Teaching Tip

I like to do a hands-on art project that somehow relates to the artist or period we are studying.

For example:

• A "Hall of Bulls" rendition in earth tones on crumpled paper to resemble a cave wall
• Egyptian symbols on a folded paper pyramid
• Paper sculpture made of Greek letters

I think they learn more if they are doing rather than just listening to me lecture about history.
