Robyn Hunt, ages 8, White Knights Primary School The judges loved the complexity of your design - you obviously enjoyed doing it. We liked the layering of your patterns and mixture of traditional hieroglyphic imagery with really contemporary patterns. Well done (and only 8!).
Nyasha Chubahana, 9, Rise Park School The judges were really impressed with the way you designed and coloured your sarcophagus. We liked the way you used your ruler to create structure for the dense areas of colour. It feels solid and dynamic. Well done!
Jordan Tattersall, 11, Masham Primary School Jordan's design impressed the judges because he "decided to base the design on Joseph's coat, as we are putting on a production of Joseph and the amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat."We really liked his bold colours and patterns. Well done for making it your own Jordan.
Runners Up Prizes! A Dorling Kindersley Sarcophagus Pencil Tin goes to each of the following children. Well done! Elizabeth Green, 8, White Knights Primary School;
Design a Sarcophagus! In Egyptian times Sarcophagi were decorated with beautiful colours and patterns, fantastic imagery, and hieroglyphs designed to send the mummy safely into the next life. We'd like you to design a sarcophagus on paper and enjoy decorating it as you'd wish. Use your imagination and be as free as you like. If you love all things Egyptian, then you could create a more traditional design (see the tips below). But if you want to create something based upon your own interests or hobbies, like football or skateboarding, or fashion - that's fine too! Here's some tips: If you want to try your hand at hieroglyphics then try this hieroglyphic translator. You can type in your name, or a short sentence, and it will show you the hieroglyphic version! If you'd like more info about the many Egyptian Gods and Goddesses then try the BBC page which has images and info. You might like to choose a couple of Gods or Goddesses which you like the sound of for your design. Or forget traditional Sarcophagi and design something much more modern! Use images of things which mean something to you, or just use beautiful patterns and colours. To get started... Download our Design a Sarcophagus PDF and print it out. The PDF contains a printed outline of a sarcophagus for you to use as a basis for your design. You can use, pencil, paints, pastels or collage. Want to make a model of a mummy and a sarcophagus?
