Our class has been exploring ancient cultures and to understand them fully we have been learning about the cultural universals in each society. This includes food, clothing, shelter, religion, government, economics, etc.
Along with learning about the cultures, students have been learning about artifacts from the time periods.
Each student was asked to draw an artifact and write a description telling why it was an artifact. Mrs. Maitlen and I noticed that most were on the right track, but we needed to revisit the definition of artifact to make sure each student understood what they were to create.
What is an artifact?
An artifact is an object made by a human being, typically an item of cultural or historical interest.
After drawing their artifacts, students were given the task to create a 3-D model to share as a museum exhibit.
Here are some creating pictures:
