Drawing on the long history of Mediterranean ceramics, Italian artist Clara Holt covers the surfaces of vessels, tiles, and tablets with playful, colorful narratives. Inspired by the region’s ancient decorative pottery like the Minoan octopus flask or Greek and Etruscan vase painting, she illustrates references to mythology, nature, customs, and folklore. As a child, Holt’s grandparents told stories of Greek heroes and monsters, and she devoured books about the ancient gods and legends. More
Our new social studies unit is Early Civilizations - right now we're focusing on Ancient Greece. This is the first time I've taught the grade 5 social studies curriculum ... and I was SO excited to teach this unit. I've always had a fascination with Ancient Greece, and on my honeymoon (to Greece, of course), I dragged my newlywed husband to every single museum and ruin in Greece (so much for lying on the beaches - good thing he loves me). As part of our study of Greek culture, we've been examining Greek pottery. Next week we're going to break out the clay to create our own Greek pottery (super excited about that), so this week we planned our pieces. Students could only use orange construction paper and black sharpies to create their pieces to represent the orange clay and blank ink the Ancient Greeks would use. They had to research the different shapes and uses of the pottery and write the Greek name of the type of pottery they chose. The pictures look great on display. I also added some of the summaries the students wrote on an article about food in Ancient Greece. Next week we'll be adding our actual pottery as well as the brochures about Ancient Greece we've been working on.
