Art and Limericks Combined

Jesse was working on a portrait and learning how to blend flesh colors so it looked real. Let’s practice on a snowman, I said, as I started mixing blue, red, yellow, and white to make a nice flesh color. I painted the outline of a snow man and filled it in and started blending in darker colors so the snowman looked rounded out. We ended up with what looked like a flesh colored snow man, that we decided to call “the naked snowman”. There were others sitting around the table. What a perfect topic and time for a limerick. We came up with rhyming words together and then put sentences to go with them. We posted it for everyone to enjoy.

There once was a naked snowman
Who wanted to get a suntan
He went out in the sun
And thought he’d have fun
But it wasn’t a very good plan.
