Literacy/Social Studies Connection • Myths are invented stories which people around the world used to explain why things are, where things came from, who did something, and how human beings should be. – Discuss the genre. – Read myths from around the world (Examples) • Mentor Text – Write a modern day myth – Percy Jackson

Greek Pottery (Art History) • Ancient Greeks – Much of what we know about the Greeks comes from their pottery. – Scenes from myths, battles, funerals, and fantastic events. – Daily life

Symbols Told a story with symbols. • Lion Skin • Hera’s Crab • Many headed hydra

Symbols Today • Still use symbols to send a message. • Imagery, but more importantly: Elements Form Line Shape Color Texture Space Value Principles Emphasis Balance Harmony Variety Movement Rhythm Proportion Unity

Cover Art (visual culture) • The covers of books and cds us visual clues to tell us a story. Just like the Greek pottery. • Lets look at some of the cd covers you suggested.

Compare/Contrast

Discussion (Aesthetics) • Can things we use everyday be art? • Greek pottery was used everyday, and put in museums today. Is it more valuable today?

Skill Demonstration (Art Production) • Options: – ceramic construction – illustration techniques – silhouettes – figure drawing • Create your own cover art that tells a story about your myth.
