Greif’s innovative teaching idea, “Painting History,” is focused on opening students’ minds to world history through the study of art in ancient civilizations. Students will learn how art was created in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, Rome, and Greece, and then will create their own art project that is signature to each culture.  Greif will provide the opportunity for students to discover the Valley of the Kings and King Tut’s tomb, design a drinking vessel from Greece, create a terra cotta warrior to protect them, and paint an oil lamp from Rome — all through the art assignments following each unit. These projects will span a school year and will allow students to learn about ancient history in a different and creative way.
