Narrative Paintings (Based on art of Ancient Egypt)

Below is a score GUIDE.   It is not an exact science, but is used to determine the grade students will earn for this artwork.

The work is to be a story that is commonly known, published, etc.   Students brainstormed a list with partners in the room of stories they can choose from. 

The stories can be secular, religious, fiction, or histories, depending on what the student wishes to do.

I'm seeing some great things happening in their work.  They're doing a sketch and then an final copy drawing that will be painted. 

The due date is Wednesday after Fall Break.
