ART - Ancient Roman Mazes

Salve, Team 16

To continue our Ancient Roman study - we are going to look at Roman Mazes.

Let's look at how and why the Romans made mazes, and then discover how to design them for ourselves. Once we have had a 'go' and practised 3 or 4 maze designs on newsprint, we will transfer our best design onto cartridge paper, then use a wax and dye technique to bring them alive.
