Welcome

 

This blog is set up for the students and families of Southeast Elementary School in Howell, Michigan. It's purpose is to share the artistic achievements of the fifth grade classes by showcasing their art work.

To begin, I would like to thank Mr. Gorton (our technology teacher) for helping the fifth graders research information to deepen their understanding of this lesson.

In this lesson students researched the art of Greek vase painting dating from 600-408 BC. After researching the art, students created a narrative scene depicting Greek life. Students were given the choice of two techinques to use representing the black-figure or red-figure style of vase painting.

The posts within this blog will tell you what the students have learned and the creative processes used in designing their vases. I encourage you to spend some time viewing this blog and I hope that you will be inspired to comment on their hard work.
 
Thank you and enjoy!
Mrs. Guetschow
