    The sculpture I’ve picked depicts a woman swimming (debatable) as she holds an ibex or gazelle shaped dish, and it is almost as long as a hairbrush. It nests in a glass case with other pieces of the ibex motif just a few turns away from the Hatshepsut statuary room. The purpose of this essay is to detail the statuette’s properties, hopefully finding how the properties display specific qualities of Egypt in its eighteenth dynasty. I chose this item because I couldn’t help but make the connection of the item’s cosmetive purpose and ancient Egyptian’s frequent use of makeup, particularly kohl, which they rimmed around their eyes to protect them from the brutal sun’s glare. It is made of alabaster and greywacke, and the ankles and feet of the…

    The top of the statue is the head of the Hatshepsut. Unfortunately, the majority of the head was destroyed, and there is only a little part of the headdress and an ear left. The headdress that on the back of the head seems like an arch or half round. The statue is not realistic because although the ear was connected to the face, it was carved out of the headdress. Also, the ear of the statue was too high, and it should be the same level of the eyes if it is a realistic sculpture.…

    “While some children may be able to hop on a bike and ride it for the first time, don’t presume every child in the classroom can learn to ride a bike without training wheels, additional support extended until children develop the right sense of balance. Therefore, take time to determine each child’s funds of knowledge and capabilities, realistically outline the action steps needed to help that child reach your goals, and model patience until the child can ride.” “Can we get started with these?” Mikel is a second grader who loved seeing the colorful popsicle sticks for the “Bossy R” Game.

    The broken statue is a symbol of the passage of time. It shows that no matter how powerful someone is, he can't fight the inevitable passage of time and that eventually we will all go down, just like the statue. The evidence is where they describe that everything around it is sand while the pedestal says "'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'", and yet he is broken and the lands are barren.…

The first time that I had ever heard of David was in Sunday School. He was a kid with more bravery and willpower than anyone in Israel--even the king. For the Israelites, Goliath--standing at nine feet tall--was viewed as a frightening man that no one wanted to go up against.…
