ONTARIO CURRICULUM: Arts


DETAILS: The children look at a winged Greek sculpture, the Winged Victory, from the second century BCE. It was found on the island of Samothrace, but the head was never found. It is mounted on a pedestal shaped like a galley ship because it celebrated a victory at sea. In this series Rafael, serious and studious, Mona, witty and intuitive and Nabi the youngest, full of mischief and make-believe, spontaneously tell us what they think about art.
