art;
5. LEARNING OUTCOMES

• 3 (Three) kingdoms of early Egypt; and

• early Egyptian civilization.
6. LEARNING OUTCOMES
• 1. discussed how art was used by prehistoric
people to depict everyday life.
• 3 Three Periods of the Stone Age
• 1. Paleolithic i.e., late years of the Old Stone
• Age
7. 1. DISCUSSED HOW ART WAS USED BY PREHISTORIC
PEOPLE TO DEPICT EVERYDAY LIFE;
• 2. Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age)
• 3. Neolithic ( New Stone Age)
8. 2. IDENTIFIED THE CENTRAL THEMES
OF PREHISTORIC ART;
• Despite changes as a result of adapting to their
environment, there are central themes in their
artworks.
• Most ancient artworks depict religious symbols,
a wide array of organisms from nature and
activities of everyday life.
9. GETTING STARTED
THINK-PAIR-SHARE
• Directions. Imagine yourself as an archeologist in an
excavation in France of Spain. You come across a hole leads to
a cave that has inscribed paintings on it. What images do you
see?
• 1. Think about the scenario and write down or draw
the images or figures that pop in your head.
10. THINK-PAIR-SHARE
• The artist of the group may share to class their work.
• Each group member may write their insight developed
or reflection made during the process on their
notebook.
11. PREHISTORIC ART
• Archeological explorations reveal that there has been
a gradual shift from a nomadic lifestyle of early
humans to that of permanent settlements, paving the
way for the rise of EARLY CIVILIZATIONS.
• To complement this stability and sense of
permanence, early humans also turned to the
12. BY THE END OF THE MODULE, THE STUDENTS MUST
HAVE DISCUSSED HOW ART WAS USED BY
PREHISTORIC PEOPLE TO DEPICT EVERYDAY LIFE.
•…of paintings and sculptures that depict
humans, animals, and their natural habitats.
• It would seem that there were attempts to
record the kind of lives they led within that
period of time.
13. 2ND (SECOND) LEARNING OUTCOME
2. …DISCUSSED HOW ART WAS USED BY
PREHISTORIC PEOPLE TO DEPICT EVERYDAY LIFE;
• Central to the representation of the early civilizations
would be the establishing of possible linkages among
art, religion, and life.
• Paleolithic art is a product of climate change.
• As the climate got colder, part of the early humans’
instinct is to look for shelters that would provide
them with warmth.
14. PALEOLITHIC ART
• The pyramids in Giza served as the tombs since
their main purpose was to provide a resting pace
for the pharaohs.
• These pyramids are massive in size and were
constructed using roughly more than 2 million
limestone blocks.
15. THE OLD KINGDOM
• The stones used for the pyramids were quarried
from, a nearly plateau.
• The construction of the pyramids highlighted
the ingenuity and advancement of the Egyptians
for their time.
16. DURING THE OLD KINGDOM
• Workers painstakingly moved the stones from
the plateau.
• Workers painstakinglly moved the stones from
the plateau going to the construction site using
wooden rollers.
18. THE MIDDLE KINGDOM
• Art during the Middle Kingdom had some references
from the Old Kingdom, however there were some
experimentation in terms of style that transpired
during this period.
• Portrait sculptures and fresco paintings that were
freely drawn are some of the styles that emerged
during this period.
19. THE NEW KINGDOM
• The art of the New Kingdom had references from
both of the preceding kingdoms.
• Monuments and sculptures were still linked with
death and reverence for the deceased.
20. THE NEW KINGDOM
• Most artists created artworks that are natural
and seemingly real, highlighting the features of
their subjects.
• NATURALISM was not only used to depict the
pharaoh but also was used for members of the
royal family.
21. THE BUST OF QUEEN NEFERTITI
• The bust of Queen Nefertiti has a long and
sensuous neck.
• This figure was enhanced by applying paint
to the limestone.
22. THE TOMB OF TUTANKHAMEN
• Probably one of the greatest discoveries from
the Egyptian civilization was the tomb of
Tutankhamen.
• He became king at at very young age and died
at the age of 18.
23. TOMB OF TUTANKHAMEN
• Howard Carter discovered his tomb in
1922.
• They were astonished to find gold
artworks and that the coffin was made out
of solid gold.
24. TOMB OF TUTANKHAMEN
• The body of the young king was covered with
linen and a gold mask covered his face.
25. WRAP UP
• During the prehistoric period, the early
humans had transitioned from a nomadic
lifestyle to that of a more permanent one, which
led to early civilizations.
• Some of the works discovered from this period
would give modern society a glimpse of what was
26. WRAP UP
•….life like during that period.
• One of the early civilizations where art
flourished was the Egyptian civilization.
• Throughout the 3 kingdoms all the way to the
Amarna Revolution, art has been used
27. WRAP UP
• …particularly in religious and spiritual
activities.
• Through these unearthed and discovered
artworks, the modern world could have a better
understanding of the past and how it can affect
the present.
