Ancient Greek Pots with some modern twists...

Ancient Greek Pottery is our next exploration.

This exemplar is a kylix form model that I am doing with my classes.

We have been connecting science and math with our pinch pots. The 4th grade will be making Moche Animal Pots, while the 5th grade will be using pinch pots to create organic looking whistle pots. We should be finishing them at the end of the week. Also, students will be doing research for the their ancient Greek pottery style explorations. Students will choose a shape such as the krater, or kylix, or amphorae and will have to do a presentation on based on research. Students will begin coil constructions in the 2nd nine weeks based on a style they choose.

Measuring the changes in weight as our clay pots dry out.

Then..we are taking a break from recording our data in measuring?
