Day 1- We looked at examples of King Tut's sarcophagus and discussed Tut's history, Egyptian history, and after life rituals used by the Egyptians. Then using card stock paper, we drew the mask outline step-by-step. Students then went back and added their own face, symbol on the top, and designs on the beard. We went over our lines with Sharpie to make it look nice and neat. We watched Reading Rainbow's Mummies Made in Egypt while we were working.
Day 2- We colored in our masks using crayons, markers, and colored pencils. Once finished, students cut out their masks. I cut slits in the eyes with an Exacto knife so they could easily cut out the eyes. And there we have it, Egyptian Masks!
