A day an artist in Ancient Egypt

Walt: write in correct paragraphs.

I am an artist in Ancient Egypt and I do art on tombs and walls. I love being an artist because my skills of art are really good.  I love being an artist because people can see that I am very skillful in art and they can see what the Egyptians are doing in everyday life. When you are an artist you need to know a lot of symbols.

The art of Ancient Egypt is part of life and what was going on in those days.  Egyptian artist carved and drew on tomb walls with religious images and text. It was to bless the dead on their journeys through the afterlife. The paintings and carvings on temples were apart of religious worship.

The art of Ancient Egypt was a visual story. It was for the viewer of something that had been done. The message could range from a religious tract of the story of their gods, a pharaoh honoring the gods, or the glorification of a person’s lifetime. Scene also depicted everyday life. When people are drawing they are giving information on what happens in life.

I never had  much money. I was not paid  money I am paid  food, most of the time. I trade very special things that belonged to me. Like farms and sharing ideas. I do a lot of trading so I can get wheat, food, beer and houses from the rich one and the kings.

My art is carved on stone. For the carvings I use copper chisel and stone hammers. To paint symbols I mixed pigments from berries, animal fat, ash and various minerals. Depending on what colour I would like to have.
