Ancient egypt art

According to the history, Egyptian art is five thousand years old and basically all forms of art followed one law: a great concern was put on the mode of representing man, nature and the environment remained still almost the same for thousands of years. This included homeometric regularity, keen observation and exact representation of actual subjects. The arts have emerged and took shape in the ancient Egypt, the civilization of the Nile Valley. Those who could replicate most admired styles of the past were the most admired artists for Egyptian. Most artists tried their best to preserve everything of the present time as clearly and permanently as possible including some art forms that present an extraordinarily vivid representation of the time and the life, as the ancient Egyptian life was lived thousand of years before.

 Paintings and sculptures form of arts were expressed in Ancient Egypt as they were highly symbolic and fascinating. They played the same role to revolve round the past and were intended to keep history alive. Besides, the canonical 2D and 3D art also were the best form of arts that represent the Ancient Egyptian. They were developed in Egypt from 3000 BC and used until the 3rd century. Most elements of Egyptian art were to be noted remain remarkably stable over the 3000 year period. These elements strongly represent the ancient civilization itself completely based on the true history without strong outside influence. This same basic conventions and quality of observation started at a high level and remained near that level over the period.

Gods, goddesses, and Pharaohs became the main subject for many of the great works of Ancient Egypt. These highlighted subjects were also considered divine. They represented the highly religious nature of Ancient Egyptian civilization. Idea of order became the characterization of Ancient Egyptian art. In other side, in order to create a sense of order and balance in the art of ancient Egypt, clear and simple lines combined with simple shapes and flat areas of color. Vertical and horizontal reference lines were also use by the Ancient Egyptian artists to maintain the correct proportions in their work. The art was not limited for the real subjects only as the political and religious, as well as artistic order was also maintained in Egyptian art. Plus, figures were drawn to sizes based not on their distance from the painter's point of view but on relative importance to clearly define the social hierarchy of a situation; the Pharaoh would be drawn as the largest figure in a painting no matter where he was situated, and a greater God would be drawn larger than a lesser god.
