The girls in Ms.Dorman’s 5th class have been learning about the Renaissance period in History.
We have been reading about Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo . The girls created their very own Mona Lisa Parody based on their own past times.
We also learned about Michelangelo and how he spent 4 years on his back painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. We practiced drawing while on our backs (lying under our tables) to see how it must have felt for Michelangelo when he painted the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel! It was tricky!!
We also learned about how homes were decorated in Renaissance times with mosaic tile pictures.
We then created our own mosaics from paper.
It was a fun way to learn about the Renaissance.
