PAINTING Throughout the history of painting, from prehistoric cave drawings to more sophisticated relief drawings on temple walls, Egyptian mythological murals have always attracted the attention of art lovers. Thousands of years later, the Egyptian painter still develops his skills.	SCULPTURE  The evolution of sculpture has always taken place on Egyptian soil. From the pre-dynasty eras, to the utmost beauty of 18th dynasty sculpture, from Greco-Roman gigantic forms to the more simplified sacred Coptic masses. The Sphinx still watches for newer attempts to defy the mass.
CERAMICS  The Egyptian and his land are difficult to separate. All earth products, like mud and clay, were elements to survival, and of expression. Plates, drinking containers, cooking utensils, and colorful decorative ornaments are all made out of burnt clay. Egyptian pieces from prehistoric eras, pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic and Islamic periods fill museums all over the world. Twentieth century works by artists of today fill galleries of Cairo and Alexandria.	CALLIGRAPHY A form of art that flourished during the Islamic empire, artisanal calligraphy is widely popular in all Islamic countries. For centuries, calligraphers of all tendencies came from all corners of the Islamic world and settled in Egypt, attracted by the wealth of its culture, and the tolerance of its people.
