As part of her IB MYP (middle years program) Paula has to do a personal project. This is something completely undefined, with a subject you can determine yourself; the only requirement is that a product is delivered and a final report is written. Choosing the subject was not difficult, it had to be something with horses. But what..?
Before the summer Paula and Mary stumbled across someone on Internet with a veterinary background who was painting on horses to indicate organs and bones. Thus the idea was born to give a lesson at the local stable on the internal organs of a horse, using a painted, real horse for demonstration. Then the search for the right paint started, and, after a few trials, Paula got in contact with a horse chiropractor (yes, they exist), who pointed her to the best paint to use. After a few trial sessions and practicing her lesson with us, Paula was ready. She delivered her lesson with confidence, using horse Vera as prop, in front of some 20 people at the stable. And everybody learned something!
Paula has kept her own blog as a journal of the project, so if you want to know more: http://horseanatomypp.blogspot.com/
