My favorite bird to see in the wintertime is the c My favorite bird to see in the wintertime is the cardinal because while most other colorful birds have flown further south, this brilliant red bird remains around our home, pecking merrily away at our bird feeders!

While Leonardo Da Vinci was best known for his pai While Leonardo Da Vinci was best known for his paintings, such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, he was also a scientist and inventor, and spent countless hours sketching up different plans and blueprints for the things he learned about or contraptions he wanted to invent. In this homeschool art lesson, we create our own “blueprints” in a similar style. Choose a topic that interests you (we have chosen space travel), and make it your own! Find this lesson and more like it in our Art Escapades course! 🚀 #masterpiecesociety #homeschoolartschool #homeschoolartlesson #leonardodavinciartlesson #artescapades

Beatrix Potter's birthday is coming up this Monday Beatrix Potter's birthday is coming up this Monday! Why not celebrate with this Peter Rabbit lesson from our LiterARTure course! Peter was a naughty little rabbit who ran into Mr. McGregor’s garden after he was told not to, and after eating lots of vegetables, found himself on the run from Mr. McGregor himself! In this lesson, we’re going to recreate a scene straight out of Beatrix Potter’s beloved children’s story.
When King Lear gives up his throne, he realizes th When King Lear gives up his throne, he realizes that two of his daughters have tricked him and stolen everything he has. With nothing left, King Lear flees and wanders the heath, slowly descending into madness. He and his third daughter, Cordelia, lead a desperate push to take it all back, but it ends in tragedy. For this lesson, however, Olivia chose to focus on something more lighthearted, using a quote from the King’s jester.
Paul Klee was an artist during the Cubist movement Paul Klee was an artist during the Cubist movement, pioneered by artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Inspired by their styles, Klee began to experiment with geometric forms, fragmented compositions, and multiple perspectives in his artwork. What sets Klee apart from other Cubist artists is his distinctive approach to color and form. While Cubism typically emphasizes monochromatic tones and angular shapes, Klee infused his paintings with vibrant hues and organic, flowing lines. This playful contrast of geometric and organic elements creates a dynamic pieces that invite viewers to explore the relationship between form and expression. In this Selfie Portraits lesson, we paint our own self portraits in the Cubist style like Paul Klee.
