Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”

My Fifth Grade class is currently studying the Renaissance era in Western Europe, and today, we focused our studies on Leonardo da Vinci, and his two iconic works, The Mona Lisa, and The Last Supper. My students got really into the discussion on these pieces, and I just wanted to share here the video from Khan Academy we viewed about The Last Supper. The two scholars narrating the video do a really great job of breaking this beautiful piece, and especially in drawing out the complexity of the figures of the apostles and how they are portrayed here. Take a few minutes and watch.
