Drawing to learn pt. 2 - Royal Dogs

There's a great exhibit up at the Field Museum on the Ancient Greeks. Hundreds of objects are on load from Greece, including some never seen out of the country before.  Many, like those below, are gold!!!  Sketching these rondels taught me that the Mycenaeans knew about the drawing compass, and they knew how to divide a circle into 60º segments using the compass. Pretty impressive. I didn't learn this for a while.  I also noticed the prevalence of dogs in aristocratic art. I'm pretty sure I can use this when I'm teaching the Odyssey (several good doggy passages there).
