Canopic Jars


Sophia Clay 2

Hi guys its Sophia! And today I will be telling you about what I do in art. Recently we had an Egyptian tomb were we made ancient Egyptian artifacts. Up here is a picture of me making a canopic jar. Canopic Jars were jars used for mummification. They used them to put your organs in them. Making my Canopic jar was hard for me because I had to make mine twice. I had to make it twice because my first one was more like a really delicate bowl that fell apart very easily. On my second try I made a coil pot. That is when you twist a piece of clay so it is long and thin and you coil a bunch of them together. When my second canopic jar worked we put it in the kelm and glazed this is what it looked like in the end.
