Fabulous Frescoes

As we study the Renaissance, we have, of course, been learning about famous frescoes such as Leonardo's "The Last Supper" and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. So we decided to try our hand at fresco painting, but instead of making our own paints the way the great masters would have, we used pastels, and our plaster dried very quickly so we could not paint it while it was still wet. Interesting to think about the challenges these artists faced!
