Ancient Egypt Culture

After going to the Stray Light Grey exhibit, I thought of choosing a culture that had a very different way of representing the reality in drawing.
So, I chose ancient Egypt because they had a very specific way of depicting things. All drawings are in two dimensional, there is not a notion of depth. They drew heads, eyes, legs and feet positioned as if you were looking at them from the side. They drew shoulders and chest as if you were looking at them from the front.





My first drawing is an ancient egypt woman, and the second one is a modern woman depicted with their way of drawing. Both of them carry objects from their world.
