The ancient Egyptians invented stylized makeup 4000 years ago - before anyone else in history. Women, men - and children - wore makeup (especially on their eyes) in ancient Egypt and they looked awesome. And so will you after you finish this class!
The class is divided into four parts (providing everyone has time to complete their makeup).
1. Makeup:
You'll learn little-known facts about ancient...This class is mainly for fun, but learners will also learn what kind of makeup men and women wore and how it was made. Learners will also see photos of paintings of the kinds of vessels (cups, bowls) and various tools the ancient Egyptians used for storing and applying makeup. We will also discuss jewelry, clothes (dressing up for parties) and hair (wigs).
I hold a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England and a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University. As a certified school substitute, I make the day more enjoyable - if it works out - by bringing an ancient Egyptian object into the classroom, whether I'm teaching language arts, social studies, science, consumer economics, art or even Native American studies. I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old. And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you. I think you'll agree that THE EGYPTIAN ROOM is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn. And. please, if you like, call me Ms. SENNUWY--my chosen ancient Egyptian name.
