Ending our Month Spent with Wildflowers

I admit that wildflowers are quite possibly my favorite of all nature studies. I’m always in awe of God’s creativeness, beauty and majesty through such delicate little things like wildflowers. I’m also amazed at how each season presents me with new flowers that I’ve never noticed before – each with awesome characteristics that are different…

Degas and Tchaikovsky

For the last few weeks, we’ve been studying Degas and Tchaikovsky during our artist and composer time. For the study of Degas, we spent some time each Tuesday either reading a book about him, observing his artwork or doing an art project related to him. In studying Tchaikovsky, we took some time each week to listen to…

Fall Treescapes, Degas and Tchaikovsky, and 4-H
