It’s not the Toreador, but…

We are now studying early ancient Greece: the Cycladic, Minoan, Mycenaean, and Trojan cultures.  The Minoans who lived on Crete had very distinctive art works, and one method they used a lot of was the fresco.  So today G, C, and L created their own frescoes.

Here is C, starting to draw his image on his plaster:

And here he is almost finished:

Here is G, working on his (he painted a cheetah): 

Here is L’s finished flower fresco:

(Then of course I had to break out the paper so that S and J could paint also!)

    Very cool! We did frescos once when we were doing ancient history, but they didn’t turn out as well as theirs did. They did a terrific job.

    What a great idea. Wonder why I never thought of doing that??? I am so not crafty.
