Art is a reflection of culture and environment.

You're judging a period of time with what you deem as valuable or most important on the modern community you associate with and knowledge that has been passed on over time. (You're roasting a primitive ancestor whilst getting carried by the art masters before you.)

Loomis and realism art didn't happen over night.
Of course if you compare metas ours is better.

This is common sense OP, what's the point of this thread other than to save your vulnerable esteem of ego and distract yourself from drawing.

what did they mean by this?

[Anonymous No.4750614]

>>4748571
it probably was though. there are sculpts of that dude before tutenkamen that are completely different to what was before and after. seems like the pharoah alive mandated how the art should look.

[Anonymous No.4750716]

they weren't shit at art, far from it, they just cared more about sculpture than painting.

[Anonymous No.4751183]

>>4750716

Women in all cultures have paler skin as they require more vitamin d and calcium absorbtion during fetal development and young nursing

Also men typically were outside more often

[Anonymous No.4752264]

How did people in ancient times learn anyway...
They didn't grind fundies I assume

[Anonymous No.4752270]

>>4752264
the same way you would now without any resources: see subject, try to copy subject

[Anonymous No.4752530]

Oh boy info dump time

>>4750609
It is reflective of ancient egyptian beauty standards. Men who went outside to work, hunt, etc had tanned skin from the sun, and women who stayed inside to take care of children or heal people etc had paler skin. Because these roles were ideal and attractive, attributes associated with such also became attractive and was shown and exaggerated in art.
However, you will never see this at polarities, like redheads or distinctly black men unless foreigners are mentioned, so they didnt fully go for the white girl getting blacked look, despite the obsessive depiction of dicks everywhere in their art already
>>4750614
Also dependent upon what deity's cult was dominant, but both could erase or destroy artistic depictions equally
>>4752264
Some boys could basically go to a scribe school where theyd get caned if they drew hieroglyphs incorrectly. Also they just recycled designs, basically doing grid art but on stone and barely changing anything for centuries. Basically copy and paste with extra steps
