American Chronicles – The Art of Norman Rockwell

February 11, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

After touring the Provo City Center Temple we took the kids to the BYU Museum of Art to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit. WOW! I love Norman Rockwell and have since I was little. Joseph and I even tried to recreate a few of his paintings when we were dating. I’d forgotten all about that […]

Sun Light Catchers

There’s just something about the coming of spring that makes our hearts feel lighter. The sun shines brighter outside and though we still have stormy, rainy days we are beginning to have delicious warmer days too. Today is a bit colder and windy. To bring in some light and color we made sun light catchers. […]

Inspired by Beatrix Potter

The girls watched Miss Potter one Saturday afternoon. It is the story of Beatrix Potter, the author of the beloved and best-selling children’s book, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit.” Although not quite true to her life it was a fun movie to watch and did inspire some quick paintings from our resident artist, Brownie.

There’s just something about a nice thick paper that holds a pencil line well. It’s mesmerizing really. Whoever happens […]

Heart Maps

Heart maps. These are so much fun to create! I did this idea with my seminary students and had such a good time seeing their creations I thought I’d do it with my kids too. Draw a heart and divide it into sections. In each section draw or write something you love. Make it colorful! […]

Our Homeschool Journey: The extras – Music, Art, etc.

August 24, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

The extras have been just that….extras. Sometimes we get to them, many times we don’t, and sometimes we stumble upon them unexpectedly. Some years we have been better at doing the extras. We try to do art on Mondays, music on Fridays, and field trips on Wednesdays or something like that.  ☺ Here are the […]
