| Know how to identify ancient Egyptian art. Remember, there were strict rules about how human beings were drawn and painted. |
|
Definition
| The correct way to draw Egyptians thousands of years ago was to make sure that every part of the body is shown in the most familiar point of view, they would have the face turned sideways and the body facing straight forward. These were the rules because once the body died, it needed a substitute to attach itself to, and they would have to survive without a limb for the rest of eternity if they were not portrayed in the wall art. Portraits of the deceased often served as a backup plan just in case the mummy would suffer damage. One of the devices the Egyptians used in their canon was twist perspective: they combined frontal and profile views of a person. |
