Pottery in Ancient Greece• Vases were considered mostly functional objects made to be

used• They provided multiple purposes: storage, carrying, mixing,

serving, drinking etc.• There were some vases which were more ornate considered

worthy gifts for dedication to the gods. • Vases which were more decadent often had elaborate art

work• These often showcased historic characters and events

Cross Curricular

• Since we will be studying Ancient Greece in social studies this is an excellent opportunity to weave art into the curriculum

• For their final project in this Unit, students will be working on a famous character from Greek myth. A Greek Vase provides an excellent way to represent their character in an artistic medium.

Materials• The Reality is not every school has access to a Kiln for pottery• That shouldn’t stop you!• For example: My class will be creating vase artwork by using paper• Here is what you will require:

• - Images of Greek Vases for inspiration,- Student fact sheets on their Greek Character

• -Paper/Scratch Paper• - Acrylic paint• - Skewer• - Brushes• - Pastels

Process• Depending on how complex you decide to go with this type of

Artwork the process can vary immensely

Example:-Students will draw a vase shape onto a piece of paper-Secondly Students will then colour in their vase-Students will completely cover their artwork in white acrylic paint-Students will etch their designs into the piece and thereby chip away at the white paint strategically revealing the under layer of cover

Considerations• If you will be using paint prepare to put down newspaper in

order to prevent unnecessary messes.

• Student Desks should be pushed into groups in order to share art supplies and to support collaboration
