Egyptian Art and Sculptures

Egyptian art was produced collectively in assembly line form. Several people worked at the same time on one statue. One worked on an arm while another worked on a leg. Even painting was done in assembly line form. When a temple or palace wall needed to be painted in mural style the Egyptians would paint one color at a time. The first group would paint the first color, and then another group would paint the next color, and so on. No one person could lay claim to one public work of art. When the Egyptians found something that they liked they did it over and over, sometimes refining it over thousands of years.
