Art

=__Art in Ancient Egypt__=

In Ancient Egypt there were five main forms of art: architecture, sculptures, paintings, pottery and music.

The Ancient Egyptians built many different buildings. Mastabas a type of tomb with a flat roof, later on they built pyramid tombs. They also built temples for the gods, palaces for the pharaohs and normal houses for the people to live in.



The Ancient Egyptians built sculptures of the things most important to them. Gods, pharaohs etc.



Ancient Egypt was one of the first places to make pottery. They made the pottery more for use than for art though. They would usually make the pottery for the storage of their crops.



Music was another thing important for the Ancient Egyptians. People don't know what the music sounded like, but they do know the kind of instruments they used. They used guitars, harps, drums, rattles. They also used wind instruments similar to recorders and clarinets. They also had trumpets and many other instruments.



=__Art in Ancient Greece__=

In Ancient Greece there were five main forms of art: architecture, sculptures, painting, pottery and music.

Greeks built houses, huge amazing temples, tombs and public building like theaters.

The Greeks also made many sculptures, mainly representing the gods and goddesses.



The Greeks also enjoyed pottery. Very few Ancient Greeks just painted pictures. They made beautiful pottery and painted on those. The paintings on the pottery were all sorts of different things, again mainly gods though. The pottery was very important for the Greeks, for storage but also as decoration and it was sometimes used for trade.



The people in Ancient Greeks also LOVED music. It was a very important part of their lives and probably their favorite form of art. They often used music to honor and entertain the gods. The Greeks used all sorts of instruments: pipes, lyres (small harps), cymbals, drums and more.



=__Comparison__=

Both Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece were good with art. They both enjoyed music, pottery, architecture and more.


 * But personally I think that Ancient Greece had better skills when it came to creativity.**
