In the newest entry in this acclaimed series, young readers learn to create objects inspired by such ancient cultures as the Minoans, Mycenaeans, Trojans, Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans. Full-color photographs show the original artifact along with the finished paper replica, while simple instructions and line drawings explain the process of creating it step by step. A typical project is a beautiful Greek amphora vase made in paper or clay. Easy to understand and designed for a wide range of ages, this interactive book features background information and interdisciplinary guidelines that broaden the scope of the activities, touching on the ancient cultures' math, science, architecture, creative writing, and history. More than 60 fun projects are featured. Included is a full-color double-page map of each region with yesterday and today's important points of interest.

Grade 5-8 - These exciting art projects are illustrated with dramatic full-page, full-color photographs. Each activity occupies an inviting spread with a list of materials, clear instructions, and background information on the artifacts and the culture they represent. Finely detailed graphic borders and helpful sketches add to the visual appeal. Projects include a cardboard model of the Parthenon, masks, Greek vases, war shields, mosaics, toys, banners, and tomb paintings. Patterns are provided at the end of the book. Teachers looking for interesting crafts to enhance ancient history lessons will find this volume helpful. - Lee Bock, Glenbrook Elementary School, Pulaski, WI
