Ceramic Greek Vases

This year the 5th graders made ceramic vases for their Greek Symposium. We learned about Greek Art, especially the vases and the stories they told on the facade. Each student traced a vase shape onto a red clay slab. They added narrative images and typical Greek patterns. They attached their vase shape to a small slab vase and base. After their pieces were fired, they were able to add details using neutral colored glazes.
