The Sistine...Table?

For history this year, we are going through The Mystery of History volume 3.  Today we learned about Michelangelo.  One of Michelangelo's most famous works of art is the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.  Can you even imagine spending 4 years painting a ceiling?  
I can't, but Emilia can - at least a little.  :)



Apparently it's easier to steady yourself if your feet are on the "ceiling" as well.  Wonder if Michelangelo learned this trick?  :)


 
I think she'll remember Michelangelo after spending some time under the "Sistine Table".

    We really like it. It's written in a conversational style. Very interesting and from a Christian worldview. I don't think I necessarily need the companion guide and student activities since I don't always use them, but they are helpful (this idea came from them).
