Hieroglyphs at Don Bosco Technical Academy

Recently, at Don Bosco Technical Academy art teacher Patty Kaminski and her 6th grade art students studied hieroglyphs and created handmade cartouches at home. (See images below.)

This hieroglyphs lesson integrated art with social studies, language arts and math to create a wholistic, arts integration project.  Students engaged with the academic content using technology including Google Classroom to both research the topic of hieroglyphs and create cartouches from home which they later submitted back to their on-line classroom. Students learned to create a personal cartouche using their names and hieroglyphs as inspiration.

WP Art PIR Triada Samaras collaborated with Ms. Kaminski on this lesson to integrate it with the other content areas.  In addition, Professor Samaras read the book Hieroglyphs by Kremena Spengler for the students and their families at home.

Stay tuned!
