A World of Art

A world of art:

Though out history there have been artists and art does not have boundaries. No matter what country, no matter what village you may go to, or even what tribe; you will find some form of art.

Art has had many reasons for being.

Before the written language came into our societies, drawing found it's place of recording and telling other people of: stories, events, and history.

Words started off as depictions of real objects, then as time progressed, so the complexity of our writing did also.

Stories were told of: great battles and courtship, from cave paintings, to drawing being made on the ground.

Colures were found in the form of: crushed rock, to pigments from plants, to sculptures made of rock, clay and wood.

"Every good painter paints what he is."~
Jackson Pollock

From the first: drawings, paintings, and sculptures, art has come a long way, great artists have carved their notch in a world of art..

With some of their works still on show in museums and private collections today.

Nothing has had more impact on the human race, you go anywhere and you will find art, a painting, or a sculpture in town squares, telling of fame and history.

 Cultures in Art

One of the most influential forms in art, Roman art has showed artists of the vitality that art can bring to our lives, and is even revered today.

Art's in Asia have their own styles that have been formed through their own unique cultures such as Chinese art in painting, and the ridged culture of the Japanese history that has developed the fine works of Japanese Art.

Art from the earliest of cultures, otherwise referred as natives have their own raw earthly form of art, this art celebrates their culture and celebrates nature, and the animals who they revered, native animal art.

The early Britons form the North had a strong style which featured largely of knot like designs intricately woven into their art such as these examples of Celtic animal art that I have drawn for you here.

From the earliest of time, the modern peoples eyes widened when they walked into their first cave and witnessed paintings on cave walls, any more have been found since this monumental find all around the globe.

One of the most dynamic artists of his time, he excelled in not only the arts, but also as an inventor to name a few here are some  of Leonardo da Vincis drawings.

The Americas had the beginnings of  a colonial past, a new land where hardship carved a history of individuality and character, formed the American West, and the art celebrated in the history that made it.  Western Art is very much as popular today as the history that carved it, raw, native, colonial.
