UPDATE


We are having a "light" week this week, since tomorrow is Big Girl's birthday. We have been reading about George Washington Carver for U.S. history, and Marco Polo for Middle Ages.

We started Fra Angelico for our artist. I'll be glad when we get through these Roman Catholics who painted nothing but graven images. Ugh.

I wouldn't even be able to look at those Roman Catholic painters for very long. I think if it were me we would glance at their work for 2 seconds and say, "OK, these are graven images and they are ugly things to God, moving on..."
LOL

That's basically what we do. However, we love looking at the paintings of other artists, and can't wait till we get to some good ones. I only cover these because I want them to have a knowledge of who they are and what they did. Don't want them going through life not knowing who in the world Michaelangelo is, lol. And also, it is good for discernment and they hate the images too. Got them trained right there. :-)

Oh yeah, for sure. They would look a bit dumb if someone mentioned Michaelangelo in a coversation and they gave a blank stare! LOL

That's wonderful that they have such good discernment. Praise God.
