This is an easy and inexpensive art project for your students to create while studying Ancient Greece and Rome, and it looks great on the wall. I have been doing this for years.

We went back to the drawing board and decided to make a paper mache Greek-style pot, using instructions in the Story of the World Volume One Activity Book, and gleaning various ideas online. Mixing…
