Adventures in Art

This week in art class the students traveled to Italy with the fabulous Mrs. Hertle!  They learned about Michelangelo and his painting of the Sistine Chapel.  Then the students had the opportunity to practice being Michelangelo.  Mrs. Hertle had papers taped under the table and the students used art sticks to draw on the paper.  They were able to see just how difficult it was to create art from this vantage point.  Thankfully they did not stay under their tables working for 4 years as Michelangelo did.  They were back in America at FKE when I came to pick the kids up.  Each of them was smiling ear to ear!  They had such a good time and learned so much.  Mrs. Hertle shared some pictures with me that I will post below.  I continue to be impressed with all the things they do in class with her.  What a fun and engaging lesson!
