Giotto mainly painted frescos.
Giotto used an egg based tempera paint.
So we made our own egg based paint for our artwork.First Goofy crushed up some chalk using a rock.
The rock was very slow going so Mommy helped out with a rolling pin and that went super fast!
We mixed up 2 egg yokes with 2 TAB water.
Then we added it to the chalk and we had our paint.
He was also the first major artist to convey emotions in his painting.
Notice the yellow hallow around peoples heads.
Giotto painted scenes from the Bible and like others from his time used hallows to depict saints.
So we used paper to make a Medieval Woven Placemat.
During the time period people also created amazing tapestries which created amazing woven pictures.
