ANCIENT
GREEK VESSELS
INTRODUCTION
Mrs. Anderson and Sixth Grade Students-
We are in need of examples of Ancient Greek Vessels. There has
been a fire in our storage building and we need your help. We have
heard what excellent artists you all are and need your assistance
with this project. Could each of your classes do four examples of
Ancient Greek Vessels for us to exhibit at our Loympic Center when we
have our annual games? They need to be light weight for the purpose
of shipping so think about what they could be made of instead of
clay. Best of luck with this project and thank you for your immediate
attention in this matter.

TASK
IT WILL ENGAGE YOU AS A STUDENT TO DO RESEARCH ON A CHOSEN AREA
THAT CULMINATES IN A FINISHED PROJECT. YOU WILL BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR
EQUAL GROUPS IN THE ROOM. AFTER RESEARCHING, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL
THE DIFFERENCE IN THE FOUR GREEK PERIODS OF ART. STUDENTS WILL WORK
IN GROUPS OF 6 AND YOU WILL THEN DESIGN A GROUP VESSEL UTILIZING
PARTS/CHARACTERISTICS FROM ONE OR MORE GREEK ART PERIODS. THE
FINISHED PRODUCT WILL BE A UNIQUE GREEK STYLE VESSEL REPRESENTING ONE
OR MORE GREEK PERIODS OF ART. YOUR VESSEL WILL BE DISPLAYED AT YOUR
CULMINATING ACTIVITY.

PROCESS
YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS TO CREATE YOUR VESSEL: 2 PLASTIC
BOTTLES ( QUART, LITER, GALLON),BOXES, CANS, PAPER PLATES,RECYCLED
ITEMS. X-ACTO KNIVES, NEWSPAPER, MASKING TAPE, TEMPERA PAINT AND
BRUSHES, ART PASTE, BUCKETS (GROUPS NEED TO BRING IN THEIR OWN
SUPPLIES, I SUPPLY PAPER MACHE PASTE, NEWSPAPER, AND PAINT.)
THE FOLLOWING ANCIENT GREEK VESSEL FOR YOU WILL NEED TO PRINT OUT
SO YOU CAN FILL IT OUT AS A GROUP. THE RESEARCH SECTION HAS A SECTION
FOR INTERNET RESEARCH FOR YOU TO LINK TO. JUST CLICK ON THE LINK AND
AWAY YOU GO.

WHY WERE VESSELS CREATED AN WHAT WERE THEY USED FOR BY THE GREEKS.
HOW DO WE USE VESSELS TODAY? (COMPARE) DO WE STILL USE THE GREEK
STYLES TODAY?
WHAT WAS THE GEOMETRIC PERIOD, THE DATES, AND DRAW AN EXAMPLE OF A
GEOMETRIC VESSEL. WHAT CLAY WAS USED TO CREATE VESSEL OF THE
GEOMETRIC PERIOD? WHAT GLAZES/COLORS WERE USED TO CREATE VESSELS OF
THE GEOMETRIC PERIOD? HOW DID THE GREEKS CONSTRUCT THEIR VESSELS
DURING THE GEOMETRIC PERIOD?
WHAT WAS THE ORIENTALIZING PERIOD, THE DATES, AND DRAW AN EXAMPLE
OF A ORIENTALIZING VESSEL. WHAT CLAY WAS USED TO CREATE VESSEL OF THE
ORIENTALIZING PERIOD? WHAT GLAZES/COLORS WERE USED TO CREATE VESSELS
OF THE ORIENTALIZING PERIOD? HOW DID THE GREEKS CONSTRUCT THEIR
VESSELS DURING THE ORIENTALIZING PERIOD?
WHAT WAS THE ARCHAIC PERIOD, THE DATES, AND DRAW AN EXAMPLE OF A
ARCHAIC VESSEL. WHAT CLAY WAS USED TO CREATE VESSEL OF THE ARCHAIC
PERIOD? WHAT GLAZES/COLORS WERE USED TO CREATE VESSELS OF THE ARCHAIC
PERIOD? HOW DID THE GREEKS CONSTRUCT THEIR VESSELS DURING THE ARCHAIC
PERIOD?
WHAT WAS THE CLASSICAL PERIOD, THE DATES, AND DRAW AN EXAMPLE OF A
CLASICAL VESSEL. WHAT CLAY WAS USED TO CREATE VESSEL OF THE CLASSICAL
PERIOD? WHAT GLAZES/COLORS WERE USED TO CREATE VESSELS OF THE
CLASSICAL PERIOD? HOW DID THE GREEKS CONSTRUCT THEIR VESSELS DURING
THE CLASSICAL PERIOD?
WHAT WAS THE FOURTH CENTURY BC PERIOD, THE DATES, AND DRAW AN
EXAMPLE OF A FOURTH CENTURY BC VESSEL. WHAT CLAY WAS USED TO CREATE
VESSEL OF THE FOURTH CENTURY BC PERIOD? WHAT GLAZES/COLORS WERE USED
TO CREATE VESSELS OF THE FOURTH CENTURY BC PERIOD? HOW DID THE GREEKS
CONSTRUCT THEIR VESSELS DURING THE FOURTH CENTURY BC PERIOD?
WHAT WAS THE HELLENISTIC PERIOD, THE DATES, AND DRAW AN EXAMPLE OF
A HELLENISTIC VESSEL. WHAT CLAY WAS USED TO CREATE VESSEL OF THE
HELLENISTIC PERIOD? WHAT GLAZES/COLORS WERE USED TO CREATE VESSELS OF
THE HELLENISTIC PERIOD? HOW DID THE GREEKS CONSTRUCT THEIR VESSELS
DURING THE HELLENISTIC PERIOD?
LIST WHAT RESEARCH YOU USED, CD'S, BOOKS ,AND INTERNET SITES-
DRAW WHAT YOUR VESSEL WILL LOOK LIKE BELOW. WHAT CHARACTERIISTICS?
FEET, HANDLES, LID, FOOTED WIDE/NARROW SPOUT,STAND, TALL/SHORT,
DESIGNS/FIGURES (TELL A STORY) AND COLORS. WHAT PERIOD IS THE SHAPE,
DESIGNS, ETC. FROM.

CONCLUSION
AS GROUPS OF STUDENTS YOU HAVE SHARED YOUR RESULTS AND CRITIQUED
YOUR PROJECT WITH THE CLASS. STUDENTS YOU HAVE DISPLAYED VESSELS AT
YOUR CULMINATING ACTIVITY AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL SOMEONE WHAT
YOUR VESSEL LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT CHARACTERISTICS IT HAS, FEET(HOW
MANY), HANDLE OR HANDLES, LID, FOOTED, WIDE/NARROW, SPOUT,
STAND,TALL/SHORT,DESIGNS/FIGURES (TELL A STORY?), AND COLORS. YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT BETWEEN ANCIENT AND MODERN DAY VESSELS, TELL
SOMEONE IF GREEK DESIGNS ARE STILL USED TODAY, HOW AND WHY.
