The theme was water.

Here we are! 

The Ants are Coming One by One- Hurrah!

Anders wants to be an ant keeper.  He's been watching videos on a channel called, Ants Canada, and has decided this hobby is for him.  He's slowly gathering up what he needs, including building an inner terrarium and ant habitat -- using old coca-cola bottles and a lot of tubing.  He's waiting on some necessary things to come in the mail and then he is getting a small starter ant colony - with a queen.   Stay tuned for more.  This is a view of the beginning of his project. 

Coronavirus Part III - Keeping Busy

Today was the 5th Sunday of the corona virus lock-down.  The 1st Sunday of our Spring break.  We worked hard all day yesterday, cleaning out our barn, setting up our barn studio, and doing yard work at home - all day - just us.  We needed a play day.  And play we did.  We rode our bikes and our picnic down to the Intervale.  It was really fun to get out.  And - we saw about 200 other people who had the same idea.  So much for the stay at home orders!

 Kuba's art assignment for the week was to make a paper bag mask - with extra points for a photo of the whole family wearing a paper bag on their heads.  As the art teacher who assigned this, of course I had to make my own.  And there you have it - our gorgeous brown paper bag headed family.
