We would like to add more on Egyptian art, mentioned in the previous post.
These artifacts were created in a world that did not have television, movies, ipods, or the internet.
Honest! :)
They were a way of communicating with people on one level.
Men lived lives of barter, labour, effort. They generally did not live as long as we do now.
When a man saw a statue of a King or a Pharaoh, or a Warrior in the ancient world,
it represented a standard that all men could aspire to.
Think about the Cobra and the Vulture on the forehead of a statue of a Pharoah.
Visualize these figures on your own forehead. Their function, emulate the gaze of the Pharaoh,
the calm, the centredness. The statues in Egyptian art represent another level of being.
They are conscious, objective art, from School. Gifts from another age.
