This week's art medium is working gold leaf, or in our case aluminum foil;) Ben painted lots of people with shiny eyes, Noah designed a crown with shiny jewels, James drew out and painstakingly used many tiny pieces of foil to create a Battleship game board. Audrey continued with her abstract art theme. We are having so much fun learning about new artists, their works and the different mediums they used in a time before craft stores.
We have been trying to get to the Portland Science Center to see the Space and Robot Zoo exhibit for months and were afraid we were going to miss it if we didn't go before our upcoming vacation to Seattle. Last week Gabe had a day off, so we all hopped in the car and went. All of the kids have been really interested in space from both the PBS special about the year aboard the International Space Station and the new children's show "Ready, Jet, Go" which is all about space exploration. They were thrilled to learn more about space and see some of the things they have been thinking and talking about in person. James still doesn't have closure about which planet bumped into Neptune to cause it to rotate on it's axis sideways, but he was happy to have closure on some other questions;)
