Tutankhamun Ancient Egypt Action Pack . An introduction to hieroglyphs and their purpose with slides, and handouts.
Students form into groups of no more than six.
Individual artists didn't sign their work and it was not important to make new and different designs but to repeat designs from the past that everyone could recognize. The purpose of art was to express ancient Egyptian's belief in an afterlife. Each member creates their own sketch of a mummy case, and other design elements, many of which could symbolize everlasting life, used on real mummy cases. Each group member will discuss and share their sketches with each other. The group will then pool and integrate ideas into a final draft.
