The Egyptians were people who lived in Egypt – a hot, dry country in northern Africa – more than 5,000 years ago.

The Egyptians were people who lived in Egypt – a hot, dry country in northern Africa – more than 5,000 years ago.
There were pharaohs, like the famous Tut-ankh-
Amun, King Mycerinus, and Cleopatra, as well as the
artists, builders, sculptors and painters who created
all of Egypt’s beautiful art.

The Egyptians were people who lived in Egypt – a hot, dry country in northern Africa – more than 5,000 years ago.
The Egyptians believed that life went on after death,
and they could keep doing the things they enjoyed,
like creating sculptures and painting on walls.

The Egyptians were people who lived in Egypt – a hot, dry country in northern Africa – more than 5,000 years ago.
Also, the Egyptians believed in many gods, and they thought that while one
person was pharaoh, they were the god Horus, so they
painted and sculpted in honor of them.

An example of a pyramid in Egypt

But… how do I create a wall
painting?
It’s more than just painting on walls…
![Page 12: Egypt](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070319/55823ce7d8b42a0d368b4fbe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When painting important people on
walls, there were many rules artists had to
follow:
![Page 13: Egypt](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070319/55823ce7d8b42a0d368b4fbe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
They had to paint a clear outline first, and then fill with
color.
![Page 14: Egypt](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070319/55823ce7d8b42a0d368b4fbe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Also, they had to paint the head and legs from a side perspective, and the shoulders and eyes
from the front.
![Page 15: Egypt](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070319/55823ce7d8b42a0d368b4fbe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
That is why you see parts of the front of the body and the side of the body at the
same time – I think that is where the ‘Egyptian pose’ with your arms like
snakes, facing the side with your shoulders facing the front came from.

The “Egyptian pose”

Sculpting doesn’t seem that hard…
![Page 18: Egypt](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070319/55823ce7d8b42a0d368b4fbe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Like for wall paintings, you had to follow a lot of rules.
![Page 19: Egypt](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070319/55823ce7d8b42a0d368b4fbe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The person in the statue could only be sitting or
standing, and there could be no twists in the
body whatsoever.
![Page 20: Egypt](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070319/55823ce7d8b42a0d368b4fbe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A sitting statue has to have the feet firmly on the ground, with the hands resting on the
knees, looking straight ahead.
![Page 21: Egypt](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070319/55823ce7d8b42a0d368b4fbe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A standing statue serenely walks barefoot
with the left foot forward, wearing only a kilt and a crown, looking
calm and peaceful.

These are statues of King Mycerinus and
Queen Kha-merer-nebty II

A lot of Egypt’s art was of their gods.
But…Who are these god people
anyway?

the primary lady who ruled a domestic household.

Should you read this book?
YES! YOU SHOULD!

I recommend this book to kids who want to learn about art in ancient Egypt. The pictures
and graphics make it easy to visualize the different types of art and how they are made.
The text is in easy to read and understand words, so you can learn a lot! For example, on
pages 18 and 19, it tells you how to make a sitting or standing statue simply and
interestingly.

I HOPE YOU LEARNED A LOT
FROM THIS PRESENTATION!
