In Ancient Egypt, many animals were thought to be the embodiment of certain gods and goddesses; cats were believed to represent the goddess Bastet. Consequently, they were raised in and around temples devoted to Bastet. When they died, they were mummified and buried in huge cemeteries, often in large communal graves. From about 332 B.C. to 30 B.C., animals began to be raised for the specific purpose of being turned into mummies. The mummies were sold to people on their way to worship a god...

Our group’s topic was an Egyptian Cat. For our designs we had a large cat, one was a straight on view and the other was a side profile. We incorporated hieroglyphics into our designs containing the main colors gold, blue, and red. Black and green were also used in creating our designs.

They learned that William, the cute blue hippo found in a tomb, was actually feared by ancient Egyptians. Hippos would hide in the Nile, then flip unsuspecting boats that came near. They also came on shore and trampled precious crops. William was found with his legs broken to prevent him from doing harm in the afterlife. Students drew a hippo by combining large, simple shapes for the body, head, and legs. They drew on the back. As they cut, they remembered to STOP when a line bumped into another line so no parts were cut off. They drew the details with a Sharpie on the clean side. A cut paper border of Egyptian colors was inspired by Egyptian artwork.

This well-formed statuette of a hippopotamus demonstrates the Egyptian artist's appreciation for the natural world. It was molded in faience, a ceramic material made of ground quartz. Beneath the blue-green glaze, the body was painted with the outlines of river plants, symbolizing the marshes in which the animal lived.
