The Preservation Of Ancient Monuments

The artwork I chose to talk about is on page 232. Figure 8.16, Funerary Relief of a Circus Official, Ostia, 110-130. The medium of the artwork is made from Marble relief. The Tombs in the old days of roman families built outside of the city walls, along roadways entering the city. The vision of the monuments is to preserve individual’s fame, family honor, and status in the society. The extended family of the deceased also held feasts and putting out food and drink for the dead for enjoying. The large figure in the picture is the official himself, holding hands with his wife at the left side. The handshake symbolizes in the Roman art the indication of marriage. The palm branch symbolizes the victory. There are many accents in the artwork

1A: We can examine painting that ancient artists drew, the homes they built, the tools they had, listen to oral history, and much more. There is indeed a benefit to studying history in this way, since it gives a hands-on account of what was there 12,000 years ago, allowing us to see and deduce for ourselves how ancient civilizations operated.

In 1861 there was a war that turned north against south family against family. After their war the created monuments that represent the brave leaders that fought for what the believe in. Now there is controversy over if the monuments should be destroyed. This has created a titanic fight between tow sides one side is for the monuments being destroyed and the other side dose not want it to be destroyed. I believe that the monuments should not be destroyed. I believe they should not be destroyed because we need to remember our history. Finally is that it will not stop the violence.

Monuments are important in keeping history in the present. The viewer experiences the emotions and actions in that specific part of time. Some monuments have awkward locations or the people chosen are unsuitable to represent the time. Any group or agency must consider who the person is and where the monument’s location should be before publically displaying it.

We view historical preservation as very important. This year we helped the Secretary of State with a biographical project, Legacy

Archaeology is the most common way to learn about the existence of humans. Many cultures have left written records behind providing information about life for them. The records left behind often tells about wealth, religion, hierarchy, important dates, property ownership and etc. Those records are often written from one person prospective and may not be all true. Understanding the life of past cultures that have no written records is what make archeology important. Archeology gives a voice to the voiceless with the hope of discovering their story.

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the ideals of conservation, protection, and preservation became embedded within the development industry. Intensive periods of growth, urban and suburban sprawl, coupled with the surge and education regarding environmental liability took a toll upon the United States’ national resources. Throughout this period in the Unite States, the preservation movement developed into a network of National Parks throughout the country, in addition to laying down the groundwork for the conception of preservation to be adapted within other fields. One type of a historic site, which is arguably deserving of conservation, and frequently encountered throughout the United States are battlefields, in particular

For example, photographers could have documented buildings that existed but have been destroyed, like the World Trade Center. The World Trade Center was built in 1973 but was sadly destroyed in 2001. Many images have been taken of those buildings and civilians can look back on those pictures to remember how the buildings looked before the attacks, as well as during the attacks. In this case, the pictures from the devastating day in September of 2001 represents a horrid historical event that people still pay their respects to, to this day.

This is a bad cycle that more destructions will occur in the future. History is important because people will realize what mistakes did they made. In addition, it provide people how they can protect the natural environment. Analyzing history is a significant process us to improve for human's and animal's

What is heritage tourism? Heritage tourism is defined as “traveling to experience the places, artifacts, and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present. It includes historic, cultural and natural attractions.” It is important because it shows what we as people or citizens of a certain area or region considers value enough to preserve it and pass it on to future generations. There are also a lot of economic benefits to heritage tourism; it creates a lot of jobs and diversifies the local economy.

Art can be used in several ways so therefore there are many ways to memorialize a historical event. Sculptures are one of the more common ways that historical events are preserved for example many Greek sculptures usually constructed from marble or bronze, like the statue of David which is very well known. Photography is another method of preserving the past, although taking less skill it still retains much of the impact as it literally brings past events to the present a good example being the photo of the falling man during the 9/11 attacks. The photo was very controversial as it captured a man falling from the twin towers to his death many consider this picture an intimate moment that should

What makes monuments so special is the way that they explain our history, and all of the special events that caused the events. People say its a waste of time, and money, but is it really, but really it’s a chance to understand the interesting facts about the past that we never knew about.

Two, four, six, eight, ten, antiques need to go back to their origins. Antiques need be relocated back to their original origins, because that's where they belong and came from in the beginning. They need to be returned to the origins or place they came from because that is where they were made, and they belong with the people that made them.

Monuments are used to memorialize and honor moments, individuals and events of the past. Some monuments do this better than other monuments. In creating a monument there are three essential factors a group or agency should consider to make the monument as effective as possible: location, design features, purpose and backstory. Why these factors? Location and design factors play a massive role in the reception the monument will receive, based on its environment, size and looks a monument will be perceived differently. The purpose and backstory are the two single most important factors to consider in creating a monument. The monuments history, its reason, is the reason just? Is the purpose proper? Does it accurately memorialize the subject? All these questions come with the purpose and backstory of a monument.
