Beautiful example of a Corinthian column.

Download this image of a Corinthian column and try out some of these suggestions for classroom activities with your students:

Columns were invented by the Greeks many years ago and were later adapted by the Romans, but what significance do columns have?
What is the name of the type of column shown in the image above? What other columns exist? Where did they get their names?
Find an example of each type of column in famous buildings throughout the world.

We'd love to hear your ideas! If you've done a lesson on Greek or Roman columns, ancient architecture, Greece or Italy and have any ideas for the classroom, let us know in the comments section! You could be our next guest blogger!
