YEAR 3: The Egyptians

In Year 3's Egyptian Art project, we started by looking at a range of some of the incredible artwork (paintings, sculptures, carvings and crafts) that the Egyptians produced. We were amazed at the colours and distinctive style in a lot of the artwork.

We then studied the variety of headdresses that were worn by Egyptian Pharaohs looking at the colours and shapes that were used.

The children came up with their own designs for an Egyptian headdress imagining that they were a Pharaoh.

They created their headdresses out of collage. They used a black and white photo of their face and created patterns out of different coloured paper and card.
