Description
In this ARTSEDGE lesson, students identify the character traits of each Muse, Grace, or Fate. The Muses of ancient Greece inspired poets, playwrights, dancers, actors, musicians, and scientists. The Graces added life to a party and the Fates determined a life's destiny. Students study some writings of ancient Greek literature and discover how artists throughout the ages have used the Muses in literature, music, dance, theatre, and the visual arts. They then create a line or two of literature, as well as a dance, music, and choral speaking performance based on a specific Muse, Grace, or Fate. Less
