CONTENT OF ACTIVITY

The Hellenic Post has invited the students to participate in the creation of the new exhibition of the Greek stamps. The exhibition is renewed every year and is being displayed at the Hellenic post offices all over Greece. The students should download the contour of the stamp and then create inside it their own drawing inspired of the Greek revolution. The site that includes the artworks is not available at the moment. Due to the fact that the schools were closed the activity was virtual and students worked at home, therefor there are no pictures available. A guidance about the history of the Greek stamps, the thremmatology that’s inspired from the period of time depending on the occasion (Olympic games, great events, historical facts etc) and of course the heroes or the themes of the historical period that could be used for inspiration were given to the students.
