Both classes of 7th graders created
their own mummy burial. Vlado and Stefan volunteered for the death mask
and sat through the arduous process
Zoki and Eva made a cast of a mini
mask, while other groups concentrated on creating beautiful decorations
Andrea, Ash, and Kayci were pleased
to have their pictures taken as they created the sarcophogus, and Max and
Nick prepared to make tomb decorations
After the plaster dried, then it was
time to paint. Both classes made their death masks gold (left) and followed
the general paint scheme of King Tut's mask.
Clay
was the preferred medium for the tomb and burial items. We had people building
scarabs, ankhs, household effects, and precious jewelly.
The sarcophogii were painted in all
sorts of royal colors, and a bunch of decorations were ready to be fixed
to the top
Of course, some people were pretty
happy to paint each other instead!
When we were all finished, each group
had a chance to show off the work they'd done.
What a fitting set of burial tribute for
the great king Stutzesses!
