Bringing History To Life

Art and Design

• Learn about the artists of the period and country you are studying. Their paintings help show what people looked and dressed like at that time. You could even try to replicate one of their paintings using the same medium.
• Research and create a costume from the era you are learning about. If you are not quite that handy with a sewing kit, you could research and cook a popular recipe from that time.
• Build a model from the country or historical period you are studying. Perhaps the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids or the Long Wall of China? Simple playdoh will do or if you are feeling extra creative recycle some household materials like empty plastic bottles and cardboard boxes.
