This is what our artful morning resulted in:
We first started with a bit of dancing, to shake off the cob webs…
Then following the theme of dots and pointillism, Boy made a painting of an explosion of fireworks…
And I, unable to follow my own theme, went off in a weird way, as usual…
Who is homescholing who, I often wonder…

It is nice way to start your day with beautiful colors
That sounds like a lovely start to the day. I do think one of the advantages of homeschooling must surely be how much the educators learn from being so child-centred with the education.
Oh yes! I’m learning so much all the time :) kids are great teachers :) and they are so insightful and creative… I have gained a lot of confidence, when I started art all over again along side Boy back whe he was a toddler. It was very inspiring to see him immersed in the process without caring much about the end result :) he would draw a blue circle with two smaller circles at the bottom and would say proudly that he just drew a blue car :) it was very liberating for me to free myself from the weight of things having to look good or pretty or … :)
What a great day you must have had! If only regular school had been more like this… Maybe you should have a day where Boy is officially the teacher and see how you get on!
