We spent our short week as Michelangelo.  

We read that he created his paintings on walls, and painted a famous ceiling.

We laid on our backs and imagined what it might be like to paint a ceiling. What would we paint?

Aaron: The sky.

Efraim: People.

Kian: A big castle. 

To experience painting upside down, we used a table as our ceiling. 

Our playhouse is being transformed into the Sistine Chapel.

 Michelangelo was a painter and a sculptor.

We looked at some of his sculptures, and then created our own.

Morah Katie: Efraim what are you sculpting?

Efraim:  A mama and baby.

Morah Katie: Is the clay soft or hard?

Tori: It is soft and hard.

Morah Katie: Can you imagine using hammers and chisels to break pieces of stone of large rocks?

Noah: That would be a lot of work.
