Египтяне пользовались яркими и долговечными минеральными красками, которые редко смешивали. За каждым базовым цветом было закреплено определенное значение, от которого зависело, что следует изображать этой краской:
Белый. Символ утренней зари, победы и ликования.
Черный. Символизирует смерть и возрождение в загробном мире.
Красный. Цвет ассоциировался с выжженной солнцем бесплодной землей и означал зло. Красным писали бога-братоубийцу Сета и вредоносных животных.
Желтый. Одна из любимых красок у египтян. Означала вечность и божественную сущность.
Зеленый. Цвет надежды, возрождения и молодости. Характерен для воскресшего бога Осириса.
Голубой. Означал воду и новую жизнь.
Женские фигуры в древнеегипетской живописи обычно изображались с бледно-желтой или розовой кожей, мужские — с коричневой или темно-красной. Фон во времена Древнего Царства оставляли серым, а позже стали заполнять светло-желтым.

my birthday
my favourite holiday
my birthday is on the 10th of august. i should say it’s a remarkable day for me and one of my favourite holidays. besides, i think i’m lucky to have my birthday in summer. therefore i have an opportunity to celebrate it somewhere outside the house,
for example by the riverside. in fact, that’s what we usually do if there’s no rain.
first congratulations
the very first people to congratulate me and to give presents are my parents. early in the morning they look into my room and say “happy birthday”. they always buy me
useful presents. i should say i really enjoy getting presents and i wonder who doesn’t. they express people’s feeling and attitude towards us. i’m very thankful for everything i get.
birthday party planning
on my birthday i usually get up quite early in order to go to the
supermarket and buy all the things i need for the party. i invite my friends in advance by calling them or sending an invitation card. i prefer to have four or five people, just my closest friends. as for my parents and relatives, we get together some other time for tea and a birthday cake. if i
stay at home for my birthday party and have to cook i do it myself. if we go on a picnic we cook meat over the fire and take some cooked food as well. being a tidy person i always clean my flat before having guests.
getting together
a birthday cake is an integral part of this
holiday. in spite of getting older each year i like blowing the candles out. i’m fond of my birthday parties. it’s a good chance to meet your best friends and to spend an evening or even a whole day all together singing songs, dancing, playing games, talking about our life and future, in other words
to have a lot of fun. i truly believe that my friends appreciate this day as much as i do.
conclusion
birthday is considered to be a happy holiday, however, sometimes we feel a bit sad that one more year of our life is left behind. all in all, i always look forward to
celebrating my birthday.
