Immerse yourself in ancient Egypt with our art-making workshop! Explore the language of symbols and motifs as shown on objects in Pharaoh, reimagining them through a contemporary lens. Students will place themselves in the shoes of ancient Egyptian craftsmen, learning artistic techniques and conventions synonymous with pharaonic Egypt.

Each workshop commences with an introduction to the exhibition with an NGV educator, a scheduled break and self-guided viewing of Pharaoh. All art materials supplied. Please note we recommend allowing four hours for this excursion to accommodate exhibition viewing. This workshop is recommended for levels 3-8. Please contact bookings for inquiries outside recommended year levels.

    • Identify and interpret ancient Egyptian symbols and motifs used in objects and artworks found in Pharaoh
