UE/ CONCENTRATED EFFORT!

Quest Montessori UE students have been hard at work researching for their Egyptian paper batik portraits.
This is a complicated project requiring research regarding:  what different hieroglyphs symbolize, rules of EgyptianArt, colors used for royal headpieces, symbols for Egyptian gods. All kinds of research!

Here is how it began.

Students not only researched the hieroglyphs that sounded like their names, they created or copied modern day logos that represented their current interests. They put the selected images and symbols on paper then outline with black marker of charcoal.They carefully add brightly colored headpieces and neck pieces.


Then background colors were mixed and applied carefully (thick poster paint).

I can't wait for the next step...cover the entire piece with jet black ink!

All white areas will turn black and the poster paint will fade, when we wash the paintings off...one day after applying the ink.  Can't wait!  I will post all results!  Everyone is really getting the idea of how rigid the Egyptian rules for Art really were! These should look ancient when finished!
