History of Art / Studio Art Combined Studio | Feb 3, Periods 5&6

[autolycus-kot.livejournal.com]

At students entered they might have noticed that three of the classroom walls were covered with still damp plaster, and paints and extra buckets of plaster were set up near each wall. There are also a number of books on Roman fresco painting, in particular that of Pompeii. (Warning: links lead to not particulary NWS images)

"Frescoes were a very common form of Roman art. A fresco is when you paint directly onto still wet lime mortar or plaster so that the paint soaks into the wall as they both dry. Today, you get to make one.

"I've divided you up into three groups, each group will take one wall to paint on, choose your subject from the books provided.

"While you will all help paint your fresco, the History of Art students will be responsible for choice of subject matter, and the Studio Art students for directing your artistic efforts. You haven't much time so get started as quickly as possible."

Kara shrugs and says, "I have no idea."

"Well, I think I can just about manage paining a doughnut. You want to do the ancient Romans to go under them?"

"Sounds good," she agrees.

"What's a doughnut but fried sweet dough? Who doesn't love fried dough?" She grinned, "It's a universal treat."

"Also good for ring-toss, depending on the size of the doughnut," Xander added. This time not glancing down at the book.

"That's it, I'm sticking to croissants anymore." Isabel said. "Doughnuts have been ruined for me forever."
