Description
Ancient Greece Art Game
You will create an ancient greece art vase by rolling the die and collecting the different parts required to create it. First, choose a vase shape and trace it. Then using mahogany paint and a stiff, flat paintbrush, lightly paint across the vase with quick strokes of the brush. Let dry. Next, roll the die to select which figure you’re going to add to your vase. Draw it large, leaving room for the border designs. Trace over the figure (and all subsequent designs) in permanent marker.
Next, roll the die to select your first border and draw it. Roll the die three more times to determine the last three borders you’ll add (borders #2 – #4). Draw them into your design. Once completed, outline the entire vase in permanent marker and cut it out.
Teacher Directions
First, print out the game and picture directions back-to-back. Then give them dice and watch them have fun creating their own art project independently. Once completed, have students use the self-assessment rubrics to evaluate their artwork based on craftsmanship, creativity, following directions, work habits, project goals, and clean up. And then have them complete the “Big Ideas” sheet so they can connect the creation process to their learning.
