Description:
One day during history class I noticed a huge statue of King Tut’s tomb in the back of the classroom. From far away he looked smooth and flawless, but when I went up close to investigate him he had lots of details and layers! It looked like the layers might have been painted differently, sort of like the people who painted his tomb had made mistakes on some of the layers, so they put another layer on top of the other layers till they got it right. From a far it looked like the eyes and eyebrows on King Tut’s tomb were black, but from closeup it turned out they were brown. It looked as if around his eyes he was wearing eyeliner, then when you looked really closely he had also had an outline of something that looked like pencil around his eyes. I learned you really have to look closely at something or someone to notice all the details in them.
