Lent: make the arts part of your experience
As we approach Holy Week, I want to suggest to believers of all persuasions that we purposely turn our attention to the Cross. One way to do this is through the arts.
The Web Gallery of Art provides not only reproducible art but a gallery-viewing experience where you can hear suggested music.
For instance, if you visit the picture above - Crucifixion by Jan Provost - you will find not only information on the painting itself, but also a suggested musical background to accompany your contemplation of it: a hymn for Lent by Guillaume Dufay.
How cool is that? The Web Gallery of Art is a must-bookmark resource for any family, especially homeschoolers.
