Egyptian Art

In 3V we have been learning all about the Ancient Egyptians.  We have been studying paintings and hieroglyphs left behind by the Ancient Egyptians, and in our art lessons, we have been making clay tiles depicting Ancient Egyptian people.  We were helped by the ladies from Art Base who were able to share their expertise with us.

First, we designed templates for our people: we made a man and a lady.  Then, we rolled out our clay and used the templates as a guide to cut out the shapes.  We added some extra details to the basic cut outs, and then, once the clay was dry, we were able to paint them.

Once the tiles are completely finished we will add them to our class display.

Don't they look fabulous?
