It's All Greek to Us!





Today we are at the Burrell Collection at Pollock Park in Glasgow. We've been looking at the Ancient Greeks and today's workshop is all about the life and art of ancient Greece. To start off with we all got into the Greek groove by donning our costumes: Boys put on the 'chiton' and girls the 'peplos'.
We then talked about the ancient Greek Olympics and looked at 'Hoplites' or Greek Warriors. Apologies for the violent nature of the video!

Location:Pollok Ave,Glasgow,United Kingdom
