Ancient Egyptian Art
• Egyptian art is very focused on the afterlife – Mummification process/caskets/death masks – Funerary monuments– Paintings often include images of the deceased meeting
gods in the afterlife• Egyptian art also included a lot of visual metaphors– i.e. The weighing of the deceased’s heart against the
weight of the feather of truth while a beast waits to eat the heart of those who sin• Metaphor for Judgment

Assignment

and how you will place your metaphors visually within a single piece
– Also consider that life and death are not necessarily positive vs. negative concepts…
• The suggested media are paint and or mixed media, but student choice of 2D media is allowed
