Ancient Art

Art is a large range of many.There are many types of art and many ways to create it. Some of the different ways to create art may be through painting, drawing, sculpting. photography, and even by putting random garbage together and tattoos are considered art. Art varies with different cultures and techniques. Anything can be considered art as long as it has a story behind it or a meaning behind it. Art has existed for billions of years. We get most of our knowledge about our history though ancient depictions of woolly mammoths Indians and ancient Egyptians. Without art the Earth is just "eh"

                                                                                                                                                                 In this picture their are two ancient Pharaohs...in their arms seem to be a smaller human. These pictures tell a story. To me this story looks like the ancient Egyptians where visited by aliens. It looks as if the aliens are helping to Pharaohs with things that our mind cant comprehend. without pictures like these we wouldn't know anything about this time period.




   

  Native Americans also used art to tell their story. Their struggle for survival, hunting animals, and the weapons they used are shown throughout these images. A lot of stories can be told through ancient art. If it wasn't for most of this art today, we wouldn't be so sure as to what happened in these time periods, or what methods they used to survive. In this kind of art, you also see mythological creatures and and animals that don't look like the animals we have today
