This document provides an overview of ancient and classical art from 15,000 BC to 450 AD. It mentions that early ancient art from Egypt is known for frescoes, pottery, metalwork and artifacts found in tombs, with a scarce amount of examples that favored drawing over color. Classical art from Rome and Greece is characterized by its use of geometry and symmetry rather than individual expression. Several known artists from this period are mentioned like Myron, Praxiteles, and the Niobid Painter, along with some of their notable works.
Ancient art refers to art from advanced ancient societies with writing systems, including ancient China, India, Mesopotamia, Persia, Israel, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Prehistoric art was produced before the development of writing or record keeping in preliterate cultures, beginning in the late geological era and often continuing until contact with other cultures. Some of the earliest known artworks include the Venus of Hohle Fels figurine from 35,000-40,000 years ago, the Venus of Dolní Věstonice ceramic figurine from 29,000-25,000 BCE, and the Lion Man of Hohlenstein Stadel ivory sculpture from around 40,000 years ago.
Egyptian painting followed strict rules and symbolic conventions. Certain colors were reserved for specific genders and deities. Yellow and red dyes were obtained from natural sources and applied with gum. Figures' sizes indicated social status. Temple paintings explained rituals while tomb paintings aided the deceased's afterlife. Symbolism conveyed order and mythology. Greek influence later prioritized realism over rigid guidelines.

Egyptian art and culture influenced later societies through hieroglyphics, calendar systems, and beliefs about the afterlife.
The Romans created many forms of art including sculptures, paintings, architecture, and mosaics. Their sculptures were realistic in style compared to the idealized Greek sculptures that influenced them. Roman paintings included frescoes on walls and their iconic architecture featured arches, columns like Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, and structures such as aqueducts and stadiums. Mosaics were made with small tiles and often depicted Roman history and life.
Ancient Egyptian art originated around 3000 BC and was highly symbolic. It was expressed through paintings and sculptures that were intended to keep history alive. Common art forms included architecture, papyrus, pottery, sculpture, hieroglyphs, and literature.

Techniques included drawing heads in profile with full eyes and legs turned to match while the head was at a right angle to the body. Wall paintings adorned tombs and temples and depicted religious scenes

They also placed great importance on the afterlife, leading to the practice of mummification and burial customs. Hieroglyphics, papyrus and monumental structures like the pyramids and Sphinx provide insights into Egyptian civilization.
This document provides an agenda and information about medieval art. It begins with an "Art Rx" quiz on ancient art movements. Then it discusses the medieval art period from 400-1400 CE, including the influences on art during this time from invaders destroying Roman culture. Specific medieval art styles are examined like Byzantine art with the Hagia Sophia as an example, Islamic art with the Dome of the Rock, and Gothic cathedrals like Notre Dame. The document provides context and examples for each medieval art movement and concludes with next steps of finishing tunnel book planning and drafting.
The document provides an overview of ancient Egyptian art from the Predynastic period through the Roman period, listing many prominent artworks and architectural structures from each era. It describes artifacts like the Palette of King Narmer from ca. 3000 BCE, the Great Pyramids at Giza from ca. 2551-2528 BCE, statues of Hatshepsut from ca. 1473-1458 BCE, the Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel from ca. 1290-1224 BCE, and portraits from Faiyum from the 2nd century AD. A wide range of materials are also mentioned, including slate, limestone, sandstone, granite, wood, gold, and encaustic.
While Greek statuary was created to represent idealized human forms of athletes and gods, Ancient Roman sculpture represented real, ordinary people with their natural beauty and imperfections. The main purpose of the statuary was to immortalize, though many Greek and Roman statues were originally painted with bright colors which over the centuries lost the pigment. Greek sculptors derived the facial features from the idealized inner and intellectual characteristics, whereas the Romans inferred the personality from the physical features. As a very representative example, I suggest observing any bust of Vespasian, Roman Emperor depicted with each feature without any glorification. When comparing the statuary of the two great civilizations we can notice another significant difference. The traditions of the Roman Republic equate the nudity represented by the Greek sculpture as a dishonorable impudicity, more in favor of an iconography that represents the republican values of the citizenship.

Wood Metal & Stone
Anatoly "Tony" Vanetik
Stone statues were commonly carved intricately, then painted to
appear more lifelike.
Woodworking was more varied, in that carved pieces were created to
depict scenery and highranking members of society, as well as used
for coffins and tombs. These were often encrusted with metal and
jewels and made incredibly ornate with paintings and hieroglyphs.
Metalworking in Egypt was primarily used as jewelry, and was
reserved for those in higher society.
