Egyptian Art - Art History Plans and Ideas

I am creating this lens to gather links and images for a study of Ancient Egyptian Art. It will correspond to the study of ancient art on Harmony Fine Arts art and music appreciation program.

Please feel free to use the links to learn more about Ancient Egyptian Art. There are some suggested books to read and a terrific Ancient Egyptian drawing book that my son loves!

Our plan is to view, discuss, sketch, and then make entries for our art notebooks.

Looking for art plans to study more Ancient Art?

I have written plans to study more ancient art: prehistoric, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman. These plans are offered through Harmony Fine Arts and are in ebook format. They are written for middle school age children but my high school age son is also getting lots of great experience out of using them in his homeschooling. Email me if you have any questions about the plans and if they would be a good fit for your family.

Learn more about the plans and how you can purchase them to use in your homeschool. $14.95 for a complete year's plan put down on paper for you. Email me if you have any questions.

Love the beautiful images.

The Nebamun tomb paintings have to be some of the most amazing art works I've ever seen, I just love them!

Shannon from Florida on July 10, 2012:

Great lens! It'll be very helpful with our Ancient Egypt unit!

LesleyOC on June 25, 2012:

I hadn't thought to look for home education materials on squidoo, but clearly I was wrong. This lens is so useful, and has given me ideas to create some of my own based on the things my daughter and I learn together. She is fascinated by the ancient world and so will really enjoy this!

CorellaCockatoo on May 22, 2012:

This is a great lens. The resources really compliment the classical homeschooling curriculum I plan to use with my son. Thanks for putting it together!

Gayle Dowell from Kansas on February 05, 2012:

Being a homeschool family, we were able to take a field trip to Egypt several years ago when we were studying ancient history. It was a great learning experience and it helped my kids to connect with what they had studied.

Very nice photos. There's something special about Egyption art and structures that they build.

Egypt is one of the most fascinating places on earth.

Laraine Sims from Lake Country, B.C. on September 17, 2011:

I'm studying Egypt for my art project and it's interesting to learn about the techniques used them in comparison to our modern art materials. This lens was really useful to me, thank you. :)

This is such a lovely lens which brings all the images of Egyptian era more vividly and live, especially the images.

Lovely! I took my kids when they where small to the first US Tutankhamun Exhibit in San Francisco...it was overwhelming cause of all the people, hard to see things.

Nice job,

Jimmie Quick from Memphis, TN, USA on September 28, 2010:

We are studying Ancient Egypt and made hieroglyphic potato stamps today. What fun! We used this lens to inspire us (colors and style). We also have the Ancient Egyptian Art book. It's a great introduction and is full of images. Highly recommended.

_Gem_ on September 20, 2010:

Thanks, Barb, for the great art selections. We are reading the adventure novel "The Red Pyramid" and pursuing Egyptology for a bit - these illustrations are wonderful.

Elizabeth Sheppard from Bowling Green, Kentucky on February 14, 2010:

I enjoyed looking at your Egyptian art selections today. Thank you for the neat lens! I enjoy reading about Egypt and also looking at ancient Egyptian art. I enjoyed the cat mummy a lot too.
