My Light has Color....lot's of Color!!

I'm definitely one of those Artsy People, that I'm sure You'll find peddling my latest Paintings of  Trees at a Local craft Fair 20 years from now. :) But, right now I'm Happy to be crafting away with my Kiddos in the Comfort of my own Homeschool Room.  And even though I was born with a glue gun in hand and my first actual word was Van Gogh I still have a lot to learn about technique and style and the History of many Famous Artists.  In the past I've used a little of this and a little of that.  But, to find a program like See the Light where you mix a Quality Project, History and the Lords word.  Is this Christmas or What????

With a love for the Lord Jesus Christ, a heart for children, and a passion for ministry, Dave and Pat Holt bring you the SEE THE LIGHTteam:

The SEE THE LIGHT team is dedicated to bringing scripture and biblical principles to viewers in a fresh, engaging way. . . and promising to teach some exciting art skills along the way!

There are 9 Famous Artists to learn about:

• LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY
• WAYNE THIEBAUD
• HENRI ROUSSEAU
• GEORGES SEURAT
• GEORGIA O’KEEFFE
• MARC CHAGALL
• EDGAR DEGAS
• WINSLOW HOMER
• VINCENT VAN GOGH  

We picked Louis Comfort Tiffany to Review and I'm so thrilled that we did.  The History behind the conception of the Famous "Tiffany" lamp was so Interesting to learn about with the Kiddos.   And watching the Kids hear about how Beautiful Stained Glass Windows are actually made was delightful.  You know we go through the day seeing Beauty all around us, but when you learn how it came to be it completes the package in my mind.

For Our Project we chose the Iris as our Focal point in the picture....Our "Stained glass" Picture.  I was Surprised how Kaden paid close attention when Pat was Speaking.  He loved watching the Videos!!  The 1st lesson was on how to Sketch the Focal point of Our Picture.

 The 2nd lesson covered coloring in the Focal point and how to blend the colors.  The 3rd and 4th discussed making the background, contrasting colors and then finally adding the black for the "Stained Glass" look.
