Back to craft. After the success of the Michelangelo under the table artwork, I created another kids craft project that aims to put a smile on the face of parents, children, and the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Before Dan Brown, Leonardo was famous for painting the Mona Lisa who, though not central to 'The Code', is nonetheless the subject of many conspiracy theories and speculations; who is she, why is she smiling, was he her lover, was she pregnant, where in the world was that crazy background meant to represent...?
The art project for kids that I created is a 2-part page; on one side is a conventional coloring page which requires artistic children to color-in and then add a smiley face. The other side requires nothing more than a face to be added (I recommend a permanent / laundry marker so that it won't smudge.)
Mimi's version was so funny (PS - never laugh out loud in front of your children if you want them to maintain self-esteem) we decided to frame it in a beautiful neo-classical frame and hang it up. Click on it for an enlargement to really appreciate the glory of it!
