ART IN THE ANCIENT WORLD

I get the amazing honor of taking Boris to school every morning.


These drives are usually filled with great, in-depth discussions...about what we're listening to on the radio (music or news), issues with the family (why does Spike take all my things), or what he learned in school the day before (nothing).

This morning, he asked me how the planets were made.

I explained that some people believed in creationism, and some believed in the Big Bang.

I showed him this...



After thinking about it, he came up with his own theory. He decided that the universe must have been a huge, blank canvas. "Someone" drew a picture of the planets and stars and threw it down on this big white space. Then everything started moving and came alive.
