Famous woman from Wilendorf is a sculpture of a faceless, obese woman in a shower cap which is much different than the cave drawings which is why it fascinates me.
This cave painting on the left is one of my favourites. I love the small amounts of detail put into it, it shows what they was going on in this time of life. I feel like it was a way to pass information to others, or a ritual of some sort.Most cave paintings are about hunting or animals, other abstract like paintings were found but they aren't as common.
Below this text is rock art, it is an archaeological term, and it is art carved into stone by humans. I find it fascinating how they do this. Just shows you really don't need a pen and paper, or any art supplies to create a work of art.
In some parts of the world they had art like poetry, pottery, drama, stories and clothing.
They believed that 'art is the property of the artist'.
During the middle ages, people started making realistic art. They no longer created unrealistic things and started making new works involving the bible.
People discovered that art can be used in science during the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci painted mythical pictures along with scientific and religion. This is when they started to use perspective when painting the real world. They also started to look at the human body more as it is instead of how they think it should be.

| The Scream - Vincent Van Gogh |
Modern art came in around the time the Scream painting was created. Block colours, weird shapes, bright lights. This is when everybody started expressing themselves through art as if we need it in our lives or we'll never be relieved.
