Title: Day 3- Egyptian Legacy Tablets
Day 1- Greek and Roman
Art/Architecture [Blue Prints]
Curriculum Theme: Leaving a Legacy
Lesson Plan Number: 4
Cooperating Teachers: Teri Patton, Kim Howard
Student Teachers: Meredith Pyle
Grade Level: 5th
and 6th
Date Taught: March 16, 2010 [Stephanie Danker- observation evaluation]
Aim/Goal of the 5-wk Curriculum:
• Fifth and sixth grade students will explore and evaluate their actions and beliefs in
order to further understand the impact they have on others and their environment.
The focus of this curriculum surrounds the term “legacy.” The inspiration for the
theme derives from topics the students are discussing in their core classes. We
will explore our own legacy by studying and reflecting upon the legacies and
movements of other cultures. The different cultures include that of the Egyptians,
ancient Greeks and Romans, and Mayan American Indians. The students will
experiment with 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art forms to express their
knowledge of the various cultures and movements, artistic techniques, and
understanding of their personal actions and beliefs that merge to form their ideal
legacy.
o Project #1- Personal actions
o Project #2- Improving your community
o Project #3- Ideal hero/legacy

! Today’s events
• Discussion, demonstration, sketchbook time
! General Greek Art/Architecture
• Greek Art dates back to 3000 BC. It consists of wall
paintings, pottery, sculptures, and architecture. The images
that you are all probably used to seeing or may have seen
before are dated from around 500 BC on. The earliest
buildings consisted of small houses or huts. As the years
went by houses began to be constructed with stone. In turn
leading to larger buildings for different purposes such as
temples for worship or palaces for leaders. The Parthenon
is one of the most recognizable examples of ancient Greek
architecture.
! General Roman Art/Architecture
• The Roman Empire’s history is later than the Greeks. It
began after 1 AD. Like the Greeks, they had paintings,
sculptures, and most importantly architecture. We owe
much thanks to the Roman’s for their great achievements in
architecture. The Romans brought some new ideas to
architecture: they built in brick and concrete, and they used
the arch, the barrel vault, and the dome. They built theaters
and amphitheaters, temples, palaces, basilicas, bath
buildings, apartment blocks, restaurants and houses all
over, from England to Iraq.
! Architecture: Greek Parthenon
• In the 440s BC, the Athenians hired two great architects,
Callicrates and Ictinus, and a great sculptor, Pheidias, to
Prairieview Ogden South, 5th
and 6th
Grade

rebuild the Parthenon. It is made of marble and the
dimensions are around 101x228 feet.
! Architecture: Roman Pantheon:
• However, Roman architecture shows the influence of the
development of new engineering skills and non-religious
monuments, whereas Greek architecture showed more the
influence of gods and ideas of physical perfection in the
development of their architecture. The Romans developed
not only new ways to build more efficient buildings but
also an entirely different purpose for the building to be
built. They had a sense of practicality to their structures.
• The Greek people built beautiful architecture for the
worship of their gods, and a large percentage of the ancient
Greek architecture that we still know today were temples.
Though the Romans built temples to their gods, the Roman
style was more predominantly seen in public dwellings and
social gathering areas, such as basilicas and forums, than in
their temples. In fact, a majority of the temples that the
Romans built were nothing more than copies of Greek
temples, with the exception of the domed Pantheon.
• Another major difference between Greek and Roman
architecture was the purpose behind the design. Greek
architecture was viewed as a piece of art that would give
pleasure to the gods. The Greek designed buildings as a
sculpture in a sense, with all of the beauty to be viewed
from the outside. Roman architectural style turns this
around. Although their buildings are beautiful on the
outside, the inside is equally beautiful, with the many-
colored walls and paintings, and a use of space concerned
Prairieview Ogden South, 5th
and 6th
Grade
9
with the lighting of the room so that the interior decorations
could be seen clearly.
• In summary, the superior engineering skills of the Romans
played a big part in their architecture and set it apart from
their Greek counterparts. Though the origin of their ideas
came from Greek architecture, the Romans improved
greatly in the way in which they organized and improved
those ideas. They made many new innovations in
architecture, produced ground-breaking designs and
building materials leaving behind an impact on architecture
that can still be seen today.
! Project #2 description
• We will be making blueprints for our second project.
Blueprints are the plans or the design of a building. The
purpose of the building is to be beneficial to our
community, to our country, or to the world. Think about the
building around your or the lack of buildings. What does a
certain community need? How will this building be helpful
to the people who go there?
o Examples: homeless shelters, boy and girls clubs,
library, park, restaurant, school, gym, etc.
! Modern Blueprints
! Step #1: brainstorm and sketch
• Who will go to your building? Why is it helpful? How is it
unique? What are all of the characteristics?
Prairieview Ogden South, 5th
and 6th
Grade

• Demonstration – 5 minutes
o Explain activity for the day- first sketching for the big project: designing
blueprints for a building that you think would be beneficial to your
community, country, or world.
! First, students will brainstorm on their own. Then they will get
with a partner and finish brainstorming about their building.
• Students will decide every little detail about their building.
Why is this building important? Who will go there? How is
it custom? How does it fit into the community? What are
the characteristics?
! After brainstorming, partners will sketch thumbnail drawings of
their building, different design for each thumbnail (3).
• Lastly, student will choose the final design that they will
use for their large blueprint.
o Show students the size of paper they will be
working on. 12x18” blue paper with white colored
pencil for the design.
o Students may also design the logo/title for their
building and include it in the corner of their large
paper.
• Work Session – 15 minutes
o Students will spend time brainstorming ideas for a building that they think
will benefit their community, country, or world. Then they will sketch their
ideas as well as thumbnail blueprints in their sketchbooks.
Prairieview Ogden South, 5th
and 6th
Grade
11
! The student will first brainstorm on their own, then with their
partner. After they create 3 different thumbnails for 1 building,
they can draw a larger sketch to include more detail.
• Clean-Up – 2 minutes
o Students will put their materials back in the appropriate places- their art box.
o Students will make a pile with their sketchbooks- 6th
grade: back corner, 5th
grade: empty desks in back.
• Closure – 3 minutes
o At the beginning of class you completed your tablets. Now I will bisque fire
them, then clear glaze, and lastly, glaze fire your tablets. I should have those
completed in 2 weeks.
o Recap of discussion and what will happen next week.
! Today we explored the famous architectural achievements of
Greece and Rome. We are very thankful, especially to the Romans,
for mastering all that they did for architecture.
! After learning about ancient studies, you brainstormed ideas for
designing your own building.
• Design a building that is beneficial to you community,
country, or world. Why is this building important? Who
will go there? How is it custom? How does it fit into the
community? What are the characteristics?
• You also worked with a partner. How did that go?
• Can a group describe their building?
! Next week, you will be able to collaborate with your partner to
draw your blueprints. You will be able to add details and
descriptions.
o Great job everyone! I’ll see you next week.
