Max immediately identified with Durand's painting which shows fellow Hudson River School artist Thomas Cole and poet William Cullen Bryant in the Catskills. He noticed the stick and conjectured that the two men were having a lively conversation. So he devoted a journal entry to sharing the conversation between these two kindred spirits.
It brings to mind images of a project I did with Kindergarten children on the idea of seeing. I asked, How do we see? Do we see with more than our eyes? What does “seeing” look like?
This is not the happiest beginning to our An Art Work A Day series, but the painting stirred something profound in my soul and it seemed a wonderful vehicle for discussing how children are affected by divorce. Though I love my stepmother, I remember vividly feeling despondent and despairing at my father's wedding.

Roundabouts are all the rage in Romania. Share the wiki with your child (it's pretty hefty) and encourage them to journal about roundabouts.
Make a chance collage inspired by Jean Arp.

Carla Gibson Did you paint this, @alina coryell?
alina coryell I wish Carla. John Kelly, a family friend, painted it.
Carla Gibson It's beautiful, and I remember feeling the same way. (But I was forced to wear a pink cowgirl outfit). :P
alina coryell It's complicated. I love the new people in my life, but there is something so backwards about a little girl preparing her father for HIs wedding...
