In ancient Mesopotamia, between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, the first schools emerged, where aspiring scribes learned the cuneiform alphabet on clay tablets. A teacher at that time guided through the curriculum using a stylus and tablet – usually focused on administration, trade, and important legal regulations. The legal texts preserved in cuneiform, such as the Code of Ur-Nammu or later the famous Code of Hammurabi, formed the basis for law and order. Each tablet was characteristically shaped and bore engraved symbols that dried in moist clay. Such tablets were often reused and written over multiple times. Your coloring picture captures exactly this moment: the didactic exchange between teacher and student. Adding colors brings the ancient scene to life and conveys a feeling for the tools and materials of that time.

Colors for your Mesopotamian coloring picture

In your picture, the teacher in traditional clothing dominates the scene: Use soft natural tones like ochre or beige for the tunic and warm brown shades for the sandstone floors. You can design the clay tablets in light terracotta or brick red to reflect the character of fired clay. Cuneiform signs appear particularly authentic in dark brown or black. For the sky over the ancient city, pastel blue or a gentle sunset orange tone works well. The educational setting with wooden benches and writing styluses gains depth with a slight wood-brown color accent.
