Art/ School projects

Katharine just finished a four week Geology block. Here is her illustration of Arthur's Seat near Edinburgh, Scotland, followed by a picture of the real thing. I think she did very well.





She also drew Fingal's Cave, and listened to parts of the music by Mendelsohn who was inspired to write music about the cave after visiting it. The coolest thing about the cave is that it is made of naturally formed hexagonal columns.



Here is an illustration of Lukas about "Rabia of Basra". The boys are enjoying learning about saints and heroes from around the world, and how faith can make a difference.



Lennon's random chalk board drawing: A poor man living in a small cottage in a forest, harvesting a giant turnip and wild strawberries.


Lukas drew a chalk picture of a gnome at night. I like the moon in the upper left hand corner a lot.


Below are clay models of Lord Shiva's Brahman bull Nandi. The boys learned about "Nandanar and Lord Shiva" this week, a legend from India. There is also an illustration of the story from Lukas' language arts lesson book.





"The Legend of Kun and Yu", a Chinese story of how dams and canals were first built in China. We made a paper mâché and bees wax model of the story.
