Hello, dear students! I am Ms Gloworm with art, but please, call me Glo! I'm am very happy to have you in my class, so I can teach you all about art! It looks like we only have one student today, Mathilda, but if you want to join, please do!
***
Today is about the wonderful land of art! It may not be so much as doing art today, but learning about it...getting the feel of it!
***
Today we are going to be learning about the contrast of Roman and Egyptian art.
***
Egyptians painted in stiff, stylized poses. Greek and Roman painted showed humans in a natural realistic way. Compare and contrast ancient Egyptian and Roman paintings featuring people.
***
Here's what I want you to do, I want you to go to Google, or get an art book, or something like that, and try to find ancient Egyptian and Roman paintings. Then I want you to write a five sentence essay on the difference.
***
You paper will be graded when returned.

Sorry Glo, but hey, who wants to write essays out of school? I might if I had the time, but my history teacher is already making me do this insane Ancient Egypt project that's gonna take up the rest of my weekend...

Google is just so awesome.
Let's see then:
While both ancient Egyptian and Roman artists made beautiful and meaningful artwork, they have many differences. Egyptians prefer to paint gods (they belivied in the underworld, which the gods guarded), however Romans painted flowers, Nymphs, (tree faires) oceans, and pretty much all the other beautiful things to fin in Rome. Scrolls are most of used in Egypt, were they would use berries or flowers to suply paint. Romans did use canvases of some sort, although using minerals, animals, and vegetable matter to create beautiful light colors. They both certinetely most have succeded, thoguh, because just look at all the wonderful ancient paintings museums today have?
So, Glo, how did I do? :)

Very well done Mathilda! I'm taking 1 point off for a few spelling difficulties, but since Art isn't so much about spelling, I'm still giving you an A.
(October 13, 2009 - 10:00 pm)
Thanks, Glo. ((By the way, most of those were typos, but yeah...))
(October 14, 2009 - 3:29 pm)
You still did very well! A new lesson will be up on Monday.
(October 17, 2009 - 5:00 pm)
Ms. GloWorm? I just wanted to remind you that it's Monday today.
(October 19, 2009 - 3:49 pm)
Sorry, I meant next Monday! Art will be every two weeks!

Hi, Glo. I was wondering if I could join your Art class. Here is my essay:
Ancient Egyptian and Greek painting styles were very different from one another. Egyptian paintings had a very stiff, plotted style, yet the lines were very simple. Greek painters portrayed people in a flowing, relaxed style, as if their brush was gliding off their "canvas". Greek paintings seem to almost always have the background be outdoors, sometimes in battle. On the other hand, Egyptians had their painting be set either in the Underworld, the Afterlife, or by kings and queens. Romans shared the same painting style as the Greek artists did, so the paintings were very similar.
I hope I passed! :) And this is based on the research I did. Different paintings may have come up depending what search engine you are using and things, but I imagine you knoww that. :)

I would love to enroll in this art class, but I didn't know you had to write essays in art. I think it would be better if we explained a picture we drew for art, and then you could grade it. But I still think this a cool class! And I love the name Glo!

Choco - You can only enroll in two classes, unfortuantly (the principal decides, not me!). So which ones will they be?

Ema - A! I loved it!

Sorry, I don't want to join any of the classes any more. Please post when you start a new semester. And Gloworm would it be okay if made a tutoring post, so that I could help people with the stuff your teaching, and the stuff they are learning in real school. Also if it would be okay if I made a school for the kids who are rejected out of your school because you have to many. I am not trieng to copy your idea. I think your idea is a great idea, but not everyone can join.
