What is Ancient Art?

Ancient art is the start of artworks/arts. Even though it's not known as art itself at their time, but a documentary of all the things that are happening in their era, it is still an art.

Why discuss these old things? Is it connected to our arts today?

Of course before we learn other forms of art, might as well know where art came from right? Nothing's gonna be lost. 

What I like about the ancient art, is that they carve, paint, make art in everything they do. Like in some events and such. 

Now let me tell you things about some of their arts during those times. One is The Great Pyramid of Giza. That pyramid is build just and only for the tombs. But now what? It is also a form of art! An architectural art also! Isn't it cool? Some of the other arts also like the carvings on rocks and trees is not made out of own expressions of themselves or their emotions but it is just made to show what they do during those times. Ancient time arts is existing like a diary. But less of a diary. Cause you're showing your arts to people, not hiding it right? Those artworks that they do are so naturalistic and so realistic. Isn't it obvious. 


It is also the basis of all arts done by ancient people. Though works today are said to be unique and original, it is still based and is similar(well a bit) to modern art. Art evolves little by little, slowly. 


How does it connect to modern arts? It's simple. People those days are portraying things by what they see and feel. And today too. Most of our artworks are done based on how we feel at the time we're doing one right?


Knowing the history of something sure does helps us to know what to do, what not to do in the near future. c:

Week 7. "Capture it. Remember it."

 

"I like how the camera capture the moment before it was gone." - Susie Salmon from the movie 'The Lovely Bones'.

That was the first thing that entered my mind. And there I agreed. Yes? A camera can capture every single moment in our lives. We can take pictures that can serve as our memory when we grow old. We can just browse browse and browse old pictures. And there we can remember our old cute, fun, hyper, whatever days. DON'T SAY YOU DON'T AGREE. Cause you do. 

- - Okay. That's for my introduction.

 Last week our professor Ms. A. Kagaoan assigned us to make a montage. She explained to us what to do. Its just like a collage but then in making it, you can see a new picture that has been created through those many tiny pictures. (That's what I've understand.) But then seeing others' montage, I got confused. Really. There I start thinking, what should I do? What should I do? 

In the montage, I include my friend's and few family pictures. Cause as I said in my last blog entry, soundtrack of my life, if my family and friends are gone, I am nothing. I am not who I am. And who knows what I am in the future. c:
