Week 1
The Parthenon and
Greek architecture
The Ancient Greeks built many buildings in this
style using columns and friezes with ornate decoration and pictures carved into them.
The remains of some of these buildings can
still be seen today such as The Parthenon in
Athens and other temples around Greece.
Task 1 -Drawing the Parthenon

Following our work on perspective last
term, have a go at sketching the Parthenon from Ancient Greece showing perspective.
This Youtubevideo might help you.
your best). Remember to pause the video frequently to do each section. Remember to sketch LIGHTLY, no rulers needed and remember you can rub out or adjust your lines lots of times, no artist gets it right first time (or maybe even tenth time!) Good luck, I look forward to seeing them.
Week 2
Collage of Greek Architecture
The Ancient Greeks had a unique style of architecture that is still copied today in government buildings and major monuments throughout the world. Ancient Greek architecture is known for tall columns, intricate detail, symmetry, harmony, and balance. The Greeks built all sorts of buildings. The main examples of Greek architecture that survive today are the large temples that they built to their gods. The Ancient Greeks built most of their temples and government buildings in three types of styles :Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian which had different shaping. Most of the columns had grooves down the sides called fluting. This gave the columns a feeling of depth and balance.
Task 2 -Once again, use your
knowledge of perspective from last term to layer hills in the background these can be cut out or painted. In the foreground, you can make your Greek architecture out of art straws, card, paper or anything else you can think of to make the columns etc.
Week 3
Ancient Greek
Pottery
The Ancient Greeks made pots from clay. Large
pots were used for cooking or storing food and small bowls and cups were made for people to eat and drink from. Pots were also used for decoration, and when people died, they were cremated (burned) and their ashes were buried in pots. The pots were different shapes and sizes depending on their purpose. The Ancient Greeks decorated pots and plates with images from Greek myths, everyday life or patterns.
Task 3 -Have a look at Ancient Greek
pottery shapes and the designs on them on the next few slides. Draw your own Greek pot decorated with pictures and/or patterns.
Look closely at the designs on the pots on
the slides and practise by sketching them first before copying your best sketches onto your drawing of a pot. Use pencil, pen, paint, crayons, etc. Your design can be as intricate or simple as you like.

Week 4
Making Greek pots/
plates
Task 4 -Make or decorate your own
Greek pot or plate. You could decorate a
plant pot if you have one or a paper plate or go the whole way and make your own pot out of papier-mache: https://www.theunlikelyhomeschool.com/201
