After ending a fabulous Egypt Unit, we have moved to the next era of ancient history...GREECE! Since Grecian life and culture was heavily influenced by the people of Crete, we began there. (This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for full details.) Some of the resources we have used in the first few weeks of our study include the following: They Lived Like This in Ancient Crete Digging Into Yesterday, chapter 4 I Wonder Why Greeks Built Temples: and Other Questions about Ancient Greece Growing Up In Ancient Greece Throughout our initial reading, it was evident that most of what is known about Grecian "everyday life" came from the excavation of ancient Grecian urns. These urns, made from terra cotta clay were made almost exclusively from master craftsmen in Athens. They depicted everyday life as well as religious beliefs. Since urns were such a major element of Grecian society, I thought it would be worthwhile to recreate some together using this fun seventh grade art class project as inspiration. I knew this was going to be a multi-step art project that would have to be completed over the course of several days. But, I was anxious to give my children the opportunity to work on a more complicated project that would challenge their ability and stretch their commitment to "get the job done." Before we began, we learned a few of the secrets of ancient Grecian artists from Drawing History: Ancient Greece. We read that Greek painters liked to use wave border patterns in their work and rarely ever painted a person's full face. Side profiles were preferred. Next, we did a google image search of Grecian Urns and used some of these pictures as inspiration in order to sketch out a plan for our own urns. Then, it was time to create... To Make a Paper Mache Grecian Urn You will need: one large balloon (not pictured) an empty oatmeal cylinder duct tape newspaper cut vertically into one inch strips paper mache paste (recipe below) heave cardboard (We used a diaper box.) an exacto knife or heave scissors a ruler paint paintbrushes extra newspaper for covering your work surface Before my children began this project, I prepped our work space by blowing up all the balloons, cutting 8 strips of duct tape per person, cutting the oatmeal containers into three large "rings", and ladling paste into small containers so that everyone had their own paste bucket. As this project was done in several phases due to drying time, I will list the directions accordingly. Phase 1 Place a blown-up balloon on top of the bottom section of the oatmeal carton. (You could also use the top section with the lid still attached.) Tape it securely in place with duct tape. (Make sure the balloon remains completely upright and does not tilt as you tape it in place. Otherwise, you will end up with a lopsided urn. Such was the case with one of ours.) Now, place the top section...or a middle section...of the oatmeal container on the top of the balloon and tape in place. This is the initial skeleton of the urn. Dip a strip of newspaper into the paste and squeeze off the excess paste between your fingers. (You want the strips to be wet but not soaking or dripping.) Beginning at the very top of the urn, press the strip onto the sides of the skeleton. Repeat this until the entire urn has been covered with 2-3 layers of paper mache. Be sure to stagger the strips so that you get an even surface. Don't forget to cover the inside ridge by pressing strips up and over the top so that they nearly touch the top of the balloon. Although it is not necessary, I'd also recommend pressing strips on the bottom of the urn. It will make for a durable frame. Before finishing this phase, I'd suggest you wet your hands with paste and use them to smooth out any wrinkles. Use firm and fast strokes so that you don't tear the wet layers. The tighter and smoother the paper mache, the stronger and prettier the urn. Set the urns in a well-ventalated area or outside to dry for at least 24 hours. If you have extra paste, put it in a sealed container to save for the next phase of the process. (If the paste gets a bit clumpy after a few days, slowly add water until it gets to the desired consistency.) Phase 2 Repeat the above steps once again adding 2-3 more layers of paper mache. Try to keep all the strips vertical. They are easier to attach that way and look much nicer than horizontal ones. Phase 3 Using an exacto knife, cut two, one inch strips of heavy cardboard. (This should be done by an adult or an older teen.) Our strips were about 8 inches in length, but yours will need to be adjusted to fit the size urn skeleton you have created. Bend each strip so that the top and bottom inch remains flat, while the middle rounds over...creating a handle. Secure the handle to the top "lip" portion of the urn with a horizontal strip of duct tape. Then arch the cardboard to your desired handle size and secure the bottom to the urn with another horizontal strip of duct tape. Make adjustments as needed. Once the handle is in the desired position, put another strip of duct tape over the original pieces for extra stability. If you are creating an urn with TWO handles, repeat this entire process. Be sure to line up the handles so that they attach at a similar height on each side. (Otherwise, your urn will look lopsided.) Using small strips of paper mache, secure the top and bottom of the handles to the rest of the paper mache. (I'd suggest doing a few horizontal pieces and then a few vertical ones.) Now, wrap strips of paper mache around the handle. Overlap them as needed. Again, fill your hand with paste and smooth out the finished handles. Dry completely. Phase 4 Using a needle or a pin, pop the balloon and remove the pieces. Your urn should be hollow and quite sturdy. Using acrylic paint in terra cotta shades, paint the urn. (Although we did NOT paint the entire inside, we did paint the inside top ridge.) Depending upon the paint, you may need to paint several coats. Let dry completely. Phase 5 Using black paint, add Grecian-themed designs to the urn. Remember, less is best. Although REAL urns were quite elaborate, depicting many scenes of everyday life, we found it easier to keep to simple designs. To Make Paper Mache Paste You will need: 1 c. all purpose flour 8 cups water 6 tbsp. sugar Combine flour and four cups of cold water. In a large pot, bring the remaining four cups of water to a boil. Add the flour/water combination and return to a boil. Remove from heat and add the sugar. Cool completely. This will make enough paste to complete one urn with a bit left over. (As I did not have a pot large enough to double or triple this recipe, I divided one recipe's worth into three containers and had to repeat the paste recipe in phase two. There was enough left over paste to save in a covered container for phase three) *While my kindergartener has been learning about ancient Greece, this project was a bit too involved for him. I gave him the option to HELP me create one, but he quickly lost interest after a few minutes. I would recommend this project for middle elementary aged kids and older...or for younger children with artistic passion. Set your homeschool day on autopilot! Thank you!

Virtual Sheet Music® Premium High-Quality digital sheet music for flute, violin and cello, from the "Messiah", Full Score and Parts. Works well as a flute trio; I requested the cello part to be transposed to treble clef and VSM provided me with second violin part which is exactly what I needed...the other 2 flutists and I are already preparing this to play during holidays, etc. Challenging and so fun! Very beautiful rendition, plan to use it at an upcoming wedding, as part of Postlude. Violin part a little tricky unless you're adept at double-stops I see it as a refreshing challenge.

I found another amazing idea for my classroom on Pinterest. Apparently, I am unable to come up with my own original ideas. No biggie though…I love finding wonderful ideas from other teachers, and making them my own. Although I found this idea on Pinterest, it can be traced back to an old post from Growing…
