Eighth grade students learned about the three types of columns invented by the Greeks...
 |
| Doric |
 |
| Ionic |
 |
| Corinthian |
They also learned that the Greeks invented porticos; a portico is a porch leading to the entrance of a building, supported by columns. The influence of Greek architecture is apparent in many homes in Savannah, Georgia.
 |
| The Sorrel Weed House |
 |
| The Mercer Williams House |
 |
| The Owens Thomas House |
After viewing some examples of Greek-revival architecture, students used architecture templates, rulers, texture plates and colored pencils to design their own Savannah homes with porticos.
