November 19th Research!

__**Sculptures**__ Many Roman sculptures were inspired by the Greeks and the Etruscans Became popular after they conquered the Greeks around 146 BC Different style than Greeks Used to decorate public places Some wealthy Romans had sculptures made to decorate their homes. Then it was used to honor the ruler, celebrate victories, or to promote the state.
 * Greeks: portrayed people in the ideal form
 * Romans: More realistic

__**Sculptors**__ Not many names of sculptors recorded statues created to serve the needs of the customer, not because of the artist's creativity Skopas, Praxitele, Phidias, and Lysippos

__**Famous Painters**__ The development of realistic technique is credited to Zeuxis and Parrhasius

__**Work Journal!**__ November 26th Well, I've been sick, so I haven't written in my work journal. But basically, I've helped write the outline for our outline (if that makes sense). I wrote the first draft. Last week, I did a lot of research and found two secondary source links, and this week I've found three primary sources. I did as much work as I could, and was kept updated by emails from my group members while I was at home.

Thanksgiving Break We all met on Monday, December 1st to work on our video. It took us a long time (a few hours), but we got it done. Now, all we need to do is record voices for the video and practice our presentation.

December 2nd Mary Rose came in during my history class and we talked about how we could make our games more fun for the class, and take up a little more time. During 6th and 7th period, our group recorded our voices for the AWESOME video, but ran into some problems getting it on the actual video. December 3rd will be when we make last minute changes and practice our presentation.

December 3rd We met during 8th period to watch our FINISHED video! We also talked a little bit about our presentation, and I told them about when we're presenting (since I found out first). We had some homework for tonight to finish our written portions (see homework page), and mine was to make final touches to the outline. So I made it a little longer, and I hope a little better! :)
