For my class this week is going to be learning about the almighty Byzantine Empire.
Byzantine was a very shiny place, so I've had to buy lots of shiny paint for my art class tomorrow. Thankfully I don't need to buy any paint, because there is enough in the art supplies cabinet to glue the entire population's fingers together on their right hand. The other thing I had to acquire was miniature cards, the size of playing cards, with saints on them.
I'm not going to tell you what we're going to make. But I can say we'll be learning about icons (pictured below), and that there is already plenty of clues.
I will say that the finished project of our art projects will, also, be very shiny.
