A budding artist...

We are using the Story of the World 3 and we are pretty close to start of the book and Mary Queen of Scots... so an artist that be are learning about is Rembrandt. We read a biography on him and looked at many of his paintings. So my kids had an assignment to paint or draw like Rembrandt. He is an artist known for his self portraits or portraits of real life people so Emily decided to draw Kate. Kate willingly posed for her and it took about 30 minutes with all the giggleing I think!

So here is Kate posing, I too the exact veiw that Emily was seeing.



And here is Emilys art work...






I was pretty impressed!
