This week, the students took a deeper look into Egyptian art, focusing on the characteristics and themes found in wall paintings and tomb paintings. They explored how the human figure was depicted, why certain body parts—such as the eyes and chest—were shown from the front, while the nose was drawn in profile, and what these stylistic choices meant in ancient Egyptian art. After learning about these features, the students practiced expressing them through their own drawings.
To extend the lesson, the class used large sheets of paper to create artworks inspired by Egyptian wall paintings. Each group worked together to illustrate different scenes and images, collaborating to bring their ideas to life. Working in pairs encouraged teamwork and allowed students to share roles and support each other throughout the project.
We are excited to see how their final pieces will come together in the coming weeks.
