Art Museum Field Trip

Click to play this Smilebox collage: T.O.B.Y. Art Field Trip

We took a field trip yesterday with our T.O.B.Y. CO-OP to Natural History / Art Museum... I will be going into further detail of this as we are able to study more of what we saw... There was so much to take in, and this little smilebox really does not do it justice... Just wanted to share our day, and remind myself to further study more of what we saw :D

Here Jacob is notebooking about the African Rounder Roof Ornament... The architect of this time was round houses, and would remain for over a century!

You can see it at the top of the house...

This was the Claude Monet art work that both Halea and Jacob studied last week. It had a fancy alarm that sounded if we got to close ;D

So pretty (so is the picture :D )

This was a beautiful sculpture from the Asian Display...

This was from the African Display... kitchen ware...

again from the Asian...

This is something I want to study more for myself... from a round church in Ethiopia... such vibrant colors...

Do you see the door frame from this African village home? Hand carved, and very well preserved...

This is just a few highlights, I'll share more later :D I am interested to find out more about what each of them want to further study... :D

I am super exited because my DH picked up a blue ray dvd player this weekend, (our old one died) and it connects to the internet.. somehow... and I can view my Picasa pictures on the tv... which means great in home picture study!!! Yay!

A BIG Thanks to Miss Michelle, for researching this and putting this field trip together :D

Learn for Life!

We are learning for life, not for school!
Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. ~Will Durant
"He is educated who can find out what he does not know." ~George Simmel (1875)
"Let My teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants." ~Deut. 32:2
“Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, you people in whose heart is My law: Do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but My righteousness will be forever, and My salvation from generation to generation.” ~Isa 51:7-8

Simple Faith

The entire Word of YHWH, both “Old” and “Renewed” Covenants, is the instruction of a loving and gracious Father to His children. It is the perfect and unchanging law that gives us liberty (Ps. 119:44-45; James 2:24-26). Nothing will pass from the whole word of YHWH, until everything that will happen, has happened. (Matt 5:17-20). YHWH’s people delight in His instruction (Ps. 1:2). The Torah was not given for salvation. It is the loving instruction of how a redeemed people should live. Yeshua kept His Fathers commandments and lived in His love. We are instructed to walk as He walked (1 Jn. 2:3-6). We are to obey YHWH’s commandments and to hold to the testimony of Yeshua (Rev. 12:17).
