Sorting
out Classical Art
Classicism is made up of several subdivisions of art classifications.
Here's an opportunity to classify 9 images of Classical art into the correct
periods - Hellenic, Hellenistic, or Roman.
If you are using an iPad, Nook, Kindlefire, or other such device, here is a

of the Project.
Identifying
Classical Art
This is actually a companion project to the previous one.
In this exercise you get to identify 5 actual art works by name, or in some
cases determine the artist. It's a great way to see if you know names and titles
associated with some of the major works of Classicism.
Ovid
Jeopardy
This semester we are not reading Ovid so this project would
be mostly impossible unless you were a budding classics expect! But, its here
just the same. Here's your opportunity to go head-to-head with Marcus in a rousing
game of Jeopardy. All the categories deal with facets of Ovid's Metamorphoses
focusing on the Books read for class. You get to choose the category and attempt
to answer the question to win "Ovid Dollars," but miss the question
or pass on it and Marcus will try himself to gain the dollars.
"Recovering"
Rome
For most of us the image we have of Rome are the noble ruins
that grace the city landscape. But to really appreciate the splendor of Rome
in its days of glory you have to try to imagine these structures not as they
look today, but rather as they would have appeared to Caesar himself. This is
an attempt to help you do just that. Six monuments shown first as they look
today and then magical recast into their original glory.
