The Ancient Egyptians used art as a way to portray their daily lives. Art in ancient Egypt was also used for religious purposes. Sculptures and paintings found on the walls of tombs and temples show that ancient Egyptian religion had a huge impact on art.

Ancient Egyptian artists usually worked with stone, wood or any other durable material they came across. They used different types of paint to draw detailed pictures and designs. The colors were made up of ground minerals like ochre and lapis-lazuli, which they mixed with water or egg whites.

The Egyptians believed that art should express something important about the people who created it, so they looked at art as a reflection of the soul of its creator. They believed that this is what gave the art its value and meaning.
