Narrative Artwork

Today students were introduced to Narrative art (art made for the purpose of telling a story). 

We used Ancient Egyptian Culture as our focus for understanding how and why Narrative are it used. 

Students were asked to think about how the stories they watch on TV,  movies, etc, are being used to "shape" our culture, and how it is no different in most other cultures as well.

Thought for the Day: "Those who tell the stories, shape the culture." 

Narrative art can play an important role in shaping our minds and can teach us things even when we're not aware we're learning them. 

Here's the link to the Power Point we took notes from today:  Ancient Egyptian Art

Students are beginning to create a sketch for a Narrative Painting of their own, using ideas they brainstormed for stories they are familiar with that are commonly know or published. 

       EX:   Bible Stories, Books, Plays, Histories.
