Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Art- Drawing Like the Egyptians ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0457.jpeg) 18 September 2025 Today in art, Year 3 Artists travelled back in time to ancient Egypt. Before drawing their egyptian patterns and shapes, they prepared their sketchbooks by creating interesting surfaces to work on. Just like the ancient Egyptians who drew on papyrus, they transformed their white paper using chalk pastels last week to give it that special, papyrus-like texture. With the surfaces ready, they put pencil to paper today to draw beautiful Egyptian patterns, all while listening to some traditional Egyptian music in the background. The children's drawings have turned out absolutely amazing and they should be very proud of the surfaces and patterns they created. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0457.jpeg) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1000024342.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-17-year-6-darwen-art-project) Previous ### [Year 6 Darwen Art Project](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-17-year-6-darwen-art-project) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/602DDF5C-11E1-4EED-8B10-9B67642F6A87.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-19-reception-pe-outdoor-gym) Next ### [Reception - PE Outdoor Gym](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-09-19-reception-pe-outdoor-gym) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
