SELF SARCOPHAGI
Students will create life size personal Sarcophagi. They will cover the composition with personal “hieroglyphic” symbols to tell their own story. This project will help students connect with cultures outside of their own, specifically the culture and traditions of ancient Egyptian. They will cut out their body shape from large yellow paper, create the face and general body features of their sarcophagus, and decorate the entire life sized coffins with ancient symbols and hieroglyphics. The goal is to expose the kids to ancient Egyptian culture through after death rituals, important symbols, and storytelling.
