In looking at the Egypt blog posts,
I concentrated on the first two on the list, Ali and Ariana’s. In Ali’s blog, the story of the two twins is
very interesting. A tomb can be an art piece as well by its appearance and the
story behind it. Any painting, sculpture, drawing etc, has meaning and a story
behind it, just like a tomb. Tombs carry a lifetime inside them which is simply
a piece of art. The fact that it had a painting of the twins to go along with
it, make it even better. In addition, it is very exciting that such a ruler as
King Tutankhamen can leave behind a piece of furniture for us to view today.
Being able to have these items from so long ago, gives designers inspiration
for today. In Ariana’s blog, I noticed that she and I had some of the same
opinions when it comes to Egypt. We both
brought up the motifs and how nature was widely used. Natural woods were used
to make a lot of the furniture and to relate that to her favorite cutting board
was quite intuitive.
