As part of their Ancient Egyptian unit this term, Larch class have been learning about the history of Egyptian Canopic jars.
We have designed our own Canopic jar in our sketchbooks, explored patterns, learnt about the Egyptian artist Awaa Awad, and created our armatures from paper cups, newspaper, and tin foil. We then used modroc for the final layer, before applying our base coat with acrylic paints.
Today, we used our knowledge of Egyptian patterns and colours to add decoration to our sculptures. We used various shades of acrylic paint and paint pens to add detail using our sketchbook designs.
They are finally finished and look at the incredible results! You have worked so hard this term Larch class – these sculptures will look beautiful displayed around the school.
