Map of Greece

I am currently a student at Colorado University Denver studying Fine Arts with an emphasis in Drawing. I have chosen Greece as my location to research and further my knowledge about it's geography and physical characteristics. Last summer I was lucky enough to visit Monte Negro, Albania, and Greece. While there I couldn't help but want to know more about the landscape and the ocean that surrounds it. The entire time I as mesmerized by the beautiful blue water, mountain rages, and chains of islands.

While Greece is fascinating in todays modern world it has always been a historically rich rich culture and country. Greece has several historical landmarks, temples, architecture, statues, and other great works or art. Throughout this course I hope to learn about the landscape, ocean, climate, population, architecture, and much more.
