When art began
CURATOR
INFORMATION
• Egyptian art is about five thousand years old.
• Egyptian art was intended for human beings and nature. It provided
company for the deceased in “other worlds.”
• Artists wanted to preserve everything of the present time as much
as possible, some art today resembles what life was like back in
ancient times. They followed one rule when doing any kind of art
and that was to represent man, nature, and the environment

Sculpting in Egypt
CURATOR
INFORMATION
• Nobody Sculpted just for fun. Egyptians always had a purpose to
what they did, like stories of wars or religious purposes.
• There were 3 types of sculpting back in Ancient times. One: They
would chisel out the background so the pictures would look raised.
Two: The pictures were chiseled out so they looked like they were
sunken. Three: The most magnificent were the 3D sculptures. They
were made in many shapes and sizes
• Some materials Egyptians used for building sculptures were:
Limestone, alabaster, sandstone, copper, and granite. Depending
on the material they were using to build their sculptures they had
many different tools, but most were just stone that was harder than
the stone they were actually cutting.

Painting in Egypt
CURATOR
• Egyptians were organized and
even Egyptian painting had strict
INFORMATION
rules. Before paintings were actually painted on walls or tablets it
was well thought out. Sketched on a piece of papyrus paper, bye a
master craftsman, they would add a grid-system of vertical and
horizontal lines onto the papyrus. After the grid was finished on the
paper the grid was sketched out on the wall as well so the Egyptians
could just scale the small sketch to the actual size
• Brushes Egyptians used were mainly made out of reeds: the
brushes had chewed up ends to make a soft side to dip in the paint.
Another type of brush was bunched up plant fibers tied together
• Egyptians mixed paints with certain materials like: Charcoal and
soot to make black, iron oxide to make yellow, and calcium
compounds to make white.
