At Easter Time, have a bit of fun by challenging students to produce a ‘Hard Boiled Humanities’ portrait of a key figure in history painted on a boiled egg!
This poster can be used to promote the event:
Credits
This concept comes from James Henderson(@MrHumanities), and was shared on Twitter by Barry Dunn (@SeahamRE) with the poster created by Andrew Rousell.
Taking it further
The format could easily be adapted for other subjects, with portrait eggs being produced (for example) of key literary / scientific characters.
Examples
Anne Frank
John F. Kennedy
Mount Rushmore
David Bowie
Neil Armstrong from @hutchinsonjm
Marie Antoinette – @BradSnell
Jack the Ripper @BradSnell
Franz Ferdinand
Anne Boleyn
William Wallace
