HUA 101 ASSIGNMENT #1
The qualities of the Egyptian, greek and roman styles shown in the online lecture all show symbolism and imagery on the history of these countries. In the video showed a map of ancient Egypt and the speaker described the area being surrounded by deserts. These deserts has not changed and had a consist style over the last twenty five hundred years. The map also provided a crucial role to the civilization back then to travel to their destination for needs.
The map is seen to be a historical map used in ancient times, it symbolizes the difference of times, shape and color people used to create a map back then. Another style shown in the video symbolizing ancient Egyptian Greek times is statue figures of two ancient king and queen, the queen holding on to the king, symbolizing quality and strength. Both standing in a specific position showing quality of ancient time civilization. Another sculpture shown in the video shows a portrait drawing of a family, Mother , Father and three of their babies. The mother in the portrait supposedly was one of the most beautiful women in their times. The couple also ruled ancient Egypt from 1352 to 1336 BC and was know from a religious revolution that worshiped one god only. Analyzing the ancient portrait myself i can describe life in that time was not as stressful as life in present time. Both parents taking care of their babies showing them love and power. I see the sun shining towards them symbolizing positive towards them.
