Santa Monica College Egyptian Aesthetic Mood Board Page

Egypt Moodboard – create a mood board page that encompasses the Egyptian aesthetic 

Stylistic Moodboards Instructions

For each stylistic period we look at, you are required to make a mood board that captures the essence of that stylistic period. Each board should be authentic to that time period (meaning that all the images should come from that period and are NOT replicas or inspired by). 

Weekly Moodboard

Each week you will create a moodboard that represents the styles we looked at during that section. Each style should have their own page(s). For example on week 5 we study the Middle Ages which is divided into 3 stylistic groups (Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic), as each of these is different they should each have their own page. Moodboard can be done in a variety of ways, from handmade to digital, take the approach that speaks to you the most!

Each stylistic section/subsection should include the following:

• 1 paragraph describing the style

Using the keywords that showcase the style write a brief 4-5 sentence description of the style

• Possibly to use this as a place to explain the reasoning behind your choices

1 labeled example of architecture 

• Label should include name of structure, date and location

be careful that you don’t use images that are inspired by that style, rather find authentic pieces from that period

• 1 labeled example of furniture
• Label should include the specific name of that piece of furniture 
• For example a ladies desk during the Rococo period is called a “French Mechanical Table”

Color scheme for the era

• 3-5 colors and represent the theme of the time period
• Design motifs that fit the stylistic period
• 3-5 decorative elements from the time period

Accessories such as pillows, mirrors, textiles, etc. or decorative motifs used to aid in design
