In this class, students will be introduced to ancient fashion and makeup styles from a new civilization each day.  They will be shown pictures with a discussion of colors, their sources, and other interesting facts.  We also will discuss how we know what they wore in the past.  

Then about for 20-25 minutes, students will be able to style their own ancient people with coloring pages or drawing freestyle!  During this time, I will answer any and all questions they have about archaeology and the civilization of the day.  If there are no questions, learners can socialize, help each other with ideas, and hear stories of the ancient world from Alexa.

In the last 5-10 minutes, students will share their masterpieces and share why they chose their colors and styles.  We will reflect on what we learned and ask any last-minute questions!

Please Note: Not every ancient civilization has clearly known/defined makeup styles, so the amount of time spent with makeup with vary from week to week.  Out of respect for cultures which still exist, I ask that you do not try out the makeup on yourself during our class time unless you have a connection to it yourself.  Parents, please have a conversation about appropriation versus appreciation with your learner if you choose to try out the makeup outside of class time for educational purposes (:
