Renaissance Afternoon of the Arts

We had our Unit Celebration for our 2nd unit Sunday afternoon. We're halfway through Unit 3 now but it was fun to remember all we studied before the Christmas break.
The older students performed "While Shakespeare Slept" and one of his sonnets. Some students also gave short presentations on some of the artists of the time. They all did a wonderful job!
We then enjoyed a "reception at the art gallery" that featured many of our students' art work. Here are our four with their masterpieces.
That's E's artwork at the very top of the photo.
C's artwork is just above her head.

B painted the one at the top left (blue wavy lines in it) of his friend, Toby. While B was painting Toby, Toby was painting B. I think it's the one just above B's head.

H and her friend, Kaitlyn, painted each other. H's painting is the one in the middle of the photo (red top with black dots). I think the painting of H is the one in the bottom right corner of the photo.

Here's Dad looking at C and E's books that contain most of their work up until now.
It was a nice afternoon celebrating all the students had learned. Thanks to all the moms who made it possible!

We're finishing up Renaissance in the next week or so too. It's Guild Week next week which I think wraps up the study.

Nice works of art all of you! :) I was not able to see Brock's though, the picture didn't come up.

Hope all is well with you and that Hannah's arm is getting better!

Love
Aunt Anne Grethe
