Funerary Masks
The Serpents have been working diligently on their replicas of ancient Egyptian funerary masks. They started with just a plain mask and a piece of poster board each. Each Serpent designed and constructed their own mask, then, it was on to two layers of paper mache! After drying, the students continued with painting. Next, we mod podged. Finally, we blinged out our masks!

Tacoma Art Museum-Op Art!
Seabury Serpents and Stingrays enjoyed some wonderful op art at the Tacoma Art Museum on Thursday. Serpents have been learning how to create some of this magic in class and they were very engaged in discussion of the art we viewed at the museum. We even enjoyed a couple of pieces by artists we studied in class.
Kids and adults created their own op art!

Inclined Planes
As part of their study of ancient civilizations that Serpents are also learning about the invention and use of simple machines. How did the Egyptians raise those huge stones to the top of a pyramid? One answer is the use of inclined planes. The Serpents investigated what angle works the best to make an inclined plane effective.

Technology
Serpents are experienced users of the technological resources here at Seabury School. Many projects are centered around online-based, credible research and require mastering programs such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Technology time is a crucial piece of our regular curriculum.
