Task 2 Points 20

Egyptian hieroglyphic relief embellishments, in representing concepts, rarely recorded ‘the truth’ realistically.

Nothing was random; for clarity of representation, everything had a carefully positioned meaning and purpose

within the final composition. Although not precise renditions, these were complex portraitures of letters, sounds,

ideas, objects and figures, wherein each element was designed to chronicle the Gods, the monarchs, their subjects,

animals, places, events, or rituals, through their age, rank, occupation, and status.

TASK 2 Appendix is a comprehension passage on the design and development of Egyptian hieroglyphic relief for

you to review.

PLATE 1 below is taken from a virtual tour of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a facsimile created by Nina de

Garis Davies. Facsimiles created by Nina de Garis Davies on virtual display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art,

provide detailed information about Egyptian hieroglyphic relief embellishments.

Replace the image and relevant information in PLATE 1 with ONE example of Egyptianrelief that interests

you. The example should portray the imagery of some vocation of the times. Also add to thefl “Reference”

section below the link of your search page. As applicable to the vocation presented therein, using flow

diagrams, trace the relevant sequence(s) of processes outlined within. Thereafter, using sketch, point out any

intermittent process(es) missing in the above sequence(s); supposedly the missing composition(s) that could

have been left out in the hieroglyphic relief.
