Unit 1 Art

We finished Unit 1 of Year 2 of our curriculum, Tapestry of Grace, a couple of weeks ago. We are too busy right now to have a Unit Celebration, so we weren't able to show off the kids' work. I need to clear out their projects to make room for their Unit 2 work, so as always I needed to take pictures and document their work for posterity before it gets circular filed. This unit covers the Middle Ages, from the end of the Roman Empire until the Renaissance.


My girls were very interested in crests. They both researched the meanings behind the colors and the designs, and chose the ones they felt best represented them.

My son, as usual, is not as interested in crafts - unless it involves building something. This is his Viking ship paper craft. His favorite part was making up designs for each of the shields along the sides.

My youngest had fun making this stained glass window. She picked out the colors and came up with the design all on her own.

My oldest is an artist and really enjoyed drawing this Viking ship with colored pencils.

My youngest again - she didn't finish the fourth element of this craft, which is supposed to represent the Four Alls of medieval life - the peasant, the knights, the king, and the church. Can you tell which three she finished?

Can't wait to see what creative ventures they delve into in Unit 2 - I heard my son and husband mention a trebuchet....
