Well first off all i thought that this virtual museam was amazing. i was able to navigate and find so many diiferent pieces of art along with sculptures. the resources that the website has seems infinate. you could even search a piece of art that you are interested in to me it seemed like google excdpt for art. well in searching the sight i came across these two pictures from archaeological fieldwork back in 1894 and 1895 by a french egyptologist jacques de morgan. The Metropolitan Museum of Art began excavating the site in 1990 and has returned annually since 1992. i really like egyption art and anything really that has to do with archaeological work in egypt. which is what prompted me to immediately choose these two pictures to write a little about. i thought it also corralated a bit with the video that we saw in class on 2/29/12 when the guy beagn speaking of egyption art. these two pictures really resemble what he was talking about in the video. it also corralates with what we've been learning in class about lines. to me these picture look like OUTLINES because they are so 2D
