Movement of sculpture...

I was correct that Keith Haring used Egyptian shapes and styles depicting human life and activity of man. The similarity between Egyptian symbols and Keith Haring's Egyptian shaped vases is that they are very narrative. The way symbols are illustrated looks as if its telling a story. The symbolism in Haring's vases include flying saucers, a television, people dancing, people running away from snake attacks and repetitive symbols such as babies crawling, designs with lines and dots. Mostly based on the 20th century, Haring designed tools that we use in a way, while Egyptians portray the limited tools they had.

Interesting research actually figurs out that Keith Haring worked completely similar to the Egyptians. The way that the Egyptians worked was that they had the ability to melt metal and formed shapes of his human figures that represents him. This is called an 'iconograph'; this meant an engraving of an illustrated picture from a book or basically any image in particular.
