Michelangelo

This morning our history was about some of the great artists during the Renaissance period. So, what do you do when you are a homeschooler and you want to show your kids how Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel? You have them do it, of course!

Here are pictures from my kids painting a "ceiling" while lying on their backs like Michelangelo. They had a ball and realized that paint dripped onto their faces, it was difficult, and their arms got tired. Imagine doing that for 4 years on much higher off the ground! That makes you appreciate it that much more.

Please ignore the PJ pants. We were out of town this weekend, and laundry is a bit behind in the Hughes house:-)
