If you were the king of Egypt, attempting to start a new dynasty after an Interm Leave a reply If you were the king of Egypt, attempting to start a new dynasty after an Intermediate Period,how would you use art and architecture to secure both your earthly power AND your eternallegacy as a great king? Remember that you are not rich enough to do everything, you have tomake choices on what to focus on. Please discuss at least two major factors: 1) your image insculpture and portraiture, 2) a monument (or part of a monument) you would construct.Describe the appearance and features of each one, and explain how those visual factors helpcommunicate that you are a good king, worthy of praise and respect. (For each category, youget 4 points for description/analysis combined, = 8 points) In addition, consider the role ofgender and power in Egypt: if you are a female king, how might that be reflected (or concealed)in the art, and why do you think those choices are important? If you are a male, consider therole that the important women of your family may also have, and how you could include theirimages as part of your own reign/dynasty as well. (NOTE: for this sake of this question you donthave to use your REAL gender, you can answer as a hypothetical male or a female king,whichever one you want) This entry was posted in Art : Art History on December 5, 2021 by .
