Isis with the Infant Horus
Greco-Roman Period (332 BCE-32 CE)

Use this worksheet to create a Venn diagram comparing Isis with Infant Horus and another artwork (click on the DISCUSS tab to find artwork to compare with Isis).

  • Write each characteristic that applies ONLY to Isis with Infant Horus in the circle on the left.
  • List each characteristic that applies ONLY to the other artwork in the circle on the right.
  • Place characteristics shown by BOTH artworks in the space where the two circles overlap.

Share your Venn diagram with a friend and discuss:

  • Did your friend notice details that you missed or vice versa?
  • Did comparing the sculpture of Isis with another artwork prompt you to notice things you hadn't noticed before?
  • What does each artwork say about the figures they depict?
  • What do you see that makes you say that?
Now try your own hand at making a sculpture! Select three characteristics from your Venn diagram and create your own sculpture out of clay or modeling dough that incorporates those three characteristics.
