Once again Samuel complains as I lead him to the sofa for Art class. We look and study Portrait of a Lady in Yellow by Alesso Baldovinetti, Three-Faced mask, Nigeria, and Senecio by Paul Klee. We are studying Faces and how they are portrayed differently in art.
Throughout the 5 minutes of class, Samuel is disgruntled and disinterested. Then I read the instructions for the activity to follow and he becomes an attentive student. I bring out the canvas, tempera paints, new brushes, a pencil and the sound of Mozart's music in the background...
His final words to me? "Mommy, NOW I feel like an artist. I LOVE art class. It is my favorite!"
