I was all set up for my homeschool open day today ...
But only one couple arrived
So, I thought I'd make creative use of the time, and got all my boys into the kitchen for some fun drawing exercises!
A friend of mine has been teaching me from the book by Betty Edwards called "Drawing on the Right Side of your Brain"
It is fascinating - she gives you line drawings which you have to copy .... upside-down!
You do other contour drawings (for example, drawing your own hand) ..... without looking at the page at all!!
And without lifting your pencil off the page either!
So, I got all the boys doing it to the sounds of some gorgeous classical music
What a lovely morning we had!
PS. Now you can see the REAL colour of my kitchen walls! :o)
