African-Americans in the South after the Civil War were new to the concept of freedom, yet that very small two syllable word meant a lot to them. Slaves were not considered as a piece of property that could be used and abused by their slaveholders anymore. Slaves families were separated by the effects of slavery, so the freed slaves immediately tried to reunite with their families. News finally reached Texas about slaves being freed on June 19th, 1865, also called Juneteenth. Juneteenth is considered one of the oldest known celebrations that commemorated the end of slavery in the United States. The news of the Emancipation Proclamation did not reach Texas until about two years after its public awareness because there was little Union

This artifact represents a boat that slaves would be transported to the Americas. The boats that would transport slaves were made of wood and had large sails. These large ships played an important role in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade because they could hold many slaves. The drawing on the back of the boat is a diagram of how were the slaves would stay. My boat is made of cardboard and covered in wooden sticks. In addition, there is a sail made of paper, but would normally made of cloth. Boats like this would bring the merchants and colonies money, but would ruin the lives of most

A sarcophagus is a stone coffin usually associated with the civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The Sarcophagus Depicting a Battle between Soldiers and Amazons (Warrior Women), housed at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, was crafted by the Romans between 140 - 170 CE While observing the sarcophagus one notices the rectangular and triangular prisms that give it the shape similar to that of a building. This particular coffin is made of marble; however, cheaper alternatives used by Romans include wood, lead, and other stones. Sarcophagi are used as symbols of remembrance and the afterlife. Sarcophagi were Sarcophagi and altars were usually located outside of the city as Romans believed that burials inside the city were a violation.

Its purpose was to represent the chamber for the tomb of Meketre. It was meant to show the boat rowing downstream towards the north. This artifact show that the society greatly valued their pharaohs. Commonly, the Egyptians believed in the afterlife so this is a representation of the funeral to prepare for the afterlife. This artifact shows how the funeral would have been like to have a captain and a person guarding the tomb chamber. This was probably made to remember the death of Meketre since he is sitting on the boat. The society highly valued art to reflect past

first piece is a red figure amphora from approximately 330 B.C.E called the Apulian Red Figure Loutropharos. It depicts Leda lovingly embracing Zeus as a swan after Aphrodite has helped to make Leda fall in love with Zeus. Potters and painters at this time would have been male, therefore they would have made things that applied to their male audiences. For that reason making an amphora with this myth on it would be make sense because the people handling amphora's would have been male. Amphora's were used to carry goods in for trade; this is something men would have done. However it may be more likely that this is a funerary amphora that would have marked an influential mans grave. We see in Leda's somewhat erotic embrace of Zeus that she has

The art work that I have chosen for this formal analysis of an art work is the Painter of Paestum’s piece titled “Red-figure lebes gamikos (marriage vessel) it was made with terracotta red clay. This piece was made between 340-330 B.C. It is approximately 10 inches in height. The present location of this art piece is at The San Antonio Museum of Art in the Greek Late Classical section. The collection is a permanent collection from Gilbert M. and Denman, Jr. whose funds were used to purchase the vessel.” (“San Antonio Museum of Art Wall Text”). These marriage vessels are frequently shown in marriage scenes on Greek vases. This marriage vessel could have been given as a wedding gift or used to contain water for the bride’s bath before the wedding ceremony. Also, it could have been placed by the bride’s door and was possibly used in a ritual of sprinkling the bride with water before the wedding ceremony.

The Herakles and the Erymanthian Boar is a neck amphora. Neck amphorae were characterized as storage jars with necks narrower than the body. They were used for storing and transporting wine and oil. (Encyclopedia Britannica) At the top of the amphorae were circular openings, or mouths, in which the wine or oil was poured or drained. Herakles and the Erymanthian Boar is a terracotta jar with a black circular mouth which leads to the neck. On the neck, there is a repetitive black floral design which stands out well against the color of the reddish terracotta background.

The Greek Storage Jar (Amphora) depicting man and boy was created around 550-540 BCE. It was found in Ancient Greece. The amphora storage jar is made out of terracotta and it is eleven inches in height. Then it was painted on with black and brown paint. This jars colors are used to create contrast, the lines are used to unify it, the shapes on the object are the most important part of the image and patterns are used on the jar to help fill the space on the jar. Therefore colors are used to create contrast.
