Artist Study: Beatrix Potter

Peter Rabbit and his mischievous garden pals are well known in our house, so we did a little background study on the author and illustrator, Beatrix Potter.

We started with a wee bio about her nature studies and pets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYPkH8gPDps
We also looked at her home and it's influence in her illustrations.

Then I asked O to choose an animal to research.

Since we don't own any pigs, we scoured our home library for sources.
