Coloring Outside the Lines
Viewing a work of art in a museum setting is much different than the way it would have originally been displayed or even the way someone would display an object in their home.
The objective for this coloring activity is not only for the student to color the work of art, but to draw an imaginary environment around the object.
Jomon Jar
This jar was made during the Jomon period (10,500–300 BCE) in Japan. Although we are not entirely sure how this vessel would have been stored (either in the ground or hung), we do know they were used primarily for storing food. Artisans added decoration by rolling a rope over the wet clay.
