Comparison to Modern Day

Nowadays people use a variety of colouring materials and art equipments such as paintbrushes and palettes. Our colouring materials are artificially made while in the ancient time, they grounded minerals and plants to make the colour. Our art styles are also different now. We paint abstracts and frame them up whereas they paint portraits and dramatic scenes on walls. We copied some of Roman ideas to make mosaics on floors, which is a really hard task. We do imitate Roman sculpture designs as well. Basically, the ancient Roman artworks served as a base for our artworks nowadays.

Today people have perspevtives in the right place. With 3D drawings and other very advanced drawings ancient Egyptian paintings look very childish and very amateur. Colouring items are different and we use oil paints made by companies whereas they used minerals to make colours and painted with sticks and not brushes. This really facinates me and I am very inspired by the hard work they did. Their statues are so detailed and our statues today are not so detailed. Even with many advanced tools we are not able to create statues like those without a machine. So they did all the hard work to create beautiful art for us today to see.
