Just a few of the risks you take, letting first and second graders paint upside down! We were learning about Michelangelo, specifically the Sistine Chapel. We brainstormed lots of Bible "stories" and drew them. Then, we turned our best sketch into a huge "cartoon" to paint on the ceiling. This week, the kids have come in, and put on their tall boots, just like Michelangelo, and we crawl into the chapel (all the tables pushed together in the art room) with only a candle burning - because Michelangelo wouldn't have had electricity! And tape our cartoons on the ceiling to paint. So fun.
Here are some pictures from dinner at my birthday requested Sushi restaurant, Monsoon. Yum!
This last one is all the roomates - we just got a new one this week! She is a volunteer for the semester at the orphanage - awesome. So, this is me, Sarah, Anne Clair, and Kim - The Pink House!
Love the "paint on the ceiling" art...too much fun!

ReplyDeleteYou are making art come alive-(by painting on the ceiling in the dark). I just hope you make Christ come as alive to them! Hope you had a great birthday dinner. Monsoon sounded wonderful.
