Proportion Assignment
Demonstration and explanation
• You will be graded on:
• Your ability to follow directions with the Egyptian proportions (see the
handout from Week 3)
• Your creativity in adapting a non-Egyptian drawing or painting to the style
• Original must have at least two people in it, interacting in some way (not just standing in
a row or like a formal portrait, but something with a “narrative”)
• Your interpretation should successfully “translate” not just postures, but details like
clothes, furniture, and other objects, into ancient Egyptian equivalents
Washington Crossing the Delaware, by E. Leutze
Starting Sketch
• What parts are essential, and
what parts can you leave out?
• Background/landscape not
needed
• Are there specific poses, or
symbols, or ideas that translate
well to an Egyptian example?
• Washington as King
• Everyone else is smaller!
• He is calm and posed, everyone
else active
• Boat scene
Prepare Graph Paper with guidelines
Refer to original and Egyptian images as needed
• Find examples of similar poses, or
things you can adapt.
• Count grid squares, even trace
some parts if you want.
The goal here is to study the Egyptian
examples, and adapt/update them.
Ex: I used the legs of a smiting scene,
but changed the torso to a more
upright posture.
Hippo battle from tomb of Ti, Saqqara, Dyn 6
If you have people of different sizes (Hierarchy of scale),
then use different sized grids for them.
But start their feet on the same ground line!
• Do not worry about background or
setting: Egyptian art almost never
shows depth.
• If you need to indicate the
surroundings, do so sparingly:
• Usually nothing is behind the figures, but
beside them (no overlap)
• A tree and some plants for a garden
• A column or doorway to show a building
(works for a scene that is inside or
outside)
• If you really want to (not required!) you can use registers to show a
bigger scene with depth.
• For grading, please turn in:
• A version on graph paper (it can be messy if you want, as long as I can see that you
used the grid proportions correctly)
• A “clean” final version, with color if you want.
• A one-page paper on the process
Write a one-page paper about your process:
• What original artwork did you adapt?
• What creative changes did you decide to make in order to make your image look
authentically Egyptian?
• What ancient Egyptian images did you refer to?
• What are the major differences in the scene you have created and the original
artwork? Do you feel that your Egyptian-style drawing is able to capture the essence
of the original, in terms of meaning? Or did you have to heavily adapt it to make
sense in the Egyptian art and culture?
• Explain a few of your own impressions and feelings about the rules of Egyptian art.
Do you think they put too-strict limits on an artist? Is there room for creativity? Did
you enjoy the challenge?
