Venetian Masks Type History Project

This week the 3Gs made festival masks that might somewhat resemble Venetian party masks. It was a project for last week and the history chapters about France where King Louis the 16th and his wife were ruling a poor people of France from Marseilles.  We also drew a daily scene from our home along with the Artistic Pursuits lesson about the French artist Millet. The initial sketch was done lightly with a pencil and then today traced with water color pencils and water applied to blend colors. The left picture is from our school room of a beautiful green chair. The center picture is of the stairway. The right picture is of Purple the Hippo in an orange box who also sits on the stairway as the guard squirrel looks on.
