These line drawings are simplified renditions of The Dionysus Cup, by the ancient Greek, Exekias. One is the full image on the inside of the cup while the other is the image of the boat and Dionysus.
Starting with a line drawing is a great way to:
- Shorten the amount of time needed for an art lesson
- Reduce the degree of skill needed for an art lesson
- Allow students to focus on one particular art skill
- Create a concrete, kinesthetic activity for a STEAM, History, or Social Studies lesson
- Relax and color while you connect with a famous work of art
We use this particular line drawing in our lesson plan, “Drawing Archaic Greek Gods Upside Down,” so it is included in that lesson plan.
