Yes, I know, two posts in a row on The Oscars might seem too much, but trust me this one is well worth it. Costume design, clothes, shapes and dresses that capture the beauty of the shining starts …
IDEA BOX on Pinterest Ian is going into 3rd grade and this is the curriculum we'll be using coming school year. Take a trip around the world and explore diverse countries and cultures while learning geography and being challenged by true stories of missionaries. Our easy-to-teach unit study includes a teacher's manual with daily lesson plans and all books for Bible, geography, science, art, and music. Supplement these with picture books and information books from the library for the countries you study. Add math and language arts for a complete curriculum. (My Fathers' World ECC) I think it's super fun!! Here is my plan and some simple add-ons. Spelling: Spelling Power English Language Primary Language Lessons (continued from last year) After every country, will print a letter paper with country icon on and child will write a letter. Math Singapore Math (finish 2A fr last year, maybe 2B and a bit of 3A?) Music Wee Sing around the world Bible We'll be reading through Matthew and memorizing verses from there. We'll be using copywork from here And we'll be using this very useful app for reinforcing bible memory (I added the ECC verses as "My Verses") AND, I made a bookmark for all the verses to read for Matthew. This way, I may ask boy to do his devotions using this bible reading plan.(this pic is not updated. I did add in the missing alpha) Mother Tongue (Foreign Language) I'll rather call Mandarin Chinese our Mother Tongue, than F.L. Just to make me feel better. =) After a lot of thinking, struggling, we have decided that the children need to learn ZhuYin after all. ZhuYin because it's a different set of characters and will not be confused with the Roman letters of Hanyu Pinyin. (I am not ZhuYin trained though, so I'll have to learn on my own) And we need to learn ZhuYin so that the children can start reading right away. In this way, they will be willing to learn Chinese easier, instead of learning to read many many characters before they can read. I found a great resource here for learning the Chinese Phonetics (ZhuYin) And this blog has a great pictorial flashcards/worksheets free for printing! Between these two sites (and some wonderful friends) I should be able to teach the kids (AND ME) ZhuYin, in preparation for reading and learning Chinese characters! I'm very excited! The guide to the sounds here Want the font with zhuyin on the side? (super cool!) go here Making things fun I made a travel memory page (something like a scrapbook page for every country) There were many good ones out there, I just made one that fits us. Download here : Memory Book I also made a Geography Vocabulary page. Mamajenn has a good one, but I think one full page for one vocab is a bit too much for us, so I made it into 2 in one page. Download here: Geog Terms And I thought of (let's hope it'll succeed!) to change our dining table (a.k.a school table)' centerpiece for every country (simple things like the country's colors/flag, the finished crafts we are going to do...landmark pictures...) We are doing the whole passport/stamp/flag sticker deal. 2 tag-a-longs will be very thrilled. And here's where you find the customized air tickets and here for the stamp on the passport Go to idea box on my Pinterest Page (that should be updated regularly) Customizable music sheets Introduction Interesting 3 min song clip of the overview of the 7 continents.

(Marilyn Monroe by Dorothy Jeakins) If you tuned into last night's Academy Awards arrivals you probably spotted the large costume sketches along the entire red carpet. Many were iconic sketches by legendary costume designer Edith Head but others were not as recognizable. I quickly jumped onto the Oscars website and found a bunch of costume designers sketches featured from the Oscar's official "Academy Collection." The sketch shown above is from the 1960 film Let's Make Love, which was Marilyn Monroe's second-to-last film. (Liza Minnelli by Theadora Van Runkle) I'm always impressed by how well costume designers can truly capture characters features and personalities in their costume illustrations, its something I try to achieve with my custom bridal illustrations. This next costume sketch (above) is a example of that. Its of Liza Minnelli playing the part of Francine Evans in Martin Scorsese's 1977 musical New York, New York. (Elizabeth Taylor by Helen Rose) This last costume design sketch just may be my favorite. The pose, the gown, and the overall rendering is simply beautiful. This classic old Hollywood illustration is of Elizabeth Taylor by costume designer Helen Rose for the 1954 MGM film Rhapsody. The rendering of the draping on this gown is stunning. (All illustrations from The Academy Collection. Check out more costume sketches from the Academy Collection here.)
