Ee Egg Tempera



Today we made paint out of egg yolks and pigment, known as egg tempera. Egg tempera is one of the oldest mediums of painting said to date back to prehistoric times. The kids separated their own eggs, and mixed their own pigment. We got some rich colors, and made some great work that will be displayed at the Spring Salon. My dog totally ate one of the paintings while they were drying. Sorry about that, it will for sure get redone.

Ee Edvard Munch
The Scream

Today we talked about the mystery of this awesome painting by Edvard Munch (1863-1944). We made our own page of things that make us scream (cut out from newspaper ads). The top things that made the kids scream were:
limes, make up, jewelry, more make up, race cars, video games, more make up, couches, new shoes, broccoli, and lip stick.
(My apologies to the little chicken that found a bra and undies ad. I thought I had those all taken out.)

Lava Girl!
Rr Rococo
Today we talked about Rococo, an 18th century highly decorative French interior style. In Rococo, fancy is IT! Everything was silver, gold, and swirly, and very ornate.
We made our own Rococo rooms at The Studio, complete with glitter, Rococo style; furniture, frescoes, chandelier, and paintings, by one of the most well known Rococo artist Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732-1806)
