Abstract

This work aims to describe the activity of creating classical

amphorae using papier-mâché, carried out in 2024 as part of the "Contos de

Mitologia" project at the Letters College of the Federal University of Juiz de

Fora, with students from the 5th and 6th grades of elementary school at Escola

Municipal Presidente Tancredo Neves. The basis was the myths taught

throughout the first academic semester of the year, all taken from the work

“Metamorphoses”, by the poet Ovid. The main objective of the activity was to

allow the artistic expression of the students reconciled with the learning of

elements of Classical Culture and Portuguese language, especially about the

importance of the use of amphorae in Antiquity. At the end, an exhibition was

held at the College itself during the “Classical studies week”.
