We have taken a break from our usual artist study to do study the art of Ancient Rome. As our spine, I used Ancient Roman Art
It was a simple study, just reading a few chapters each day and spending time poring over the art in the oversized art books from the public library.
Sprite looked through last year’s art calendar for examples of art from Ancient Rome. Then she summarized the high points on a notebooking page.
Normally with any art study, Sprite tries her hand at making a reproduction. For Ancient Rome, she chose to sketch a gladiator from the very masculine book by Richard Watkins
For history, we’ll be moving into Byzantium soon.
Looks like a great study!
Thanks, Jimmie…Posting this to my Homeschool Art Board for future references!
Another great study! And, Sprite is doing a terrific job drawing the gladiator! We watched Gladiators this week with my husband – a movie he owns but I had no desire to watch. It is rated R for extreme violence. Wow…it was tough to watch! It was such a violent time. I don’t really recommend the movie, but most of the kids in Alex’s class had watched it and they are studying Roman times… and, Alex and her dad enjoyed it!
