I I just want to encourage you, from one homeschool mom to another, to keep that gift of hers in mind and draw her attention back to it, if and when she struggles with her schoolwork. My resident artist, (daughter Grace) brings beauty and enjoyment to our lives with her music, art, and storytelling, but she is a lousy student in the traditional sense. It can be a constant struggle to help her see God's blessing in the gift and not get too bogged down in the challenges that come with it. May you both continue to learn to lean on our Heavenly Father for guidance and praise Him for His goodness! :)Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-54747048530064240422010-03-19T14:55:34.877-05:002010-03-19T14:55:34.877-05:00Corryn follows in your footsteps -- she loves to c...Corryn follows in your footsteps -- she loves to create. You're right--this is the perfect time to start <i>Drawing with Children</i>. I used it with my kids and was astonished at some of the drawings they were able to achieve by following its concepts. There is, also, a follow-up book to it that goes on to introduce shading, perspective, etc. I believe it is called <i>Drawing with Older Children</i>. I'm not positive of the title.<br /><br />Corryn is doing a wonderful job!!!Nancihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201392451129484877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-24765836151234054352010-03-19T13:11:32.538-05:002010-03-19T13:11:32.538-05:00We just borrowed How to Draw Horses from the libra...We just borrowed How to Draw Horses from the library and Annie liked it! Thanks for the list of books! Annie also loves to draw...I'm in the planning stages of a post on how we do "Art Study" around here...I'm still learning the part of how we actually DO the art ourselves (I tend to be more crafty and not as artsy! So, the kids and I will learn together!), but we have been looking at and reading about Renoir (not any nudes, though ;) ) and Annie seems to enjoy it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291951073853426272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-43490165939002801102010-03-19T11:17:40.537-05:002010-03-19T11:17:40.537-05:00I'm excited to look these up!

I have trouble with stick people.<br /><br />Beautiful artwork Corynn!<br /> (darling baby to watch by the way!
