Answer:

1. Color in ancient Egypt was used not only in realistic representations of scenes from every life but to illustrate the heavenly realms of the gods, the afterlife, and the stories and histories of the deities of the Egyptian pantheon. Each color had its own particular symbolism and was created from elements found in nature. Each color was created by mixing various naturally occurring elements and each became standardized in time in order to ensure a uniformity in artwork.

2. USE YOUR CREATIVITY
