AP Art History Summer Assignment 2014
Egyptian Art
Required:
The order of these tasks matters. If you “do” these tasks in the order I list them, then your life will be much happier and your experience with Egyptian art will be richer. I promise!
Take three sets of Cornell! notes. Each set should be about two pages (two sides) long.
Set #1 should be titled: Egyptian Writing
Watch: Rosetta Stone, 196 B.C.E
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFXY9-pec1I
The Seated Scribe, c. 2620-2500 B.C.E.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxs1d3N60UI&list=PL26A5D7AA0F7CE7E7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WceVwMdN0eE&list=PL26A5D7AA0F7CE7E7
Set #2 should be titled: Egyptian Rulers
Watch: Ramesses II, Egypt, c. 1250
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXUKfJ4XDk4&list=PL26A5D7AA0F7CE7E7
House Altar Depicting Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Three Daughters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryycDVWXDvc&list=PL26A5D7AA0F7CE7E7&index=3
Set #3 should be titled: Egyptian Women
Watch: Thutmose, Bust of Nefertiti, c. 1340 BCE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZuYdIRAIAs&list=PL26A5D7AA0F7CE7E7
Extra Enrichment:
Which is a sneaky way of saying extra credit. If you find yourself hopelessly jazzed by Egyptian art, keep going! There will be lots of opportunities like this one throughout the year. If you are jazzed by a period or an “ism” there will always be more that you can study. And more work equals more points (extra credit!).
BBC resource: A History of the World in 100 Objects. These are fifteen minute podcasts that place object in cultural context. They are awfully good. I listed below the ones that pertain to Egypt.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/about/british-museum-objects/
Use the title of the object being explored as the title of your set of notes. One podcast equals one set of Cornell! notes (1.5 pages).
The Rosetta Stone is one of the most famous objects in the British Museum but the actual contents of its inscription is less well-known. The inscription is a decree that affirms the royal cult of the 13-year-old Ptolemy V on the first anniversary of his coronation in 196 BC. The same inscription is written in three different scripts: Greek, hieroglyphs, and demotic Egyptian. It was this Greek inscription that allowed modern scholars to begin to decipher hieroglyphs for the first time.
Why is the Rosetta Stone written in three different scripts?
In 332 BC, Egypt was conquered by Alexander the Great. After Alexander's death, his former general Ptolemy I ruled Egypt. His Greek descendents known as the Ptolemies ruled Egypt for the next 300 years. The Ptolemaic period witnessed a fusion of Greek and Egyptian cultures. Greek was the official language of the court, while hieroglyphs were limited to use by the priests. Demotic Egyptian was the native script used for everyday purposes.
Netflix resource: these videos are awfully good and stream live.
(Again, take Cornell! notes as a proof that you watched the documentary—each is approx. 50 minutes long).

If you watch extra videos—you can have extra credit.
Choose two of the videos below. You can watch these on the internet—or come by and borrow the DVD from me.
If you choose to watch the DVD after school, you could also choose to watch several shorter videos—The Impressionists with Tim Marlow-- which would then “cover” more artists. Remember, we are trying to get ready for the AP test!!
