Climb 3,000 steps to take a close look at Peru’s lost city of Machu Picchu. Explore an ancient, fascinating Incan fortress city.
1.
Machu Picchu is located high in the Peruvian Andes, near Cuzco, overlooking the Urubamba River. The city was created sometime before 1500 by the Incas and is still revered as a sacred site. Machu Picchu is visited by thousands of people each year who admire its beauty and location.
2.
The city was constructed of blocks of cut stone. Research the ruins of Machu Picchu and the Inca people to find out why Machu Picchu is called "The Lost City of the Incas." Look closely at photographs.
3.
Cover your art area with newspaper. Use Crayola® Tempera Paint and a brush to paint your impression of Machu Picchu. Look closely at the stone’s colors, hovering clouds, and surrounding mountainous landscape. Mix colors to match the hues you see. Blend your paints with a damp brush to achieve soft edges. Use a dry-brush technique (layer flecks of paint from a brush that is nearly dry) to show rock textures. Air-dry your painting.
4.
Display your work with a report that you write about this remarkable site, which is one of the Forgotten Wonders of the world.
