Art has been present
in all time, from the beginning of the human species. From the antique tribes
to our modern age, if we see antique carvings and paintings on rocks and caves
we find that art is a form of expressions since human being is part of the
planet. Art is a way to express feelings, knowledge, experiences, to illustrate
objects, places, persons, etc. Painting, poetry, music, sculptures, to name a
small division of art and to give a short and fast explanation of this theme
that involves hundreds and thousands ways to give us a full feeling life and a
strong and creative spirit.
Origin
of art begins in Paleolithic age ,during stone age some years ago we thought
that art started in superior Paleolithic age as a characteristic production of
homo sapiens sapiens about 40 000 years
in Europe but recently specialist found older art expressions in continents
like Africa and Australia. First artistic manifestations were carvings
paintings tribal sculptures masks and many more objects found in the
archeologists investigations helping us know a certain knowledge about antique
expressions of artwork. Thanks to this we know what and when this took place.
For
example Egyptian art from 5300 b.C to 30
a.C its very famous for its paintings
and sculptures found in funerary sites and temples. An awesome fact is that
back in the time the artisan’s that made painting and sculptures where not
considered artist unlike the architects that were awarded for their work. It’s
interesting that back in the day the artist where hired to make precise
paintings and not original and different styles like nowadays. It is a shame
that it work that way because art is a way to express what each person feels
and it is a voice of the spirit and soul that is represented in each artist
style and creativity.
Art
continue dividing among time in a chronologic type of order. This is the order
that divides the different changes and periods of art starting with prehistory,
antique age, middle age, modern age and ending with contemporary age each of
this divisions has a lot of other divisions and styles. Each of the styles gives
us an example of each culture, way of life, experiences and feelings that the
artist had in the moment the art piece was created showing the spectator what
he wanted to demonstrate this voice from the soul personified in an artwork .
In
conclusion, all of our ancestors from back in the day till now wanted to
express that inner voice and translate it in a physic form so others will
understand what the artist was trying to demonstrate. It could be a poem, a
painting, a song, an sculpture it doesn’t matter because any of the named is
full of expression and creativity so we have to take care and appreciate that
legacy that was given to us from the past and brought generation to generation
till now a days we have to love art and be passionate about it.
