Ancient Egypt

Were are working on Ancient Egypt. I've done loads of sketches from books about Ancient Egypt. I've drawn Kings, animals, Mummies, statues, and Hieroglyphics. This is work for my final exam. The starting point is Family Tree, so I thought about goign back in time. I like Ancient Egypt because its old and I like the Kings, Mummies and animals. How they have been made and seeing them in the museum. It's amazing that it was all done such a long time ago.

This is the God Anubis in paint

The desert and the Pyramids. The King is buried in the big tall one!

This is a Mummy I took a couple of hours to draw the original at the British Museum. It was in a glass case.I'm very pleased with it. I took my time and put a lot of detail in so it was liek the original.

I have copied a nice tablet and Bill showed me how to use shading to make it stand out well.

This is the front entrance to the British Museum that we went to on a trip. We went in and did loads of drawings of ancient egytian artifacts and we talked a lot about them too.

There were loads of tablets that we saw. The best one that I liked had paint and colours.

This is the Mummy that I drew. it has the real Mummy inside from 3000 years ago!

This is the biggest statue ever! It's one of the Kings. it was near the middle of the museum.
