Archer's art-o-matic

So this year I've teaching art to my children and two other children. It has been fun. I will try to post some of what we've done. In science we talked about kinetic energy and potential energy. Before they forgot everything they learned about it I decided to teach on kinetic art. I got the idea from the dickblick website.
Here's Archer's

The girl that cried wolf again

As a parent, I have told my children if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.  I have also told them to be careful not to boast.  In a country that has free speech I have felt it unsafe to voice my thoughts. I mean really is there such thing as freedom of speech anywhere. Once we send our thoughts out there they are out there. Especially on the internet. I've said this before, but I'm going to try again. I'm not going to make anymore announcement than this. I will just let it happen organically and see what happens. Well maybe after a time I will let more people know I'm blogging again.
