Design Your Own Greek Temple Your assignment is to design your own Doric temple. You should decide how many columns will grace the façade of your temple and design a program for the sculptural elements in the two pediments, metopes, and interior frieze. You should begin by doing research on a real Greek city or town from this period and then choose an appropriate god to whom the temple will be dedicated. After deciding the size of the temple, you must use your knowledge of Greek mythology to pick meaningful stories for the sculpture. The Parthenon is dedicated to Athena, and the text also covers the Temple of Zeus from Olympia, so try to pick other deities. Apollo, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Artemis, Persephone, and even Hades are possibilities. You may use the same mythology as your wiki page. Make sure you provide illustrations or schematic diagrams explaining which scenes will be used in which part of the temple. Keep in mind I will not be grading on artistic ability but on ideas and use of space. Pay close attention to the awkward triangular space of the pediment, and how you use the continuous band of the frieze. Use the handout on Greek temple architecture for accuracy. After you have designed your temples, write a description of how the space was used, what religious ceremonies took place there and at what times of year, and how these ceremonies were carried out. Due Monday October 19th.
