Ephesus 1

While in Ephesus you are going to be spending a fair amount of time paying close attention to the detail to be found in the architecture there. Our aim when we come back is to create a facade of either the Library or of the Temple of Hadrian in clay. Each of you will be responsible for a tile (section) of the facade that when it is put together is a recreation of the building in question.

Because we are going to be in Ephesus together discovering all that there is to see I am not going to write lots here about it, but I am going to let you know what I will be expecting to see in your Development Sketchbooks when you get back.

Grade 8 Ephesus Sketches

1. An Ionic Column
2. A Doric Column
3. A Corinthian Column
4. A Statue from Curetes Street

When looking at the various columns, think about how you will depict the using only line drawing. I will have a reference sheet for you to use when identifying your columns.


Grade 8 Ephesus Photographs (we will do these in groups)
These photographs are going to be used as a reference for our sculptural work back in the classroom. The detailed sections of the facades will be put together in a photo montage so that we have a complete and detailed reference to work from.

1. A detailed composite photograph of Ephesus Library
2. A detailed composite photograph of the Temple of Hadrain

I recommend that you check out the sites that I have provided in the links column under the heading Ephesus - there is lots of relevant information there.
