1. Art is more than forms and colors. Art is determined by a culture's
spiritual beliefs,
concept of beauty and its attitude regarding reality.
2. How ancient Egyptian art at its peak differed from other ancient art
in the same time period, such as that of the Assyrians.
3. Who were the artists and craftspeople in ancient Egypt? And what
was their status?I hold a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University and a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England. And Iβve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours. I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old. And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you. I hope to see you soon in this class. I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn. And, please, if you like, call me Ms. Sennuwy - my chosen ancient Egyptian name.
