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.
