Who said that learning history is boring? Not if it is history of art, and not if you are doing fun projects!
Today in AP Art History class, students learned about Bayeux Tapestry, a Romanesque embroidery that depicts the conquest of England. The embroidery is 230 ft long and consists of multiple scenes with captions in Latin.
To make the learning process more interesting, Mr. Kaplan gave the students a project, where they had to recreate some of "class quotes" (funny phrases that students said in this class) in the old English using only pictures and words from Bayeux Tapestry. Now the students will easily be able to remember this piece of art and recognize different scenes from it.
