According to Toni Owen "Once a papyrus sheet was formed it was joined together with other sheets to form long rolls. The papyrus roll format dates back to ~3,000 BCE and there is little evidence individual sheets were ever used alone. Smaller papyrus documents were either from halved or quartered rolls cut to certain lengths.
To make the roll, individual sheets were overlapped slightly; normally
the sheet on the right overlapped the sheet on the left by 1-2 cm. The overlap
was pasted, pressed and possibly burnished. Recent analysis has identified
starch paste in the joins of several ancient papyri. Twenty sheets was the standard
roll."
So now you can compare the texture with the so called Papyriform
columns. In fact the rolls were prepared in a way that horizontal fibers were
on the inside and the vertical ones on the outside. If rolled in the opposite
direction (vertical fibers inside) the fibers would have been crushed.
Look at a real papyrus
Now compare these with the texture designed for the columns

-The painting had relief.
-The egipcian culture always was foccused in the "After life", so their paintings and sculptures always represented that.
-In the old kingdom they used to built their pyramids at tomb made of squarish mand faced with brick and stone.
-Most of the pyramids has funerary chambers.
-With the time, the style of the scuptures change.
2.- Because,the painter didn´t express his feelingsm the paintings were more foccused in religion and cultural terms.

Egyptian art is consisted in portraying life after death, they were focused on honoring the rituals that made sure that they would have the benefit of an after life.
2. Because they have a code or a rule into how they paint, their style is known as frontalism, which consists of the head to be facing to the side while the body is facing forward.
Excellent Braulio, the frontal law is something that we are going to study in the classroom, so I hope you can contribute with your explanation
Eliminar1. Describe several of the Egyptian artistic conventions

Egyptian art was mainly about symbology of their religion and with the purpose of represent and show respect to pharaoes.
The egypts painted everything in a rigid way because they wanted to represent the whole body in the stone wall they had to do it so it can be well appreciated from a lot of angles.

ResponderEliminar1.Describe several of the Egyptian artistic conventions
*The paintings were about the several gods and the things they liked, they talked about the afterlife, the rituals and traditions they had.
2. Why did Egyptians paint in such a rigid manner?
*Because they didn't express theselves, the paintings are about stories and legends that were transmitted form generation to other. They used their art to control the people.
This is a great observation, they were not artists, they only transmitted according orders

-The art of ancient Egypt falls into three main periods, the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms beginning about 3000 BC and spanning 2,000 years overall. There is remarkable continuity, representing a deeply religious and traditionalist society. Sculpture and painting are highly stylized, following strict conventions and using symbols of a religion centred on the afterlife and idealization of the dead, their servants, families, and possessions.
-Egyptian art had a number of strict conventions for representing the human body that allow their works to be immediately recognizable to even the most untrained eye. These conventions were methods used to represent every figure, from slaves to gods.
-Another convention of Egyptian art was to depict gods, including the pharaoh
And why do yout think they painted in such rigid forms?
Eliminar1) they were motivated by a belief that rebirth after death depended on the accuracy and completeness with which the dead were rendered. Their sculptures meant he who keeps alive.
ResponderEliminar2)They paint such in a rigid manner because was to encourage the ideal canon of systematic properties. Also was to show the divinity of the pharoes.

ResponderEliminar1. Describe several of the Egyptian artistic conventions:
Egyptians believed in afterlife, so they built pyramids for the pharaohs when they died. The Egyptians filled the pyramid´s chambers with lots of daily life objects, paintings, relieves, sculptures and hieroglyphics; things that a soul would need in the afterlife. Big pyramids were only built for members of the royal family. Their artworks were dedicated mainly to their gods and goddesses.
2. Why did Egyptians paint in such a rigid manner?
Because they had a belief that rebirth after death depended on the accuracy and completeness with which the dead were rendered, so they tried to make their paintings as perfect as possible. They also had the intention of their artworks and chambers to last eternally.
-To me, the 3 big pyramids of Giza are the most amazing artworks of the Egyptian culture. It was supposed that the pharaoh´s god was Ra, the god of Sun, so when a pharaoh died and was left in its pyramid, it meant the final resting place of the Sun. It is said that the pyramids used to be covered with a layer of gold that symbolized the Sun. The pyramids had a lot of arquitectonical perfection and were made several thousand years ago.
So life after death and perfection were two important conventions in egyptian art, great!

ResponderEliminarThey created their sculpturs to represent afterlife.
They created tombs locked for the then eternity.

1.- Convention of Egyptian art was to depict gods, including the pharaoh, and other important figures much larger in size than everyone else in the scene. This was a simple way to indicate status.
2.- Because they were based on life, afterlife, religion, and the natural world so its the way they express, and they do not have a lot of elements so this was the only manner.
These are great observations about the way they planned the dimenssions of the characters inside a painting
Eliminar1) Egyptians used to paint in a type of paper named papyrus, they painted about what they did and about their gods and pharaohs, they made sculptures and structures to their gods and rulers.
ResponderEliminar2) Some of their art is representing what they believed of the after-life, they thought that when you died, you would be reborn in another person, they made they paintings based on that.

ResponderEliminarAncient Egyptian art forms are characterized by regularity and detailed depiction of gods, human beings, heroic battles, and nature, and were intended to provide solace to the deceased in the afterlife. Artists endeavored to preserve everything from the present as clearly and permanently as possible. Ancient Egyptian art was created using mediums ranging from papyrus drawings to pictographs (hieroglyphics) and include funerary sculpture carved in relief and in the round from sandstone, quartz diorite and granite.

ResponderEliminarthe egypt culture take ideas of the mesopotamia but they adapted to their own religion and believes they created the pyramids with the main purpuse to be tumbs to their pharaons, because the egyptians believe in life after dead the original name of the pyramids are mastabas, the egyptians they weren't concidered as artist because they only paint or create the things were order, they can't express their feeling or thoughs this is call theocratic art, even though the can't express themselves they made a great contrubution to the arts.
ResponderEliminartheir beauty canon were frontal law they created their paintings and scultures in a certain possition they also invented the obelisk.
the egyptians were a very interesting culture they contributed a lot to the development of art

2-it was because the pharaon was the one that directed the artists what su paint and what to do
i think that egyptians draw in the walls to explain all the things that happen and they want to show that they believe in gods, and the Egyptians made pyramids and sculptures for their gods.
ResponderEliminar2.-the egyptians have to follow the directions of the pharaon they cannot represent their feelings
1) Egyptian art or convention, was based mostly in painting,sculpture and arquitecture. I think all of this things where made for an important role in establishing a sense of order. They wanted to show, not only their culture or their appereance; they also wanted to show, the way of life, religion, believes (gods) and the different kind of social status around the culture. The arquitecture also may simbolyze, not only infrastructure or tumbs, it may also was made for shoing the type of perfection and calculation of the egyptians. After all they where very good at maths!!!

ResponderEliminar1. Describe several of the Egyptian artistic conventions
ResponderEliminarThe Ancient Egyptian culture is very different too most of the cultures. First we can say on the figures of their drawings because they always have head and arms in profile, eyes full frontal and upper chest view. Men and women had different proportion; men tend to be drawn in a muscular way when women were drawn slim. The proportion on the body was a rigid rule, the arms and wrist where kind of the same size and the arms where out of proportion compared to the size of the bodies.
2. Why did Egyptians paint in such a rigid manner?
Egyptians tended to paint with so many rules so when someone sees their paintings they can quickly identify from which culture they are watching.
