After learning about Egyptian art students will then make their own form of Egyptian art. Grade Level: 4thGrade • Visual Art Standards • Notice and describe different visual effects resulting from art making techniques. • Compare and contrast art forms, techniques and functions and artistic styles from a variety of cultures and historical periods. • Identify and name the sources for art making ideas (e.g., self, environment and other people). Egyptians and Their Art
Egyptian Thinking Egyptians had a very different way of thinking than we do today. They believed in a second life and that what they were buried with would fallow them into their second life. Egyptians worried more about their second life and what they were going to be buried with more than they though about their life they were living. Back Next Index
The more money an Egyptian had and the higher up in their society they were the more they would have in their next life. This is because they could afford to be buried with fancier and nicer things than the people of lower social stature. They were commonly buried with paintings, carvings, and sculptures.

Kings of Egypt Egyptian kings are also known as pharos. The kings job was to keep the right order of society. This included keeping peace and political stability, performing all needed religious rituals, making sure the people were taken care of, giving justice, and protecting the country from inside and outside danger.

Queens of Egypt Even though the title of king was usually passed down from father to son, the role of mothers and queens were equally important. Throughout Egyptian history the role of queen was mother of the king, and symbol of the powers of creation and rebirth. However, once in a while a queen would take on the roles of the king. In all cases except on special situation, these roles were often very short. Back Next Index
King Tut King Tut was born king Tutankhaten and latter changed his name to Tutankhamun, meaning “the living image of Amun”. King Tut tool power at the young age of 9 and died at the early age of 19 due to a bad injury the could not be treated due to a lack of medicine at the time. King Tut got married right after taking power. Because of King Tut’s young age he had elders working behind him who took care of the Kingdome. Back Next Index
Once King Tut became old enough to start ruling on his own he tried to restore the relationship with Egypt’s neighbors that had been diminished during the previous kings rule. Back Next Index
When King Tut passed away he left the court in a panic because he had no children to take his place as king. Unfortunately the courts could not come up with someone to take his place. Back Next Index
King Tut’s Passing Due to King Tut’s early death he was buried rather quickly and was put into a smaller tomb then originally planed because his was not yet ready. He, like all other Egyptian Pharaohs underwent mummification and was sealed in his tomb seventy days after his death. Back Next Index
Buried along with King Tut inside one of the chambers of his tomb were murals painted on the walls that told his story along with various artifacts from his journey; oils, perfumes, toys from his childhood, precious jewelry, and statues of gold and ebony. The most amazing item found was the stone sarcophagus containing three coffins, one inside the other, the final coffin being made of gold. Back Next Index
Egyptian Tombs Tombs were used by many, not just the Egyptians. However, we know them best because of the Egyptians and their great pyramids. The three pyramids were built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaureand hold the royal mummies and their life effects that were thought to protect and be used by the kings in their afterlife. Though the three pyramids have been robed over many years they still contain hieroglyphs and some surviving artifacts, such as jewelry and furniture discovered in the Giza pyramid complex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6YmFbgSCUg Back Next Index
Mummies The link connected to this photo will walk us through the process of mummification and give us a better understanding of how Egyptians preserved their deceased. Back Next Index
Hieroglyphics Egyptians used Hieroglyphics to tell stories inscribed inside tombs. They also used a simplified form for day to day life. Hieroglyphics are carvings or paintings of animals, humans, and plants that represent sounds that form the Egyptian language. Back Next Index
Our Project The Egyptians took great pride in their pyramids, tombs, and coffins; as well as pride in the mummification of their pharaohs. Each pharaoh was wrapped in cloth at the end of the mummification process and in the wrapping special “treasures” were placed to help the pharaoh in his afterlife. Back Next Index
We will be making our own coffins and miniature mummies. The mummies will be made out of modeling clay. The mummies should be about 4 inches tall and 1 to 2 inches wide (try to stay within these measurements please). Back Next Index
For the coffin you will each receive a Styrofoam container to decorate as a coffin for you mummy. We will be taking a short trip to the computer lab for everyone to type up and print out their name in hieroglyphics along with any other words or saying you would like on the coffin. http://www.discoveringegypt.com/Egyptian-Hieroglyphic-Alphabet.html Back Next Index
Please be creative and feel free to add your own designs to the project. In the end we will be painting the mummies and will be using marker on the coffins. Have Fun! Back Next Index
