A splash of color on the first day

So it's been too long since I've posted, but today was the official start of our journey. Caleb's first day of homeschool, Kindergarten. He had a blast, more than that, he was soooo proud of himself. So proud that he even wanted to call grandma and tell her about his accomplishments. Of course I'm beaming with pride, he tackled all his work today with more confidence than I've ever seen from him. Writing, drawing and any sort of craft has always repelled him in a way I could never understand myself, coming from an art and creative writing background. But today...he had me smiling. As a bonus, I had fun, and I had way more patience than expected. I'm sure this is just a honeymoon stage. I'll enjoy it while it lasts. I'll share the art project we did, it is yours for the using, I created the worksheets myself.

Our First Art Lesson
First we studied some basic primary and secondary color information I found at lessonsnips.com click here to download.
After getting down the basics, he painted his own wheel using the colored worksheet for reference. The finished product is now on display on our Frigidaire (also pictured below).
