Museum – sculpture, The Dancer


I bet Sophie is pretty surprised to find a statue in the museum looks just like her! Sculptures can be made out of all different kinds of materials – wood, metal, ceramic, ice, fabric. They can be any size from tiny to huge. This statue looks like a famous statue by Edgar Degas called Little Dancer. He originally made the statue out of wax – and later 28 copies were made out of bronze. Click on the image below, or […]

American Gothic – our way!


American Gothic is a famous painting by Grant Wood. It’s probably one of the most recognized and parodied paintings right after the Mona Lisa.  In honor of the American 4th of July this year, Sophie and Sadie decided to get dressed up and pretend to be the painting.  I think they do pretty well!  A fun fact about this painting is that it is actually depicting a father and daughter.  I’ve always assumed it was a husband and wife.  You […]
