ART: Greek Architecture

We are starting spring off with some great projects! High school art has created their own designs of Greek temples. We studied about Greek architecture and the Greek gods, goddesses, and monsters.

They had to use symbols and colors inspired by their god. They also had to write a short paragraph telling about their god/goddess.
