Art with students from Mrs. Keaton's Class

For my "all about me" vase I used an amphora. An amphora would have been given as a prize. On my vase I drew a tree, recycling bin and a picture of me standing on a stool. I have been recycling since I was 8 years old and I use to need a stool to be able to reach the recycling bin. Under the ground is a tube. The tube represents how when you recycle you are giving back to the trees. Sarah

On my "all about me" vase I drew a horse, a tree and a flower because I like all these things. I drew a picture of myself with a paint brush and a frog which are two of my most favorite things. I put a recycling symbol on my vase because I think it's important. I used geometric symbols to make it look more like a Greek vase. Breanna

I used an amphora and red-figure sgraffito. I liked this lesson because I liked learning about the Greek myths.On my vase I drew a pearl, horse and Poseidon with a triton. I used geometric shapes to represent the land, trees, clouds and sun because Greek pottery always had geometric shapes on them. Andre

I made my "all about me" vase in the shape of a bunny because I like bunnies. I drew all the things that I like onto my bunny. I drew a butterfly, animals and an ice cream cone. I drew pencils and paint because art is my favorite special. I drew a math book because math is my favorite subject. We go camping every year, so I drew a picture of that. I liked doing our own vases, but I'm not a fan of the Greek stuff. Alana

I did the red-figure style vase. I thought this was a really fun and interesting project because I learned a lot about Greek mythology. I also like the Percy Jackson books, so I put the three main Greek mythological gods on my vase. I showed their powers coming together to defeat Kronos. For my "all about me" vase I used a coffee cup. I love coffee. I drew a picture of myself swimming and I drew a pencil and paint brush because I like art. I drew my guinea pig, Coco, a potato because I like french fries, a math book because it's my favorite subject and KFC because it's my favorite restaurant. Brett

I used the red figure style to make a vase about myself. I put the things on my vase that I like the most. I drew myself swimming because I like to swim. The rest of the drawings are things that I like. I love barmadillos and digimons. I used a hydria shape. The hydria was used to carry water.

I used an amphora. It was used to hold oil. I used the red figure style to draw my designs and geometric patterns. I thought the lesson was fun. I like learning about other countries because I think it's interesting. This project was cool to do. I made my personal vase a cat. Cats are my favorite animal. I put a sun on it because I like being outside. I drew a soccer ball and a D.S. because I like to play these after school everyday. I also drew my friends because I like hanging out with them.

On my Greek vase I used the signs of the three major gods in Greek mythology. I added some of the weapons used in ancient Greece and geometric shapes for the sky. I liked doing this project because I like Greek mythology and I like the Percy Jackson series of books. It was interesting to be able to put it on a vase.

I used a dinosa for the shape of my Greek vase. Dinosa's were deep carved bowls without handles that were given as prizes. I drew the Spartans fighting on land and I drew the weapons they would have used. I liked this lesson because we got to draw what we liked. I really liked learning about Sparta which had the most powerful military back then. For my personal vase I used a dinosa. I put 2 palm trees and a hammock because I like to relax. I put athletics on my vase because I like sports and I love to play them. I put roller skating, hockey, basketball, baseball and football on it. I liked the personal vase best because you could draw things about yourself.

For my "all about me" vase, I used an amphora. It was given as a prize and it would have been filled with oil. I did it in the red-figure style. I think this vase best describes me. I put a beach, palm trees, ocean and a boat on it. I think it's fun to play in the sand and I like to be outside. Riley 

I used an amphora. It would have been filled with oil. I put a shield used for fighting on my vase, an award and patterns to make it look like a Greek vase. I liked this lesson because I thought it was creative. Madalynn

I used an amphora. It would have been filled with oil and given as a prize in the Olympic games. I did it in red-figure style. I put Hercules and Cerberus on it and a pattern. I thought the pattern looked cool. I liked doing this project because I liked the sgraffito. Quentin

My vase is an amphora. It was used for oil and as a reward for the Olympic games. I drew Hercules fighting off Cerberus because I thought the story was cool. I used geometric patterns to decorate the vase because Greek vases are always decorated with patterns. I liked the project. I thought it was cool. Zoe

For my Greek vase, I used an amphora. Amphora's were used to hold oil and were given as prizes at the Olympic games. I drew Hercules fighting the three headed dog. I used geometric shapes on the top and bottom. I thought this was a fun project. I like art and Greek myths. I liked learning what vases were used for. Paige

776 BC was the year of the first Olympic games. A crown of olive branches was given to the winner. In 508 BC democracy began in Athens. Democracy means being ruled by the people. 500 BC was the start of the classical period in Greece. A lot of people were interested in arts, imagination, and buildings.
The Greeks defeated the Persians in 490 and 480 BC. The Greek victories kept the growing Persian Empire in check. In 432 BC the Parthenon was finished. The purpose of this huge temple was to house the statue of the Goddess Athena. She was supposed to look over the city-state.
