DescriptionPlease note that the ‘last booking’ date is only a guide. Courses may close earlier. In order to avoid disappointment, please be sure to enrol as soon as possible. Registrations may not be processed until the following day if received after 3pm. From about 2600 BC Egyptian art had evolved a very distinctive style. This included the use of registers, ideal proportions, a preference for figures in profile, a limited use of frontality, size as an indicator of status and the incorporation of more than one viewpoint and multiple moments of time, in a single image. The use of colour was also highly meaningful with many references in the Book of the Dead to which colour and material to use for a particular amulet. This course will compare the traits evident in the principles of Egyptian art to two-dimensional representations from the Prehistoric Aegean and Ancient Greece during this period, highlighting similarities and differences. In addition, evidence for the use of colour in the art of the latter societies will be compared to its use in Egyptian art, providing an introduction to art and design in these two major ancient societies in the Eastern Mediterranean.
