Egypt ART

This is one of my Egyptian art that rm 11 and 12 did. I think it's really cool and fun to make because we had to go through all these stages of making like the tea staining stage where we tea stained the background, then there was a stage where we then found a picture to copy from and to then do practice sketches in our sketch book before going onto our good copy. when that was all done we then went over everything in sharpie, before we died it with die. Also not to mention I finished first in our class and took to weeks to make. I love art!!! 

In this art I chose Anubis as you can see, God of the death was what he was worshiped for. Priests would dress up in Anubis when they mummified important people like pharaohs and kings as they warped them up and put special oils on to help preserve the body 






THANKS See You next time !!!!!


 

Egypt

Egypt more than 3000 thousand years ago, which started out as upper and lower Egypt but then united by the first pharaoh. But what's more, this advanced civilization built to the skies and and worked hard  for the pharaohs to create constructions far from our imagination. Like the most recognizable sculptures such as the Sphinx and the pyramids of giza, are few of what these advanced Egyptians built.
What I mostly learned from was doing my double page spread which some people may think I'm crazy but I actually like doing stuff like that. It was so fun and it made me improve on my Egyptian Knowledge and my Knowledge on word and page layout and the cool art and group activities we did. I just learned heaps like Baboons were trained to climb fig trees to help with the harvests, (They had Baboons in the desert!)       Young boys were paid to be scarecrows! Frightening birds with loud noises and sling shots, the whole purpose of mummification was to preserve the dead person's body, and even the great sphinx was once beautifully coloured with bright reds and blues etc.      
   




Bye Bye For now :)

                       Gymnastics 

Every week rm12 walked down to Nairnville 

and did some gymnastics.

That were all laid out in a different circuit every week. 

some of the circuits were fun, and some challenging, 

then we'll  switch to a different course every 12 minutes.

My favorite parts was the rings, the warm up games, 

the warm down games and of course the air track. 

It was super fun

because we could do all sorts of cool stuff on their 

and its also very bouncy!!!  

I have to say I improved the most on the beam, 

                                              and my posture and balance on it. 

                                              Now I can do all sorts of stuff on there!

Catastrophe

One Thing That I Learned This Week

Wow so many things but just what to choose from ? Well I probably have to say Hieroglyphics. they are so cool, its like a secret code language and looks so effective. I think the Egyptians just blow us away I mean, look they're just so advanced for their age. They have built great pyramids and a complicated network system.

I learned it more deeply by doing our art and translating some words onto it was pretty fun. And rote it down a lot to help me remember. I shall always remember because I learned it in a fun fun way..... By doing art!!!

And even if I forget its always going to be up on the wall somewhere to remind me if I can remember where abouts on my painting I put it...
