These resources are everything you need to teach a 2 week unit on Egyptian Cartouches. Shapes (geometric and organic) are discussed. Students also learn about how the art of carving changed over time in Egypt and the purpose of cartouches (functional art) in honoring the graves of mummies. Symbolism of the heiroglyphics is discussed. Final projects involve carving a cartouche into soap.
