Week 7 october 13 and 18
- 1. Macedonia is a small, but strategically located, state in the middle of the Balkan peninsula. Its turbulent history dates back before 300 B.C., when Alexander the Great created a broad empire as King of Macedonia. During World War II, Macedonia was divided between Bulgarian, Italian, and German occupation, prior to undergoing a civil war in 1946. In 1991, following years as a Yugoslav republic, Macedonia became independent once again. However, the country's weak infrastructure, and the region's economic struggles, slowed Macedonia's progress.

- 110. Why are some of these frescoes still around? Paint is actually IN the wall, not on top of it The volcanic explosion at Pompeii preserved a lot of things for us Many of these frescoes are from private houses that did not see a lot of sun and have been buried for centuries
- 111. How frescoes are made: Using a chalk line, grid the panel in one foot squares. The drawing which will be transferred to the panel must also be scaled to size. Plaster is applied with a trowel and worked with a wood float. Artists apply the plaster beyond the area they plan on completing in one day. This area later gets cut back at a 45 degree angle at the end of the day. All pigments are ground with distilled water.
