Once again taking inspiration from Nigel Marven, Leif asked to do a project with orthocones and sea scorpions that he saw during Nigel's travels to the ordovician period. In this episode, he swam with chain mail and a scuba suit and encountered these creatures. Leif painted the background, traced the orthocone pattern, then cut and pasted black coral. I traced, cut, and detailed the animals so he could paste them on. Great fun!

Dinosaur Breeding Grounds
This multimedia dinosaur project features breeding pairs of stegosaurus, triceratops, allosaurus, ultrasaurus, parasaurolophus, quetzalcoatlus, and one macroplatus which was caught and is being eaten by the allosaurus pair. Leif painted the background, traced the animals, and I detailed them so he could glue them on. Notice that each female is guarding an egg clutch. Yet another fun and very successful art project at Leif's suggestion.
