A Brief History of Chinese Painting 3.0Jerry Daperro
A brief history of chinese paintings - 中國美術史
Two approaches to painting arts.
The development of Chinese painting took a different path to that of the West. In this very brief on the Chinese painting, we can see how culture, politics and society had shaped its development. In the West, religion and commissioning system have played a very important part in the history of western painting. Buddhism and Daoism in Chinese had the same kind of influence on Chinese paintings as its Western counterpart. But instead the imperial court and the intelligentsia were more important to the development of Chinese painting.
The two approaches were played to two different audiences. In the West it mainly aimed to the public and hang on palaces. In China paintings were appreciated in private, by individual and more likely to be found in library or private studies.

Museum Case Studies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum
A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.[1] Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. Museums have varying aims, ranging from serving researchers and specialists to serving the general public. The continuing acceleration in the digitization of information, combined with the increasing capacity of digital information storage, is causing the traditional model of museums (i.e. as static "collections of collections" of three-dimensional specimens and artifacts) to expand to include virtual exhibits and high-resolution images of their collections for perusal, study, and exploration from any place with Internet.[citation needed] The city with the largest number of museums is Mexico City with over 128 museums. According to The World Museum Community, there are more than 55,000 museums in 202 countries.[2]

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

History and Civilization of the Malays
• During the Paleolithic age (between
4,000 to 10,000 years ago) The
Hoabinians people who were hunters
and food gatherers passed Malay
Peninsula as they moved
southwardly.
• While inhibiting this region, they left
traces of their cultures in caves and
rock shelters; such as stone tools,
remnant of their food and of course
their dead families ( i.e. Perak-man
skeleton).

found by archaeologists
13. • Between 3,500 to 4,500 years ago,
during the Neolithic age another
groups of people from Yunnan in
Southern China, namely the Proto-
Malay and Deutero-Malay moved
into this region and spreaded among
the Malay Archipelago (West and
East Malaysia, Indonesia and
Philippines).
• The Deutero-Malay, the more
advanced people was responsible for
the introduction of the Bronze age in
about 300 B.C. (about 2,500 years
ago).

Bronze age culture is also known as
Dongson Culture.
• The only artefacts found were three
bronze bells and two drums. One of
the drums and a bronze bell were
found in Klang and the rest were
found in Tembeling, Pahang.
• With the knowledge of using more
refined tools, practiced common
cultures and well-organized societies,
the Deutero-Malay occupied the
coastal areas and became the fore-
fathers of modern present Malays.
• The downfall of Malay Kingdom in
Tumasik (Singapore) in fourteen
century forced the ruler;
Parameswara to escape to Malacca.
• Hence, the beginning of Malacca’s
sultanate.

Sri Lanang.

Abdul Aziz from Jeddah to people of
Malacca and their ruler. The ruler Raja
Tengah took the title and name as Sultan

Saleh of Pasai.
17. Source of Malay Form and Culture
• The design of Malay applied arts reflect
various styles.Especially that reflect the
Malay culture and wood-carving on the
wooden palaces and fishermen boats.
• The influence of Dongson culture was
adapted and used as motifs for
decoration in textile and weaving.
• This culture brought in both the organic
and geometric styles (Chou and Hall
stat styles).
• Both styles were used together with
other motifs: i.e. plants, flowers,
bamboo shoots and birds.
• These motifs were also exploited and
used as the design for textile and
pottery, in wood-carving on fisherman
boat (Bangau and Okok) and in Malay
sultanate wooden palaces (kerawang or
awan larat).
