Overlaying shapes in parallel perspective for selections from the Amarna civilization as an introduction to creating three-dimensional metal works

problem of the research came about how to produce three-dimensional metal crafts that were diverse in styles and decorations, inspired by the civilization of the ancient city (Tell el-Amarna) and consistent with the rules of work in overlay and parallel geometric perspective. The objectives of the research were to benefit from the surrounding environmental data of the Tell el-Amarna civilization in formulating innovative metal crafts. And employing these overlapping elements through parallel perspective in creating metal artifacts. The research concluded that the Amarna civilization has tremendous architectural value and is a rich source of communication with the artistic roots of the ancient Egyptian heritage and a creative basis for embodying the analytical-compositional idea of the work, and that the use of perspective as a method of engineering drawing has depth. It is real, has mass and occupies a space of space. The body of the metal work appears in its three dimensions as seen by the human eye and with multi-level superimposed surfaces. Overlay is a means of perspective to find new plastic starting points for the three-dimensional metal work and embody the aesthetic values in it, and to emphasize the dimension and depth through the shape, size and location of the shapes. Overlapping and parallel linear perspective present in the body of the work, which achieves visual tension within the composition, and helps in laying structural foundations for the three-dimensional metal work through the accuracy of the formations and the good plastic composition of the structure of the work..
