| |

|Art History-Students will study facts about Ancient Greece when read Felix Travels Back in Time by their teacher. Students should complete “Bringing |

|compliment will be written in each “Art Partners” sketchbook/journal. |

| |

|Art Aesthetics-Students shall answer an aesthetics question (“Greeks proudly displayed their vases. Vases are functional. Is a vase a work of art or|

|just something an Ancient Greeks used?”) in a discussion group. |
