2. Painting Styles Frontalism
The head of the character was always drawn in profile, while the body is seen from the front.
Although the face is to the side, the eye is drawn in full.
The legs are turned to the same side as the head, with one foot placed in front of the other.
The head is at right angles to the body.
Every figure in paintings, stands or sits with a formal, stiff, and rigid posture. The stance of the body is severe, but the faces are calm and serene.
Slaves and animals were painted more natural and relaxed, and with a smaller scale in drawings to show their limited importance.
There was little attempt at plastic or spatial illusionism - no attempt at linear perspective.
Artists made colors from raw materials around them and therefore worked in a limited number of shades.
Color was applied in flat tones - strict rules often applied to the use of a particular color for particular purpose. For example, men's skin was colored red while women's was yellow.

8. This painted limestone statuette depicts King Akhenaton and Queen Nefertiti, rulers of Egypt during the Amarna period. During this period, the Egyptians worshiped one god, Aton, who embodied both the male and female principles of the universe. Artists therefore portrayed Akhenaton, who was the representative of Aton on earth, with characteristics they regarded as feminine, such as narrow shoulders, a high waist, and pronounced belly, buttocks, and thighs.
