Our Election and Ancient Egypt lapbooks are coming right along. We're planning a trip to the DIA on Friday with some other hsers. Planned activities include, but are not limited to:
~Tour of Ancient Egypt displays (BYOBoD -- Bring Your Own Book of the Dead)
~ Modern Art Mocking Competition (extra points to those whose kids sketch something better in 3 mins or less -- OK so everyone will get those by default. Extra, extra points if you can stick it to the wall when the docents aren't looking.)
~Find the "Dumbledore Stairs" Before the Youngest Ones Can Ask About Their Location for the 5,000th Time Race
~Lie On Your Back and Stare at the Beautiful Ceiling Event (bonus points to those who remain unembarrassed by gawking passersby)
~Translate the Latin on the Walls near the Diego Rivera Murals Race
And here's how the lapbooks are looking these days:

LMAO @ "Modern Art Mocking Competition"! My family could give you a run for the money in that one.
One of Z'a favorite finds in his HS research was an article on a piece of modern art that had been hanging upside down in a museum for YEARS!
I wish you could come with us! The more the merrier in a MAMCompetition. :)
I'm totally cracking up over the article. What a hoot! ^_^
My first rule of thumb on art is: If you can't tell which way to hang it, it ain't art! ;)
In our HS studies, Z and I have encountered works of "art?" that our DOG could have copied.
Good rule!! :)
Heh! have you seen the book "Why Cats Paint"? I'm still not sure whether it's meant to be a spoof, or the people who wrote it are just crazy. ^_^
