Sandro Botticelli was the artist of choice today and a good choice it was. The children had an interesting time painting pictures on pieces of round paper with no flat top edge to be the sky.
Katie came home from work early and made the photos for us.
I started reading From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler to Thomas, which he found very amusing. It was a childhood favorite of mine, too. The setting is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and I thought it would be an interesting read while we're learning about Renaissance art.
Any Sesame Street movie is always appreciated here - today was Big Bird in Japan to go along with Grandfather's Journey. Abby made Japanese stew for lunch, too.
And we spent the drizzly afternoon watching Pork Chop Hill to finish up Anna's BF American history course - accompanied by some Ghirardelli chocolate brownies!
