Research

My design brief for the EPQ centres around how influential ancient art, specifically Egyptian art, can be on modern day art and design. Currently I am in the research process, which started with a trip to Manchester museum. Here I noted the use of hieroglyphics, patterns and colours and the artefacts the designs could be found on, which most commonly ere coffins and stone reliefs.

I then further researched into specific Egyptian techniques such as perspective, scale and colour. Next, I aim to investigate further areas such as the canon of proportions and the use of hieroglyphics.
