This weekend work, fun, family time and school all came together for a really enjoyable afternoon at the Minnetonka Art Center<\/a>. A family friend had a piece in the gallery show “About Face” running this month there. I was also writing about the show for Hmong Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We had planned on the whole family going but Proeun wasn’t feeling well and Two stayed with him. So the girls all came with me. I had planned on just working and having the girls come for company but I was happy to discover a really awesome teaching opportunity. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The museum had set up a learning activity for the children. They were all given clip boards and asked to notice the different eye, nose, mouth and chin shapes on the portraits in the exhibit. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Avril took her work very seriously, carefully recording the shapes she liked. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then they could pick from one of 3 different heads and put their faces together on it. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mavis even got into it with a little help.<\/p>\n

Another activity we worked on was guessing what media (camera, paint, charcoal and pastels or digital) were used to make the pictures. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I couldn’t resist getting an art book with prompts for 365 Things to Draw and Paint<\/a>, The children have really enjoyed it and it helps mommy out coming up with ideas. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
