This hands-on class explores life in the Middle Ages and its lasting impact on the world. We will study the design and defense of medieval castles, the beauty and symbolism of Romanesque and Gothic art and cathedrals, and trace the spread of the Black Death across Europe. We will investigate the lives of nobles, knights, serfs, and clergy, discovering how they dressed, what they ate, and how they learned. Students will make a personal coat of arms, create an Illuminated Manuscript page, build a model castle, and much more!
