Unity across time
This course is an expedition of excitement, mystery and beauty. We will travel by felucca, by camel, in caravans and on foot to discover and wonder at the art in the temples, in the tombs and in the sacred documents of ancient Egypt. I will introduce you to the most iconic works from ancient Egypt, and also take you to less well known, more mysterious and remote sites throughout Egypt. I have taught this course at the university level numerous times and have taken students with me on life changing travels throughout Egypt, and that is what I want for you.
I teach lecture courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius
This course is designed under the premise that humans should be taught in a way that is modeled after the educational patterns of evolution.
The design, development and application of educational systems based on the educational principles of evolution generates a philosophy and methodology of education in synchrony with the evolutionary education system that is firmly and deeply rooted in each of us.
Education for evolution is an educational system designed to help propel humans forward in the natural course of evolution. The purpose of education for evolution is to enhance and strengthen the natural evolutionary process of humans through the mechanism of education. The means to achieve this objective is the design of a curricula based on the same educational techniques and strategies used by natural evolution, enhanced and guided by the application of conscious educational decisions.
At the end of this course students will be able to appreciate and understand this complex and meaningful art of the ancient Egyptians.

Great Explanation, Clear and easy to understand
Love this course!
Great Course, Just so complete and full of details! Thank you so much! I'll be waiting for more!!!
The narration was very slow.
I found this course very helpful especially through the descriptions of what he liked in each piece of art, helping me to see it more clearly.
It's really interesting with a lot of pictures of pyramids and stelae etc.
Excellent introduction to Egyptian Art. I really liked the slow and measured pace that makes easier to comprehend the ideas pushed forward. The instructor knows the subject and makes interesting points about the art pieces chosen for exposition. There is no "animated" videos in this course but that doesn't make it less interesting. In fact it's easier to appreciate art from still photos. The only complain I can think of is that when the course ended I was left shouting more, more, more!
