Ancient Egyptian Style Carved Tablets

 Grade 7 students created these Ancient Egyptian inspired carved tablets from plaster.
 After studying the designs used in artefacts and heiroglyphics, each student drew a design on paper. We made a plaster block by mixing up plaster in the bottom of an icecream container. Once set, the plaster was popped out of the container, the edges were sanded and the students drew their designs onto their block in pencil. Carving tools were used to carve out their design and finished blocks were painted to look aged.
