The Sphinx!

Did you know that the Sphinx at Giza in Egypt is over 6,400 years old and is the largest sculpture in the round on earth? Our students drew the Sphinx on paper in charcoal, creating a range of light values to indicate volume, space and distance.

 After drawing the outline of the sphinx and pyramids, we started shading the forms.

We also added some details like a sun, birds, and excavation tools.

Since we used vine charcoal, we  were able to make any edits we wanted to.
