Week 13 Art: Giotto

For week thirteen art we are studying Giotto di Bondone. Many paintings of Giotto's time were made using egg tempera. Artists used whatever items they could find and ground them into fine powder and mixed the pigment with their egg yolk and water. I looked online for a black line of any of Giotto's works and struggled to find anything I liked. Finally, I did the only thing I could think of and created one myself. Click here and here for the pdfs for the two Giotto works I transformed into black lines. Feel free to use these in your community. Also, here is the link for the powdered chalk I purchased. I used this watercolor paper. 

Giotto painted these frescos of St. Paul and St. Peter some time between c.1290-c.1300. They are located in the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, in Assisi, Italy.
