Visual Manna has been serving the homeschool community since 1992 with a comprehensive, joyful, and Christ-centered curriculum. We have a program appropriate for every age group.
In this art tip we are going to explore the beautiful flying flower; the butterfly. There is a saying “Just
when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.” Butterflies spread beauty wherever they go. We are going to look at some famous butterfly pictures by master artists and then talk about some fun activities for older students and younger students. Many times in art we always use a white background. Recently I went into a discount store and noticed that the scrapbook tablets were
very inexpensive. One had shades of gray, brown, black and white and the paper had a fine tooth or texture to it. Enjoy this complimentary lesson on butterflies! Click HERE for the lesson.
