Chloe Welborn Digital Project
Ancient Egypt & Ancient China - Wardrobe and Cosmetics
Introduction:
Welcome to this Digital Portion of my Gateway Project. First off, I'll explain what this project is about. My class has been very lucky to receive a project, we refer to as the Gateway Project. We have been allowed to chose two Ancient Societies, so that we can learn about our past. After we chose two areas, we can select a topic that we will later compare / contrast. I have selected cosmetics, and wardrobe choices within the Ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures.
