Max's Art

This is actually from a math lesson on symmetery.  Max likes that it looks like a frog!

Self portrait in the style of Rembrandt



We did this one on our own after reading a story about Ella Fitzgerald that has illustrations like Henri Matisse's collages that he did in the later years of his life.



This is Max's reproduction of Van Gogh's Starry Night

Another Matisse recreation
In case you can't tell it is an alien alligator.

A painting in the style of Picasso's Blue Period

This is a recreation of an Impressionist painter named Berthe Morisot

One of the things that I love about Classical Conversations is the exposure that Max gets to art and music.  He just finished 6 weeks of art and loved it!  They study an artist and then have a chance to create something similar to that artist's work.  Here are his creations!
