We are working on the last order of art for our school building which will encompass Greece and Rome and Early Church/Medieval/Early Modern

We love to include our students on some of the pieces that are chosen hence the Rafael vs. Rubens showdown! Students will be voting between a depiction of St. George and the Dragon and Mrs. Janice Martinez has conversation with our "Matriarch of Arts," Mrs. Melissa Daugherty about the differences between the two artists.

We want to include stories from "The Golden Legend" on our hallways. (This was the sourcebook the Medievals used for Catholic storytelling about the saints.) Here is a brief description.

In the Golden Legend a “dragon” was terrorizing a village and would only be appeased by the offering of a daily sheep for its feast. When no sheep could be found, lots were cast for a maiden to sacrifice and the lot fell to the monarch’s daughter. Her father’s money and power could not save her, so she went to the lake where the dragon lived and awaited her fate. George, on his horse and in military garb, came upon the scene and after making the sign of the cross, killed the dragon and the princess was saved. All the pagans in the town became Christians.
