As the season prepares to shift toward the colorful days of autumn we are discovering bugs glorious bugs!!!
And to celebrate, the children have been drawing insects using Prisma pencils on black cardstock...
Creating insects from loose parts...
And recording observations in liquid water color and graphite on mixed media paper.

Observational Drawing:
Harvest season is ramping up and the children are always eager to help prepare natures bounty for a gustatory delight. This week we focused on apples!
And the drawings communicate the time spent getting to know each subject.
XP Corner:
An early emphasis on Observational Drawing helps us to slow down and really look at the subject with curiosity and precision.

Cooking:
The studio is so glad to welcome BJ back for a year of collaborative cooking!!!
Today we made apple-mixed fruit butter and it was DELICIOUS!!!
Each child is bringing home some butter to share, but if you’d like to make some too the recipe is super easy! We mostly used apples, with a few peaches, strawberries and even a plum added in (all but the strawberries came from trees at school or from home), add sugar to taste, a little water, some lemon juice, a dash of salt, a bit of cloves and a good shake of cinnamon. Cook low and slow for a long while and then purée. Bon appétit!
