    Cunae International School students have been studying the effects of force and exploring the world of art through two hands-on projects.

    The “Spaghetti Challenge” challenged the lower primary class to create a structure of marshmallows and spaghetti on which to suspend a lemon, with the goal of having the highest structure without the fruit falling.

    Meanwhile, art students have been stepping into the shoes of the Great Masters by learning how artists like Da Vinci and Michelangelo created their famous works. The project involves working as a group to imitate the classics “The Last Supper” and the Sistine Chapel.

    Fun and Challenging - Just like the winter olympics!

    The Spaghetti Challenge by the boys who made them. Wyatt - I like the way my spaghetti sculpture looked at the end. Kieran - I had to redesign mine on paper. Sean - It was fun.

    The Great Artists of Cunae.

    The Last Supper was a very cool painting. Wyatt
