When in Rome . . . create art like the Romans do! This week, we started our studies of Ancient Rome. Both the Upper Grammar and Lower Grammar classes created beautiful mosaics, in the style of the Romans. The Upper Grammar class made theirs out of foam squares and cut outs. The Lower Grammar class used clay and beans to make unique designs! Both classes discussed the early period of Roman history. They focused on the founding of Rome, the legends and mythology of Rome, the gods they worshipped and the styles of architecture and art from this period of history. The Five in a Row kids read "Harold and the Purple Crayon". It's the tale of a toddler who is lead on an amazing journey of discovery, armed only with his imagination and an over-sized purple crayon! The kids then had a great time making their own imaginative art out of purple colored shapes.
