The analysis of the various points established in the program will allow for a deep characterization of each Egyptian artistic production, as well as their respective structural elements. At the same time, we will try to articulate and relate those characteristics with the natural, political, social, economic, cultural and mental conditions of the Egyptian civilization.

The study of the various Egyptian artistic manifestations included in the program will help frame the Egyptian artistic production as a step in the “artistic and mental walk of Humanity”.
