Egyptian Clay Scarabs

A lesson I learned and altered back in student teaching was taught early in the semester. 6th graders begin at prehistory and cave art. The advance through utilitarian art of Neolithic Era and Ancient China with macrame key fobs. When we study ancient Egypt, we learn hieroglyphics and design cartouches. After that, we create the clay scarab beads and glaze. The fobs are combined with the beads and here is the result from the whole class.
