Egyptian Art part2
The Egyptians painted on flat surfaces. Several ancient Egypt paintings survived due to Egypt's dry climate. The paintings were intended to be used for the deceased people. Some of the earliest tombs had small models of the slaves, animals, buildings and objects.
Murals were quite famous for decorating the buildings of ancient Egypt. Large paintings were done by a team work, each person specializing on one aspect.
