Rome was located on seven hills in west central Italy along the Tiber River, providing fertile farmland and access to sea trade routes. As the Roman Republic expanded across the Mediterranean, it gained control of territories in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The city of Rome had important structures like the Forum, Colosseum, and aqueducts, and religions included the traditional Roman and Etruscan pantheons as well as the newly adopted Christianity. The Roman Republic established systems of government, law, and citizenship, though social classes were divided between the aristocratic patricians and common plebeians.
Creation of Rome. Remus and Romulos
Rome was founded in 753 BC by the twin brothers Romulus and Remus. According to legend, the twins were abandoned as infants and raised by a she-wolf. As adults, they argued over where to build a city, during which Romulus killed Remus. Romulus went on to found Rome and become its first king. Rome later unified Italy in 1870 and remains the capital today, with a population that is over 90% Italian.

Rome was located along the Tiber River in Italy and expanded through military conquests like the Punic Wars. Key resources that contributed to Rome's growth included the Tiber River, fertile farmland, and materials for building. The Roman military organized into legions and centuries, helping Rome establish control. Aqueducts and roads improved infrastructure and trade, while Latin became a dominant language. Politically, figures like Julius Caesar and Trajan attempted reforms that increased their popularity but also corruption. Overspending on the military, unemployment, and inflation eventually weakened the economy and society.
Origins of Rome
The document summarizes the origins of Rome according to both geography and legend. Geographically, Italy's location as a peninsula with mountain passes and plains provided room for population growth, unlike Greece's mountainous islands. Legend says the Trojan prince Aeneas fled to the mouth of the Tiber river, becoming the father of Rome. The twins Romulus and Remus were said to have been rescued by a she-wolf and founded Rome, with Romulus becoming its first king in 753 BCE. However, historians believe people gradually banded together near the Tiber for protection between 800-700 BCE to form the early community of Rome.
Ancient civilizations
The Phoenicians were an enterprising maritime trading culture based in Canaan (modern Lebanon) between 1550 BC and 300 BC. They established major coastal cities and spread across the Mediterranean, gaining fame for their monopoly on purple dye and spread of the alphabet. The Phoenician alphabet, one of the first with a consistent linear form, likely originated from Egyptian hieroglyphs and lacked vowels. It was adopted by the Greeks and evolved into its current form. Phoenicia was later conquered by Persia and divided into vassal kingdoms, and Phoenician influence declined as many migrated to colonies like Carthage.
Egypt
Ancient Egypt was one of the earliest and most advanced civilizations, located along the Nile River in northeast Africa. It was divided into Upper and Lower Egypt, and was ruled by powerful pharaohs who were believed to be gods. The Egyptians built massive pyramids and developed hieroglyphics, mummification practices, and other cultural achievements that still fascinate modern audiences. When the biblical figure Moses demanded the pharaoh release the Israelites, a series of plagues were inflicted upon Egypt until the ruler complied.

At its height in the 1st century BC under Augustus, the Roman Empire stretched from Britain to Egypt. However, military overspending and economic difficulties later contributed to the decline and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.

Rome was located in central Italy and built on seven hills along the Tiber River. Over time, the Roman Empire expanded across the Italian peninsula and eventually spanned Spain, northern Africa, Asia Minor, Gaul, and other regions. The Punic Wars were a series of conflicts between Rome and Carthage that resulted in Rome gaining control of territories like Sicily and Spain. Barbarian invasions in the late empire led to the decline of Roman authority in places like Greece and Gaul.

Rome was located on a peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea and built on seven hills near major rivers like the Tiber. The Romans expanded their territory around the Mediterranean, conquering lands like Gaul and defeating Carthage. They relied on farming, trade, and resources like marble and water from rivers and aqueducts for sustenance and construction of buildings. Their military legions and infrastructure of roads helped spread Roman rule.

