I have a set of these from when I taught elementary school and I just use them in still-lifes now...

I think focusing on the patterning that is used in painting (?maybe?) the domes would be interesting.
 
Good Luck!

Any suggestions/ideas/brainstorms out there for a lesson inspired by the architecture of Russian cathedrals and their painted "onion" style domes? I have been inspired by this for years and have been slowly collecting photos of this distinct type of architecture. I would love to introduce this to my elementary students this year, and am going through some "artist block" Must be the summer!
