The children discovered that - Donatello was earliest of the group, having lived in Italy during the early Renaissance, a sculptor in bronze, marble and wood. Six years after Donatello’s death Leonardo was born, He worked almost entirely in drawing and painting and was an inventor as well as an artist. Thomson told the group that ' Michelangelo and Raphael were the most recent of the group, jok- ingly adding that Michelangelo’s Italian background accounts for his love of pizza, Thomson illus- trated her talk with reproductions of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and other famous frescoes. Frescoes, she told the students, are paintings done directly into wet plaster. “It isan ancient art the techniques of which are all but lost,” she added. The workshop concluded with a special exercise, drawing a live model. Elizabeth Thomson posed in a shawl, long dress and hat. Joanne Thomson said the opportu- nity to draw an artist’s model was the highlight of the workshop for most of the kids. The workshop was sponsored by Terrace Parks and Recreation and was fully subscribed, with a num- ber of children on a waiting list. Thomson says she plans hold other children’s art workshops in the future to raise money for main- taining the Terrace Art Gallery, PET OF THE WEEK. his week’s featured orphan from the Terrace animal shelter is Phoenix the cat, six months old, male, litter-trained, quiet and playful, shown here with visitors Erin and Ejay.
