Second Post of the Day
Having items on hand for the kids to touch and examine is a really good way to teach. But when those items are fragile, very old, valuable, or borrowed, you may have to limit what can be touched and what is a look-only.
Leslie suggested that I have some pictures of horses in the 18th century to help give the School Day kiddos a better understanding of how that life looked and was lived. Here are the paintings I selected.
18th century artist George Stubbs painted many horses and is always a good resource for research.
Countess of Corning's by Livery of Charlton, 1760, by George Stubbs.
Pferd und Stallknecht, Thomas Gooch, 1750
It's in need of a good cleaning and I'll post pictures of it after I've finished that task.
The pictures are framed and ready to be set out in my display.
I think they're going to be helpful when I am teaching during School Days.
Guess I'll find out soon, right?
Tick! Tick! Tick!
