In this paper you are given the task of reporting on Egyptian culture during the period of the “New Kingdom”, taking place roughly between 1550 and 712 BCE. Types of things you will be discussing are as follows:
“write an overview of its main characteristics: what time in history it flourished during; what geographical region it covered; what was its capital or most important city/cities or centers; how was it organized politically and ruled; what were its main beliefs and/or religion; what were its main occupations/type of work; what was new and important about this culture – what was its significance or what did it contribute; did it influence or dominate other societies/cultures of the time; what were its main art and architecture forms – did it introduce a new or a distinctive type of art?”
You also must find an artwork from the time period your reporting on and discuss it’s significance or simply put, what it symbolized.
Lucky (or not so lucky) for you, I’ve already done some research to find an art work and a time period that would be easy to find facts about.
Your artwork is the “King Tut Death Mask” which was the ceremonial mask used to cover King Tut’s face during his funeral. This gives you a time period of roughly 1332 to 1323 BCE to report on.
You have to include a picture of the artwork in the paper, so just tack it on the end somewhere.
Four sources are required for this paper, and they must all be online. Wikipedia is PERMITTED, so go crazy.
Remember, you don’t want it to sound like your just listing facts. Coherency and elegance is the name of the game, and if you can execute and get me an A.. you best damn believe that some bonus cash is coming your way.
I’ve attached the teachers version of what I’ve said in the files. You can over it if you come across any confusion, and of course, I’m available for any questions.
Good day.
