This term, students will be making pots inspired by Egyptian canopic jars. They are to choose an animal that represents them, such as a fox or lion, and make a careful drawing of its head. The drawing should fill the page and use shading and color. Students should also collect images of the animal's head from different angles. Higher grades require more tones and views in the drawing to depict texture, depth, and a complete picture of the animal.
