Greek Goldberg


Today we learned about Greek mythology and even made our own versions of greek myths.We got to make paintings inspired by Georgia O'Keefe's artwork.We learned more about Rube Goldberg and how he loved to make comics that show how Americans make things more challenging than they need to be.

The myths we learned were the ones of Pandora's Box, Arachne and Athena. We also learned of the history of greek mythology and different cultures.Many myths date back to 40,000 bc and are still around today.

Rube Golberg was well know for his comics and "inventions". He would show how to be sure you remember to mail your wife's letter (shown above) and many , many more.
We learned these things from www.rubegoldberg.com
