Find an art museum or gallery in your area that has an Egyptian art collection. Upon arriving at the museum or gallery, locate the Egyptian art exhibits.
If you want a comprehensive overview of Egyptian art and history, start by viewing the oldest objects at the museum first. Many museums display Egyptian art chronologically in order to construct a clear history for visitors.
Understand that Egyptian art is idealized. This means that figures, animals or scenes do not appear to be realistic and are often portrayed with skewed perspective. Artists idealized human and animal representations so the art would be considered perfect; the overall message of the art, rather than the minute details of how it was presented, mattered more to artists.
Keep in mind that Egyptians used hierarchical scale in art. This means that figures of importance, such as a king or god, were depicted larger than unimportant individuals. A figure larger than others doesn't mean the artist made a mistake.
Do further research about Egyptian art online. Many museums have photographs of their collections available on the Internet. Often these photos are accompanied by information and possibly thematic essays, which can help you learn more about the art. Learning about Egyptian mythology is a great way to expand your knowledge about the art; identifying deities will help you determine what is happening in Egyptian art.
