Divide class into thirds, research, and illustrate on graph paper:
Fibonacci spiral
Discuss the similarities and differences of the Fibonacci Spiral, Golden Section, and Rule of Thirds.
How could we use these systems in artworks? Discuss the merits and disadvantages of each.

HOMEWORK: due NEXT MONDAY, sketch Fibonacci spirals as...
3.
Read chapter 8.1 in Art in Focus, Greek Art and Architecture, just pages 166-174.
4.
Take notes on graph paper about Greek history and column architecture on pages 170 and 172.
5.
Sketch and label all three column orders: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.
6.
Next to the three columns, draw a unique column of your design, based on something learned in the
Greek art chapter. You may NOT use the internet for this assignment, as your creative ideas are what are
important. Give your new column a title. You will present your column to the class tomorrow as if you
were an architect defending the merits of your design for a new building. All four columns are due
Duesday at the beginning of class.
DUESDAY: COMICS & COLUMNS
1.
Comics: Read your classmates’ Egyptian Art inspired cartoons and leave a complement and a technique
to improve the artwork. You must sign your name to your critique to get credit! Your teacher will put
you in a group of five students so you have four to review. AP students will each go to one of these
groups.
2.
Share your new column with the class using the document camera. Tell us the advantages of using this
new column.
3.
Sketch and label the parts of a temple, as seen on page 170.
Wednesday
1.
Read the rest of Lesson One, about Greek Vase Painting, pages 174-176.
2.
Lesson One Review, page 176: In your previous group of four, answer the question given you and share
with the class. Take notes so you may study for the Greek Test!
3.
ATC #3: Greek:
a.
Using the vase paintings on pages 174-175, Zoe’s photos from the British Museum, and other
Black Figure Paintings from the internet, sketch one or two figures playing a game.
The game must NOT include electronics of any kind.
b.
You will use watercolors, solid temperas, and frisket for this design. Tint the ATC board with
a watery wash of a warm or cool color.
c.
Take photos of people in the poses you need and thumbnail sketch them to fit on your ATC as
small figures or close-ups. For instance, if your game is Twister, you may focus on the feet
instead of the whole body. For basketball, you may focus on the head and arms with the ball.
d.
Lightly draw the figures and props on your ATC.
e.
Add designs on the positive space with frisket; let it dry before painting over it.
f.
Finish your ATC by painting all the positive space in one dark color that goes well with your
negative space wash. You may add words or designs in the negative space.
g.
After all paint is dry, gently erase the frisket by following directions on the bottle or internet.
h.
Sign the back of your card with your full name and ATC #3. This is due Friday, end of class.
Thursday
1.
Work on ATC #3 or Fibonacci, as needed.
Friday
1. ATC #3 is due today!
2. Study for Greek Test using your notes and sketches.
3. Read about the Architectural View Acrylic Painting on page 187 of Art in Focus.
4. Take a walk around campus to choose the best view to draw and paint. Take photos of the area you like
although you will be drawing it live instead of using a photo.
5. Requirements for the project: READ THE RUBRIC!
a. Before painting:
1.
Due today: A written proposal of which architecture and up to four analogous colors you will
use (plus black and white).
2.
Due Monday: A sketch of your composition, using Fibonacci Spiral for the focal point. Your
view may be a close-up or a far view. Choose an unusual angle for artistic vision.
Remember your Fibonacci sketch is due Monday as well.
3.
Due Tuesday: A color mixing wheel using only four analogous hues, black, and white. You
must mix all four analogous hues with white only, black only, and grey. Each mix will have at
least four different values for a total of:
7 colors unmixed + 4 tints + 4 shades + 4 tones= 19 unique colors.
Your teacher will show you how to set up your color wheel palette and draw the wheel.

View the Painting Instructions page on Zoe’s school webpage and follow directions!
You may work on canvas panel, canvas paper, stretched canvas, or plain canvas taped to a board.
5.
Have fun and loosen up!
b. After painting:
Due by Duesday: A written reflection and critique are required after the painting is complete:
1.
Write your name and Greek painting reflection
2.
Write what you learned about in this project. It could be about observational drawing, painting
techniques, Greek art, perseverance, or other work ethic issues.
3.
Write what you did well and what needs to be improved in your drawing and painting skills. Be
specific!
