ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART

EGYPTIAN ART• Most Surviving artwork comes from Tombs which Egyptians build to assure an afterlife

for the dead.

• Egyptian Artists did not try to create work for originality, but instead created traditional formulations that expressed specific ideas.

• Form and subject is a characteristic in most Egyptian work

EGYPTIAN ART KA – What Egyptians thought to be the soul of the dead (spirit)

-Would make artwork and furniture for who ever passed and then it would be placed into their burial Mastaba so that the KA could live a happy and conferrable after life .

-Sometimes they would even create a window in the mastaba so that the KA could see people giving sacrifices and worshiping their soul.

-Mostly everything had to do with an after life
