In the area of fine arts, Vignettes are quickly rendered, impressionistic scenes that focus on one moment or give an impression about a character or a setting. You can use any medium to create a vignette but remember, you're traveling, so consider mobility.
Andrew's art class met at the beach on Saturday to draw vignettes. It was an opportunity I didn't want him to miss inspite of me being sick. Here are my "vignettes" of them drawing vignettes.

This would be an awesome family project for those of you who homeschool. You don't have to travel to the beach. It could be a field, a playground, zoo or park. Make sure everybody has some sketch paper.
Spend about 5 minutes at each stop. Make a few stops and point out interesting things to draw. When you get home, break out the watercolors, colored pencils, crayons and then fill in the color. It is a lot of fun.
I'll have to find & scan some of the vignettes at a later date. Very fun way to spend the afternoon. When we got back to the picnic tables in the shade, we all had a water/snack break. We continued cracking jokes & drawing the things around us. I even sketched out the condo next to the parking lot. Lots of fun.
