How are humans rendered, and does the social status of the figure make a difference in the portrayal?

Here is what you are to do for this assignment:

⦁ First, begin by searching the book or the Internet for two free-standing figures, two paintings, or two reliefs from ancient Egypt.  Carefully examine and study the pair.

⦁ As you are doing so, take note of the style qualities that were Egyptian conventions for 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, or relief figures.  Compare the two for style similarities they share.

Remember to concentrate on style, not subject similarities in your descriptions.

⦁ Then, in a substantial paragraph, discuss the style qualities the pair share and describe the style conventions as you see them.

⦁ How are humans rendered, and does the social status of the figure make a difference in the portrayal?

⦁ Your next step is to introduce one work produced during the time of Akhenaten.  Analyze your sample for style.

⦁ Discuss, in one paragraph, how artistic conventions were altered during the reign of King Akhenaten.Address what you feel may be an explanation for this deviation from the traditional style.
