Description of Coloring Pages: A variety of clay pot shapes and types from ancient Greek, Etruscan and Roman peoples. Student may draw traditional patterns or make up their own for coloring exercise. Educators may also cut stencils for students to draw with on "clay" coloring construction paper before using black markers to make designs on top of their "paper pots." An exercise like this one is good to use both before making a miniature clay pot in art class or to also supplement a reading activity about ancient culture in a regular classroom.
