Second Assignment - Greek Pots

The Blanton Museum of Art, right here in Austin on the University of Texas Campus has a nice collection of ancient Greek pottery.  Please access the link below to visit their interactive web site. 

1. Go to the section called Browse the Collection.  In your first post please tell us about the Greek pot you found most interesting.  Include the name and function of the pot, the date it was made, the location of origin, name of potter or painter if known.  Lastly, describe the content of the painting.
2. Go to the section called What is the Life of a Vase.  Watch a video or explore other features of this section to learn an interesting factoid.  Share that information with us in your first post.  (2 sentence minimum.)
3. Respond to a classmate's factiod on a second post at some time before the deadline.

Both posts are due by midnight Wednesday, October 6th. 
If you have trouble posting you must email me the content of your post in order to get credit.
