A modern take on Greek pottery design

Students in Art Appreciation created designs based on Greek pottery.
We discussed images traditionally portrayed on Greek pottery.
Students had three options on this project:
1) Create a design that depicted a scene from Greek mythology
2) Create a design based on a scene from they own lives
3) Create a design based on a popular story from their own time/culture
Watercolors and ink were used to complete their pieces.
Students had the option of creating their pieces using with black or red-figure pottery as their source of color inspiration.
