History is compilation of data and materials gathered throughout time and analyzed to form some consensus of what happened in the past. A common way people learn about history is through reading and memorizing textbooks and historical literature. This can be an effective way of understanding the past but it is important to not overlook other ways of understanding the past such as artwork. Although artwork may not always tell the person about specific knowledge, it may sometimes give more information that other sources could not. The important thing to note about historical artwork is that it shows the scholar insight about what the people of the time thought of themselves and not what other people thought of them. In this way, artwork acts as a primary source and gives off first hand information about a people’s own culture. Specifically,…
Throughout the history of humans, one thing has always stood out. As soon as man was created, art was created. Scientists have discovered cave paintings from cavemen more than ten thousand plus years ago. Ever since we figured we could create objects using mud, we have never stopped. Ten thousand years later and art is one of the most important things we have in the world today. Instead of using mud, we use paint, glass, markers and so on. Some artists work’s stand out more than others, but I will be talking about a few works of art from the local area. The idea of art started ten thousand years ago, and will most likely never end.…
Many people value art becuase it can inform us, we value it if it is true to nature or to life. Platos imitation theory applies here, that all artists are merely copying the form so it can not be good art, but all perceptual experience involves interpretation, so there is nothing to copy. Great historical paintings can give us visual knowledge of certain points in time, but limitations with this is that anything can inform us without being art, a book can inform us but isn't art. This ability to inform us is not what make sus appreciate it but the artistic qualities it…
While all pieces of art have a purpose that represents the essence of the time period, some hold a larger grasp in the majority of the lives of others. For example, the catastrophic events that unraveled in the 1920’s have…
Art is somewhat apart of life. It gives individuals away to be creative in their own way.…

From history, when society goes through change, art follows with it. Art is an expressive platform for those who form a society. Radical changes and events are where artistry is shown the most. Art is the reason why history and information were able to be collected from different eras and centuries. Society has reflected visually and expressed visually in order to convey a message for a fuller…
Art has withstood the test of time, and been around for as long as we can imagine. Art is everywhere. Art is a diverse medium for everyone to express themselves, it could be nothing, it could be anything, but to the eye of the beholder, it is everything. Every piece of art has meaning, and that meaning is different for every observer and open for interpretation. That is what makes art beautiful, not by the appearance but by the message and purpose of the creation.…
The study of humanity provides insight into how humans have developed culturally. The insight that art, literature and music can provide allows us to understand the influence that it provided in the development of our future, or our today. This awareness gives us the opportunity to see how important facts and events have influenced others. Specifically, how artists, writers, performers, and philosophers used these influences to tell the stories of their time. This review provides value in the fact that it allows us to understand how art uses symbolism or how representations of facts or events are portrayed within the artist’s creations.…
As time has passed, the many events that make up world history have transformed society and subsequently the purpose of art. The birth of art occurred around 25,000 years ago and between that time and now, many historical events had caused the purpose of art to change throughout different eras. These different events prove to impact the art of the eras that they occur in, and often many events will happen and art will constantly be changing. One can draw similarities and differences between artists responses to the world around them from two separate eras. Artists responses to their world can be specific yet common, and the purposes of art from these artists change as time moves forward.…
Art is important to our culture, mostly because it is a part of which that makes our culture. It tells our human history and gives us the ideas of what is important to humans in that time period. These arts tell us history, in a similar way to what writing tells us, from oral history. Without many of the artworks that we now have, we would not have a clear look at what all happened.…
The world around us is all shaped by beauty. By the music we make and listen in a car, or at a concert or in our rooms or anywhere, the architecture of our buildings that make up cities, homes, and what is now considered “art,” everything we encounter basically in our everyday lives shapes the world we live in. Art also had the ability to redeem life by finding beauty in the worst, and darkest of times. That means that art can even help us accept death by showing it in a light and not as a dark and scary and a process that all life has to go through. Art helps us try and see that clearer and not from just one perspective. Art gives our human life meaning and can help make it worthwhile. Through the changing world and perspective of beautiful art, we are losing the value of beauty and because of it we might lose the meaning of life with it. Our new technology and fast going pace of life, and changing views that over time we will lose the true meaning of…
We stand in the midst of a threatening epidemic, one that has claimed the minds of hundreds of thousands of young children. Autism is found in every country and region of the world, and in families of all racial, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. The incidence of the severe behavior disorder known as autism has been increasing and now surpasses childhood cancer, diabetes and Down syndrome. Epidemiological studies in North America, Europe and Asia have found an average prevalence of 1% of population affected with ASD, both among children and adults. About 1 in 68 children has been identified with autism in the (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Report, 2014 & 2016; Brugha et al., 2011).…
