Artist of the Year...
This week we will introducing our Artist for the Year (in Kindergarten), John James Audobon. We learn that he is a student and lover of nature and came to be known as the "man who drew birds". We will take a good long look at his mallard duck picture. We will also do our very first picture study of McCloskey's drawing of ducks on Thursday and then a reproduction drawing.
