Summer Zoom painting- Brontosaurus

 Good afternoon!

I hope you’re enjoying the beautiful weather. It’s been a spectacular day to be outside. 

Small skill start-

Today’s video was by a different artist on the same website. I chose it because we’re rapidly approaching the new school year and I wanted the kids to understand that even though she’s different and it could be scary or uncertain, you can learn great things from someone new. And maybe you like one teacher better than the other and that’s ok, but there is value in learning even if you don’t know what to expect from the new situation. 

Painting together-

Today we painted a brontosaurus, which was a real name of a dinosaur, then it wasn’t (umm, actually, that’s an apatosaurus), and now I’m pretty sure there is a sauropod known as a brontosaurus again. Love paleontology. Anyway, here are ours. 

Our verse is Job 40:15-18, since some scholars believe it may possibly be based on a sauropodian creature. (There is debate on the two creatures in Job and their actual existence vs mythology, don’t theology at me, bro. I just like the passage. The entirety of the “Who are you anyway?” speech by God is magnificent and humbling, as I guess it’s supposed to be.)

Look at the behemoth
Which I made along with you
And which feeds on grass like an ox
What strength it has in its loins,
What power in the muscles of its belly. 
Its tail sways like cedar;
The sinews of its thighs are close-knit
Its bones are tubes of bronze,

Its limbs like rods of iron

At home practice-

This week, I want you to try to make purple. Grab all your reds and blues and go to town. Make sure you label each color so you know the perfect combination for the purple project you have planned!

Shoot. Its sideways. Oh well….
