Students design Egyptian stele, draw Mesopotamian animals, experiment with Chinese brush painting, and practice detailed incising in their creation of clay mummiform figures. Other projects include a Greek vase and classical Greek temple, a charcoal and chalk pastel piece inspired by a Roman portrait, and a dreamlike story using colored markers on a transparency inspired by Marc Chagall's America Windows.
