Rules that Governed Art in Ancient Egypt 

Using the MLA approach to teach about Ancient Egypt, teachers can show their students how to draw like an Egyptian. Students will learn the rules that governed the way Egyptian craftsmen reprsented their subjects on the walls of the ancient tombs.

The Unit contains a reproducible master of a grid similar to the ones that Egyptian artists would have used. Using a copy of this grid and armed with the basic rules of proportion, and the rules applying to front view and prolile, students are able to accurately reproduce Egyptian art.

In the same SubUnit students learn about the pharaoh, Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti. There is a short play that can be photocopied for each character.

By taking part in this drama students learn about the new city that Akhenaten built in the desert, and the reasons for his break with religious tradition. They have a glimpse of his family, their lifestyle and beliefs.
