START WITH ART: Wreath

Good morning! We begin each day by examining a piece of art from history. Today’s artwork is pictured below. Take a look, then read the questions to the students/children in your life and watch how starting the day with art can ignite creativity and critical thinking!

Title: Wreath

Date: 4th-3rd century BC

Medium: Gold

Dimensions: 20.3 x 21.6 cm

Start with Art Questions:

• In ancient Rome, military commanders and emperors were crowned with wreaths of triumph. Would you like to wear a golden wreath? How would you feel wearing such a crown? 

• Describe the golden leaves. What words would you choose to describe this wreath? 

By exploring these questions, we not only deepen our understanding of the artwork but also hone our ability to think critically and creatively. So, whether you're a parent, teacher, or simply an art enthusiast, seize this opportunity to spark meaningful conversations and inspire a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
