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.

Charcoal Statue

This is a charcoal drawing. First I saw a sculpture in the Tate Modern called Large Tragic Head by Jean Fautrier. I did a pencil drawing of it. The I came back and drew the shape of the head big using charcoal. I did 4 drawings trying to develop the design. This is the third.

Colden Bleu

I have drawn an actor from Highschool Musical in felt tip. I like the way I did the hair!

Alex on a Ship

This is a picture of my friend Alex. I used acrylic paint. I started by mixing the cream colour for the face and neck. The colour is lighter where the sun is reflected in his face. I used different shades. Then I did the hair and outline in greyish black. I made that with blue, red and yellow. The background is like the ocean. I looked at a painting by Picasso called Self-Portrait, 1907. I like the lines that make the face stand out of the background.

A Drawing of a man standing near the city on a building.

• This man is the King of the city That's why he is on top of the tallest building. I did this drawing in pencil and used shading. It's based on a photograph I saw at the National Portrait Gallery.

Nick's model head

"I have started working in clay. I started with a ball of clay, then I worked on the nose, eyes and mouth. I smothed it down and made the features stand out. I've done some clay work before but not for a long time. I love messing with clay and makign my own shapes. I really enjoyed making this."
