Since I do not know much about the ancient civilization, seeing how they represent the human body and how precisely they have...

Art history...Art History Both now and in the ancient past, artists often took their inspiration from the artwork of the past.

By comparing works of art from the Greek to the Roman periods, it can be seen that, while the two cultures shared a great deal of fundamental beliefs, they approached art from two different perspectives. The Archaic Period in Greece (roughly identified as the years between 600-500 BC) was a period of intense transition from the ‘old’ world styles of flattened figures and animorphed images combining the figures of animals and humans in different...

Using the ten-point manual of a vehicle in appreciating the airplane has resulted into a more holistic understanding of its being.

ART history...The Changing Definition of Art What is the definition of art? Encyclopaedia Britannica gives the following definition: “the arts, also called fine arts, modes of expression that use skill or imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others.”
