Back in the days before the camera was king, fashions were portrayed to the masses through artfully illustrated drawings. Somebody has collected a series of these beautiful sketches, documenting the changes in western fashion all the way from 1784 to 1970, when the artform finally became obsolete.

It's time for my annual post on our homeschool curriculum choices. This is for preschool, 5th grade and 3rd grade.
This is how the faith is passed on. Our deepest, most important beliefs are taught to our children. The world is loud and full of folly, especially these days, but “train a child in the way he should go, and it will not depart him in his old age.” (Proveerbs 22:6) I look back on my own wayward youth, and I am so grateful for the teaching I received as a child. Karl Gebhardt From (1860–1917) came from an artistic family. His father and uncle were professional artists, and both he and his brother became professional artists. Gebhardt studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and later went to Rome to study art. He is associated with the Munich School, which had a carefully realistic style. He specialized in history paintings, but his oeuvre also includes interiors in an academic style. The title in German: Mutter mit kleinem Mädchen beim Gebet im Herrgottswinkel. ‘Herrfottswinkel’ means “corner of a room with a crucifix.” Oil on canvas; 37x30.7 inches. About 1917. It sold at auction in 2017. (source: mutualart.com) Perfect gift for a Catholic Mother or Grandmother. ** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border around the image. Approximately 0.5" wide for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11, 1.6" for 11x14, and 1.75" for 13x17 and 16x20. For the two poster sizes, 18x24 and 24x36, we use 0.5" borders. We do this because the ratio of the rectangle of the art almost never matches the rectangle of the paper, and if it did happen to match one size, it would not match the others. Most fine art printers do this because otherwise they’d have to crop the art or warp it to make it fit the paper. The border looks good. It gives the picture a faux matted appearance. There is almost always a little more border either on the left-right sides, or the top-bottom, depending on whether the ratio of the art is wider or taller than the paper. We make Archival Quality fine art prints: – Acid-free paper – Archival pigments – Cardboard backer for sizes 11x14 and less. – Above story of the art – Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal-clear bag. – Rated to last 200+ years without fading if kept dry and out of the direct sun.

Let's get our art history on.
Alex Van Gelder’s portraits of Louise Bourgeois in the final years of her life show a theatrical spirit defying a fading body.

Before I announce the winner of the 2 books I thought I would introduce 2 new art projects based on the work of Louise Bourgeois, a sculptor known for these huge "spiders". (titled Maman) For her they were a nod to her mother, who like a weaver held things together, "was deliberate, neat, clever, patient, indispensable and as useful as a spider" Incidentally these projects were inspired by the "Let's Make Some Great Art" book by Marion Deuchars which we are giving away today. My kids are quite intrigued by them and they kinda fit with Halloween. The first project is a painting / pastel resist. The second project is a papier mache model of "Maman". First Project:Paint/pastel resist MATERIALS REQUIRED: - wc paper - pencil and eraser - disk tempera or wc paint - paintbrush - oil pastels - eye dropper - fine sharpie - reference photos of Ms. Bourgeois's work PROCEDURE: Tape down your paper to your art board. Sketch in a horizon line and then start adding a city skyline. You want to get the buildings quite small to allow lots of room for your gigantic spider. With oil pastels go over the outlines of the buildings, add some windows and a few details. Paint in your sky. Paint in your buildings. We used a grey wash. The pastel will resist the paint. Then paint in the ground. Mix up some water into your black paint to get an inky consistency. using your eye dropper suck up that paint and place it where you want the body of your spider to be. Using a thin paintbrush pull the paint down to make a squiggly leg. You don't want it too perfect here. You can scrumble it a bit as you go. Scrumbling means twisting and turning that paintbrush as you are applying paint. Let dry and then you can add some details. My boys were insistent upon giving the spiders red eyes and having people reacting to these large spiders walking thru their city. Project 2: Papier Mache Spider MATERIALS REQUIRED: - small paper plate - wire - hockey, or masking tape - 1/2 of a white pipe cleaner - paper towels cut into strips - white glue, recycled container, water - paint PROCEDURE: Take your paper plate, turn upside down and poke 8 holes with a sharp pencil. Space them out around the edge. Cut 4 pieces of wire about 14 or 15 inches or so. Starting with 1 piece thread both ends into 2 of the holes. Turn the plate over and twist the 2 ends together. Then take your hockey or masking tape and wrap around the ends. This just keeps those sharp ends from poking anyone. Repeat this with the remaining 3 pieces. Take your 1/2 pipe cleaner and wind amongst the wires at the top forming the body of the spider. Put some wax or parchment paper down on your work space. An old plastic bag will also work. Mix up your glue and water into your recycled container in a one to one ratio. Using the paper strips, dip into glue mixture and start winding around the wire. It helps to start at the top and work your way down. It also helps immensely if you always wind in the same direction, (that way you don't untwist the last strip you just put on!) Cover the plate as well. Put in a warm dry spot to dry. Ours dried in about 24 hrs. Paint with tempera or acrylic. There you have it a large "Maman" coming your way. So on to the giveaway for: "My Even More Wonderful World of Fashion" by Nina Chakrabarti and "Let's Make Some Great Art" by Marion Deuchars. I had 126 entries,( comments, facebook, emails) whew!.... and the winner chosen by random drawing ......... ........was 57 in the comment section (not counting doubles) which works out to be Juise: who said "What fun looking books! Thanks for the chance. :) " Juise, if you could send me your shipping address at [email protected] I can arrange to get those books out to you (lucky duck)! Thanks everyone for entering and don't despair there will be another giveaway very soon. That's it for now, make sure you try a "Maman" spider. I am absolutely swamped getting ready for the Early Childhood Education Conference in Kananaskis next week. I'm presenting 2 workshops so hope to see you there. This is what my workspace is looking like these days! later
