Barb gave us this week’s theme ~
Coffee Mug
It’s our Fine Arts Friday – our favorite day of the week!
Grab a cup of coffee and join us …
Smell the fresh coffee beans lying on my tray … my coffee mug still-life waiting to be sketched …
I am reading the story of Michelangelo by Diane Stanley aloud.
Even my 13-year-old high schooler stops working on her physical science lesson, and listens …
Then I play The Story of Chopin in Words and Music by VOX Music 
Masters and we all listen to Chopin’s biography and the music of this famous composer fills our room …
and we all sketch …
Miss.L10 sketched her mug and used water-color pencils and colored her sketch.
Miss.K13, pencilled this sketch. 
She was very casual about spending Fine Arts time with us.
I love Charlotte Mason’s approach in our homeschooling, and even though both my high schoolers have “opted out” of our fine arts and nature study, I sense that because they are immersed in a rich atmosphere of classical music and fine arts, they appreciate it … even if it is expressed casually … like today!
I penned my sketch, adding details as the Chopin CD draws to the end.
Ah … coffee, great art, beautiful classical music … and sketching.
What a wonderful Friday!
See you at the slide show!
Blessings,
Nice work!
