Art~ Week 4

This week we continues our lesson about Fra Angelico.

The Virgin of the Annunciation

He was a famous artist, who was also a monk! He got his start by drawing the illuminations for books.

San Marco Altarpiece

His work was so well-loved that he was asked to paint by various wealthy men. He was given patronage by many wealthy and influential men. You can learn more about this talented monk here.


So this week the Franciscans worked with gold leaf! They added the gold leaf to the drawing they had begun the week before.

We learned that it isn't as easy as it looks. All the students did an amazing job!
