Ancient Greek artifacts?
I have a project I'm working at the school. (: And I have some ideas for Greek artifacts. It has to relate to the Ancient Greek art and / or literature. At this point, my pottery and frescoes. How-To's are appreciated too. By the way, does anyone what kind of paint used to paint air dry clay? I need to make a terracotta color, and then use black paint some designs. Thank you.
Do not forget that the Greek art also includes fantastic sculptures in marble and bronze. The ancient Greeks were also very skilled in jewelry design. Take tour of museums in Athens to get an idea of other forms of Greek art. Http: / / www.greece-athens.com/intresting.php As for the painting of the clay, you can use acrylic paint. Here are some tips on painting that is safe for your project: http://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=448696 Good luck and enjoy!
