This week the history project was to recreate a Michelangelo painting. She’s pretty artistic, but would prefer to draw. However, she dived in. The end result was not quite a good as she wanted, but I thought she did a great job.
Not many young people can paint like Michelangelo. But the work will stay with her. Every time she sees that painting in the future, she will remember that she once tried to recreate it. She will remember the skill that Michelangelo had and appreciate the talent of artists.
Studying different artists has been so good for her. It encourages her to be artistic. She has her favorites. She talks about the different artists and their specialties. She knows more about famous artists than me and enjoys learning about them.
To me, that is a good education.
