Art from Egypt.

[Warmup]
Go to Artsconnected and look at one piece of art from each of the Egyptian Kingdoms (Old, Middle, New). Choose your favorite and answer the following questions:
1)What do you notice?                                                 
Use descriptive terms to explain what you see/hear (as if explaining to someone not present).
 I notice that...


We are having a contest for the best description. Be very detailed. You want to explain it so a blind person who has never seen the art before knows exactly what it looks like. The person who describes their piece of art the best will win a ride down to lunch or back up (with Mr. H) on the elevator for themselves and one friend. 

[Guiding Questions]
What was life like in ancient Egypt?
What advantages did Egyptians have over other people during this time period?
What kind of belief system did they have?
What kind of social structure did they have?

[Vocabulary] Know, learn and remember these vocabulary terms: Rosetta Stone, Maat and Istef, (Write the definition, use it in a sentence and find/create an image that helps you remember what it means.)

Today's assignment can be found in my shared folder and is due at the end of the hour.
