Story Time - Mediterranean Mosaics

Tuesday, August 2, 2011 - 10:00am - 11:00am

Mosaic of Justice in the Wisconsin Capitol BuildingChildren ages 4-11 can hear a few internationally themed stories and then make their own mosaic pictures to take home! A healthy snack will be included with the program.

We'll read Niki's Little Donkey and I Have an Olive Tree to get in a Mediterranean mood.

Four glass mosaics decorate the inside of the dome in the Wisconsin  capitol building. This mosaic, Justice, is 'represented by a young woman seated in a lion throne, who tests the scales in the balance to demonstrate the purely judicial function of weighing one cause against the other.' Photograph by Ray LaPoint.

Our mosaics won't be this fancy, but Justice can inspire us!
