Million Dollar Ming Dynasty Vases 4th grade lesson

4th graders learned that a ming dynasty vase recently sold at a London auction for $23.6 million dollars! We looked at photos of real Ming vases using our art room technology made available thru a grant 2 years ago.  This project has several steps which are available at ARTEASCUOLA website.

 

Thanks to my intern, Ms. S (who loves all things Chinese) 4th graders got to try a few Chinese symbols to finish out their project. This was her last lesson with us, we will miss you Ms. S! 
 
I love the 3D look with the shadow under each vase, and the intricate designs they scratched into their vase shapes.  They look like a million dollars...
