Ancient Egypt for Kids
Artists & Craftsmen

Craftsmen were appreciated rather than respected in ancient Egypt. 

Craftsmen were not allowed to sign their work. That's because several craftsmen might work on one object. But even when only one artist worked on something, they still could not sign it.  

A craftsman with skill usually enjoyed a very comfortable lifestyle. Although their work was not signed, word did get around.   

The Egyptians had a unique way of drawing people. 

  • They drew heads, eyes, legs and feet positioned as if you were looking at them from the side. 

  • They drew the shoulders and the chest as if you were looking at them from the front. 

  • Men were usually drawn with dark colors. 

  • Women were usually drawn with light colors.
