THE PLAN
6 sessions; 40 minutes per session
1.SWBAT develop visual symbols that represent their chosen Greek characters.
2.SWBAT demonstrate blending and layering of oil pastel colors.
3.SWBAT design a composition that shows variation and visual balance of Greek character symbols and Greek patterns.
4. SWBAT tell the difference between warm and cool color schemes.
1. 9x12 Poster board or heavy cardstock.
2. Oil Pastels.
3. India Ink.
4. Wood Stylus
5. 9X12 Construction paper.
6. Glue.
7. Scissors
8. Computer for research.
1. Students will research Greek Mythology characters that they may be interested in. They will also look for Greek patterns that they might want to use on their vessel. Then they will complete the provided work sheet (included sketches of their symbols). I had my students complete all for options, then narrow it down to their favorite one, but that will be up to you. (20- 40 minutes)
2. Students will then search for and sketch different types of Greek Vessels. My examples show 9, but you can have your students complete as many as you like. (20- 40 minutes).
3. On a piece of poster board or cardstock, have your students sketch the basic outline of their chosen vessel. (5 minutes).
4. Color the inside of the vessel using oil pastels. My class used either warm or cool color schemes.(15-30 minutes)
5. Cover the vessel drawing with India ink and allow it to dry. (5-20 minutes.
6. Carefully cut out the ink covered vessel. Allow students to use a wood stylus to scratch away their Greek patterns and symbols on to their vessels. (40 - 120 minutes)
7. Glue and mount the completed vessels on to students' chosen color of construction paper. (5 minutes)
