Check my work how and why does the style of the amarna period depart from the traditional egyptian canon?
a. akhenaton's worship of the sun god required that the new religion be portrayed in a manner more imitative of the natural world.
b. the curving forms were seen to emerge from the previous rigid linearity just as akhenaton saw his religion evolving from the old.
c. the curving forms contradicted the rigid lines of the traditional egyptian canon just as akhenaton's new religion contradicted the old.
d. because of labor shortages among craftspeople, akhenaton brought in new artists who preferred more naturalistic forms.