The Punic Wars took place in Sicily between Roman soldiers and the Mamertimes over control of the region. While the wars were occurring, the Romans hoped to stop the expansion of Carthage. Rome was located near Greece and Italy, with Sicily farther south. When the Romans raised taxes, the money was often spent lavishly and selfishly by the military on unnecessary buildings. Romans obtained many goods through trade with other lands since items from elsewhere were novel in Ancient Rome. Christianity spread among Romans but Christians faced persecution for their beliefs. The Latin language and Roman Catholicism with belief in one God, Jesus Christ, also became prominent. Aqueducts helped transport water into homes while concrete roads and Greek ideas expanded infrastructure, learning

Differences and similarities of sculptures 2
Environmentally friendly sculptures and modern sculptures differ in their design, materials used, and purpose. Environmentally friendly sculptures are meant to be understood by viewers and use natural materials like wood to share a message about environmental protection, while modern sculptures have complex designs made from materials like plastic that can harm the environment and are intended more for aesthetic purposes than conveying a message. Both types of sculptures reflect modern times rather than historical styles, with environmental sculptures taking inspiration from nature and modern sculptures exhibiting styles like cubism.
Differences and similarities of sculptures 1
Roman sculptures often depicted animals and beasts, whereas Renaissance sculptures usually featured nude human figures. Roman sculptures emphasized accurate details in portraits, while Renaissance sculptures focused more on emphasizing the sculptures themselves. Both Roman and Renaissance sculptures were influenced by Greek art, though Romans copied Greek styles directly while Renaissance artists adapted Greek styles.
Differences and similarities of sculptures 3
Ancient Egyptians and Greeks created sculptures for different purposes and using different materials. Egyptians built sculptures to accompany wealthy individuals in the afterlife, often creating tomb sculptures to hold bodies. They commonly used painted wood, limestone, and sandstone but later used gold and bronze. Greeks mainly used durable marble and bronze for sculptures honoring leaders and gods, also creating mythical sculptures combining animal features. Both civilizations made sculptures representing rulers and deities as well as the Sphinx, though Egyptian versions were larger.

Weekly overview production schedule
1. A production schedule was created by Marie and Amar for a sculpture project spanning 4 weeks. It included researching different sculptures, creating presentations, and designing their own sculptures using recycled materials.
2. In week 4, the group came up with ideas for slogans about the environment to put on their sculpture, and chose "THINK BEFORE YOU WASTE, DON'T KILL CRANE FORD". They created a PowerPoint to present to the governors.
3. In week 10, each student had to make 2 mini sculpture versions out of recycled materials, without using tape. One student's sculpture was taken apart when tape was found, and they had to re-make it completely from
Risk assessment
This risk assessment document outlines safety precautions for a craft project involving cans, dirt, scissors, a glue gun, newspaper, and sculpture construction. Key risks addressed include cuts from open can edges or scissors, burns from the hot glue gun, slips on spilled materials, and objects falling over if not properly supported. Proper materials handling and supervision were required to complete the project safely.
How have costumes and textiles changed over the years
Clothing has evolved significantly over time. Early humans wore animal skins and other natural materials for protection and warmth starting over 100,000 years ago. The development of sewing around 40 AD allowed for more complex clothing like togas and tunics. In the 1770s, the invention of the sewing machine made clothing production more efficient. Throughout history, fashion diversified and became more about self expression, influenced by events like wars, music trends, and expanded material options. Today, clothing design is highly varied and people generally have more freedom to choose their own styles compared to strict standards of the past.
What are visual arts?
Visual arts include mediums such as paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and architecture that primarily stimulate visual perception. They often convey messages and can be used to raise awareness for issues. Visual arts appeal to sight and generally exist as physical objects or experiences that can be seen. Examples include paintings, sculptures, films, and buildings.
Sound wave and golden flapper dress
The sculpture "Sound Wave" is made from melted recycled records bent into the shape of a wave, expressing the artist's feelings about the preciousness of music and people's failure to recycle. It shows his musical tastes and love of music in a creative way. The "Golden Flapper Dress" is made from crushed and recycled bottle caps and tops arranged to resemble the styles of the 1960s in different metallic shades. Both pieces use recycled materials arranged in overlapping patterns to creatively express the artists' messages about recycling in an imaginative and thought-provoking manner.
Presentation on Artist
Robert Bradford is an artist known for his unusual sculptures made from recycled materials. He was inspired to make toy-like sculptures by looking through his children's toy boxes and being intrigued by the colors and forms. Bradford uses a variety of found objects and environmental waste in his artwork, such as magazines, timber, and tree branches, partly because it is inexpensive. He creates human-sized and larger-than-life animal sculptures to imagine what it would be like to be other creatures and represent all living things that share the environment. Bradford assembles his sculptures using techniques like sticking together plastic pegs to form limbs, and credits the original creators of any ideas he adapts for his unique works.
