What today's children, as exasperated parents, might say to their children ...

~

On Being Grounded.

~

Grounded?! Grounded?!

Now let me tell you, sonny -

And wipe that smile from off your face! -

It's not meant to be funny.

~

You think you're badly done by ...

One evening in, my friend!!

When I was young they grounded me

For weeks - and months - on end!!

~

I could not leave the house -

Except for once a day -

I couldn't even go to school

To see my mates. OK?!

~

You really miss your girlfriend?

You're feeling broken-hearted?

Grounded for one evening?

We were permanently parted!!

~

You're fed up with the family?

You're bored stuck in your room?

Anyone would think you lived

In Tutunkhamun's tomb ...

~

You're grounded. Just - One - Evening!

My boy, you should be glad -

It's not like being 'Grounded'

When I were ... just a lad!

Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs

Centred in North Africa on the Nile Delta, ancient Egypt was one of the most powerful and influential civilizations of the ancient world. It’s complex political structure and social organisation, military campaigns, vibrant culture, language and religious observances towered the Bronze Age, casting a shadow that lasted during its long twilight into the Iron Age when it was finally subsumed by…

How does this subject area relate to the bigger picture of your own area of expertise? Have you explored similar concepts before? Talk about a project(s) you have done in specialism that is relevant either conceptually or technically. Which mediums, techniques, materials that you have mastered on the course so far could you utilise in your FMP? 200 words

For my project, I aim to look back into our past as human beings, taking a prehistoric mindset into my work. I want to uncover how we used to act and what inevitably happens to all of us once we die. 

Fossils really intrigue me as they show a visible, beautiful imprint of animal life found thousands of years later. I want to explore more into ancient rituals, including that of the burial of Tutunkhamun, alongside traditional Egyptian burials of Pharoes. This would be the first time I explore this concept, which really excites me.

Fossils and ancient rituals all combine themselves into ancient history which is something I really want to bring into my practice. 

I aim to use ceramics as my base for my work as it is a delicate medium, just like the subject I am exploring. It is also key in allowing me to create a similar imprint design which I see in fossils. I want to create pots and sculptures based of ancient historical events in our history.

Why doesn't Tutunkhamun's dagger rust?

Why doesn’t Tutunkhamun’s dagger rust?

In 1922, two English archaeologists, Howard Carter and Lord George Carnarvon, unearthed a burial in the Valley of the Kings, containing many unique objects of ancient Egyptian culture. As it soon became clear, it contained the mummy of the pharaoh of the XVIII dynasty Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt in the XIV century BC. His full name and title: Tutankhamun Hekaiunushema, which means “the living…
