Grade 6 Life Sized Egyptian Sarcophagus Designs

Here they are: finally! The sixth grade has completed their Egyptian Sarcophagus designs they have been diligently working on for the past two months. Their commitment to undertaking such a large piece of artwork was evident in their enthusiasm for each class they came in. I am pretty sure we could have kept going and creating even more details and designs onto these life sized masterpieces. Here is a quick glimpse into Mr. Putnam's class working on their last day to complete this project.

Collaboration was the main goal of the project. Creating a final piece of artwork that had everyones ideas and designs! 




Students were able to use acrylic paints, Sharpie markers, and oil pastels to add details.
Students added Egyptian symbols and hieroglypics to connect to their lessons in Social Studies about ancient civilizations.
