A Year of Art: The Ancient World

Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome...these the first few names that popped into my head when I think of the ancient world. These civilizations have a rich history and culture (I'm personally partial to the myths of these civilizations). Most have also produced a rich collection of art pieces that can be seen in museums around the world.

Some examples of art from these cultures -

Egyptian

Greek

Roman

Some ideas to inspire you:

• Create a model/drawing of a building based on Greek and/or Roman architecture
• Illustrate a myth
• Create your own cuneiform seal
• Create your own hieroglyphic tablet 

Read some myths, look at some art, learn some new historical facts and then create your piece! The sky is really the limit.
