=**Different types of Art in Ancient Egypt.**= In ancient Egyptian (around 5000 B.C to 300 A.D which was when most of the painting and architecture made, the art basically refers to the style of painting, architecture, sculptures and crafts. Ancient Egyptians used pottery and covered them with beautiful images. They were mostly made of steatite and different in sizes from small vases to large pots.  The Egyptians were the first to discover that coating a pot with enamel would increase the longevity of the pots a lot while making it easier to paint them. The pots were usually used to contain body parts after they were duly removed and preserve from the body of the person who would be mummified and then placed in a sarcophagus in the pyramid.

Paintings on walls, especially in tombs, usually contained images of different deities and also contained certain engravings which were supposed to be the carriers to the after world. The paintings was also depicted on the life of the mummified person and sometimes even contained images of different animals and these were as fairly taller than the other pottery which was usually kept along with the mummies and sometimes even extended to 6 feet
