Museum of Craft and Folk Art Visit

The Museum of Craft and Folk Art (MOCFA) will visit the 6th Grade on Friday, January 27, for a presentation on ancient Greek pottery. In addition to viewing slides and learning about these fascinating artifacts the students will have a chance to create their own piece of Greek art.

In preparation for this visit, I would like the students to spend some time becoming familiar with Greek mythology and thinking about their design ahead of time. A great site for this is

We will visit this in class during our technology periods, but I wanted it to be available here in case they wanted to look at it in their spare time! I hope to have pictures of their creations posted next week. Even better, stop by during the Open House on Sunday, February 5, to see their artwork, their pinatas, and examples of their schoolwork!
