Explorers and Trailblazers Art, week 11: We looked at pictures of Roman Architecture and I walked them through how to do a drawing of a  Roman Aqueduct. Then we colored it using pastels. We talked about blending and horizon lines and how to draw using reference lines to help you place things in the picture. The children did some fine work!

Rise of Rome - History 1&2 Explorers and Trailblazers

The founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus is a legend, however historians do believe that Rome began near the Tiber River.  As small villages grew, they merged into one large city.  During the rule of Etruscan kings, a series of roads, aqueducts, and elaborate buildings were built.  This infrastructure, along with a strong military and wise leadership allowed for many military conquests.
