Gastone’s History of Ancient Rome – making ...

Gastone introduces us to the last tyrannical King of Rome Tarquinius; Lars Porsena, an Etruscan king and enemy of Rome; and the early Roman heroes defending their city like Gaius Mucius Scaevola, the wonderfully named Horatius Cocles (has to be the name of your next cat) and the heroic self-sacrifice of Marcus Curtius. There are also some crucified dogs (poor dogs ☹).

Sarah's Art History - Introduction and Painting no. 1

Hi there, welcome to first of Sarah’s Art History.

Where we’ll go through the history of art painting by painting, I’ll give you some activities and three questions about the next painting we are going to look at… so first up –

Copy and paste this into google: Margarito of Arezzo The Virgin and Child Enthroned National Gallery

And it should be the first link (if not find it through the National Gallery website – www.nationalgallery.org.uk, click on the magnifying glass, click on paintings, type in ‘margarito of arezzo’, click on painting)

Find the little box lower left with the painting in small and click on the – so you can see the whole painting. And answer these questions for when we meet up again soon.

Questions before we begin!

  1. Where is the mother and baby?

  2. How many boxes on either side? (look at the pictures in them. Which is your favourite?)

  3. Can you find the dragon? How many heads has he got?

Spread the word, follow on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter and look for Tours For My Kids!

See you soon to learn about the painting!
