Elements of Design

I researched what basic components were used to make the architecture and design of the ancient Egyptian culture; line, space, shape, texture, and color. I relied heavily on the architecture of buildings and their support structures, sculptures, and three-dimensional renderings of cultural symbols to identify examples of line, shape, and texture. The secondary resource I used to define the elements of visual texture and color came in the form of two-dimensional storytelling of hieroglyphs and murals that reinforced how well ancient Egyptians grasped the elements of design.
