Roman projects

Here finally are some pictures of the Roman projects I mentioned in an earlier post.

The first is a cross section of a Roman road, showing how it was constructed. I am so proud of this, not because of the quality of the work so much as that it was done completely  independantly and he had so much fun doing it. I wasn't even home at the time!

 

 

The next is a model of a Roman Aqueduct. Superboy made it of clay, then mounted it on a canvas background on which he painted background scenery. I love the detail on the bricks and the arches.It cracked a bit as it dried, but I told him that's OK, it just makes it look more authentic!

 

 

The third is his Eggshell Mosaic. I think it turned out super!

Lots of fun! Lots of learning getting done!
