Prehistoric art

Paleolithic, Egyptian and Greek Art There are numerous ways in which animals have resonated within the human mind.

Two additional works of art that we will discuss, is the Justinian Mosaic and the Bull Leaping Fresco. Both being excellent pieces of art from different periods, we will discuss them in detail with characteristics that are similar and contradictory. The Justinian Mosaic is a wonderful piece that exhibits the well trained craftsmanship of artist from the Early Byzantium period, dating to 547. However, the artist ability from the late Minoan Period equally had a true eye for quality, and it shows

Art is crucial to human evolution because it is both a medium of expression that allows humans to evolve and is also key evidence of human evolution. The development and evolution of the human conscious has a direct correlation to the art created from each time period and has allowed researchers to interpret it, using it as a gateway into early human life. Art acts as a window into the minds and lifestyles of our ancestors. It has influenced the development, evolution, and the process of natural

On behalf of the museum and myself we’d like to thank you for donating to the museum, and as a reward we’d like to give you a sneak peak into our latest exhibition! A burning question that has at least at one point been on everyone’s mind. A question almost equivalent to, “What is Life?” Today we ask, What is Art? Come with me, and let’s find out. Before we enter this first section of the exhibit, I first

Walter Benjamin, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (1936) Benjamin is saying that reproductions reduce the integrity of the art because the product is no longer authentic. Benjamin also speaks of “aura- a symptomatic process whose significance points beyond the realm of art.” (1936). according to him this is missing in works that have been reproduced or produced indirectly, i.e. a copy of a painting or a photograph.
