contents Foreword is Forearmed. Consisting of a Several Notes and a Dire Warning Eric McLuhan Comunicación The Egyptians of the earliest Dynasties could produce prodigies of civil engineering and breathtaking feats of architectural accomplishment; they had no difficulty making sculptures that faithfully reproduced the originals. But one glance at their drawings and paintings and we conclude that, whatever else, they just couldn't draw very well. They couldn't seem to get it right. They had all the elements but somehow misconstrued them. They almost "got it" but stopped at an early stage and held there, for thousands of years. Now, it appears that they did "get it right" in a manner that has some surprising consequences: the odd quirks that distinguish the classic Egyptian pictorial style serve as the vehicle for a completely novel, and unanticipated, effect. In the following pages, you can see how the ancient Egyptians managed their quirky style to produce lively moving images: by following the four Steps you can soon become adept at bringing the animations to life. 2007 artículo científico 1605-4806 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=199520710018 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1995 Razón y Palabra application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador Razón y Palabra (Ecuador) Num.57
