Day 1
Students will observe and discuss the art of Ancient Egyptian, practice drawing Egyptian Profile Portraits while making a small sketchbook.
Day 2
Students will take their practice drawings, pick one figure, draw it very large onto the 12X18 piece of paper. The figure needs to be holding or doing something inspired by Ancient Egyptian art.
The student will trace the drawing with a black glue bottle. Small details can be left alone, being carful not to make any smudges.
Day 3
The glue has dried. The image can be colored in with chalk pastels. The colors can be blended together with a paper towel.

Students will perform a self assessment in their art journal answering these questions in complete sentences:
1. Is the face in correct proportion, with correct eye, nose and ear placement?
2. Is the figure holding something or doing something inspired by the drawings in the Ancient Egyptian Sketchbook?
3. Does the drawing fill up the space of the paper, not leaving too much empty space?

During the first day of sketching I just put up on the smartboard a picture slideshow of different Egyptian Portraits from a google image search.
