3rd grade Egyptian portraits

The 3rd graders began a unit on the art of Egypt in art class. We looked at ancient drawings and writing on the inside of pyramids. We talked about how the Egyptians painted people in a side profile view yet the body was facing forward and the head was to the side. We noticed that the eye of the portrait was always drawn from a front view even when the face was a profile view! Even though this is incorrect we drew portraits of Egyptian kings step by step and we too drew the eye from a front view. We outlined them in black Sharpie and then painted them. They turned out really nicely!!
