Petroglyphs and pictographs are ancient forms of artwork and symbols carved or painted on rock surfaces that were used by many early cultures worldwide to communicate ideas, express themselves, and represent their culture and tribes. While some date back to 1600 BC, most modern examples have been found in locations around the world, such as Hawaii, China, Arizona, Canada, Africa, and Egypt. Ancient peoples created them for ceremonial and cultural purposes, and many symbols from petroglyphs and pictographs are still used today to represent ideas, groups, concepts, and communicate messages although modern technology has also given rise to new symbols like the Apple logo.

Paleolithic and neolithic
The document provides information on Paleolithic and Neolithic civilizations. During the Paleolithic, humans lived in small bands and subsisted through gathering and hunting. The climate fluctuated between warm and cool periods. In the Neolithic, humans began practicing agriculture around 6500 BCE, leading populations to increase and civilization to emerge. River valleys provided fertile soil for agriculture, and civilizations developed around irrigation systems, divisions of labor, calendars, forms of government, and writing. Culture and art advanced during this period as well.
Sumerians
- Sumer was an ancient civilization located in southern Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) from around 4500 BC to 2000 BC. It is considered one of the earliest civilizations in the world.
- The Sumerians developed new techniques in agriculture such as irrigation, which allowed cities and states to form along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This led to the development of writing, specialized labor, trade, and greater population densities.
- Sumerian city-states rose to power between 2900 BC to 2334 BC until it was conquered by the Akkadian Empire. After a brief resurgence, Sumerian dominance ended as the region became dominated by Semitic
Neolithic revolution
The Neolithic Revolution refers to the transition of human societies from hunting and gathering to agriculture and settlement between 8000-3500 BCE. The development of agriculture began in Southwest Asia and allowed populations to grow as food supplies became more reliable and abundant. Sedentary living led to the establishment of permanent villages and towns, which saw further technological advances in tools, pottery, weaving and metallurgy. The first large settlements, such as Catalhoyuk and Jericho, displayed evidence of social stratification and specialized labor. By 3500 BCE, advanced river valley civilizations had formed along major river systems.
What is archaeology
Archaeology is the study of ancient civilizations through their remains and artifacts. Archaeologists excavate sites to learn about how people lived in the past. They search carefully in a grid system, record the location of any finds, and analyze artifacts in a lab. With permission, they dig at places like middens, which were ancient trash dumps that contain clues about the past through flakes and other remnants. By piecing together fossils and artifacts, archaeologists can reconstruct life in periods before written history.
Ancient Greek Art
Ancient Greek art focused on humanism, seeking perfection of the body and mind. It greatly influenced Western culture. The Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods are covered. Examples shown include the Kouros and Kore sculptures, works by Polykleitos like the Doryphorus, and the Venus de Milo. Greek pottery styles like black figure and red figure are described. Architecture like the Parthenon and its columns are analyzed using the Golden Ratio. The Parthenon's pediments and metopes are examined.
THE ANCIENT GREEKS
The Ancient Greeks lived in Greece and surrounding areas from around 3500 BC to 146 BC. They created the first Olympic games in 776 BC and produced famous epics and plays in the 5th century BC. Key city-states like Athens and Sparta grew powerful but often argued, and Greece was eventually conquered by the Roman Empire in 146 BC. The Greeks were talented thinkers, artists, and athletes who built temples and theaters and laid the foundations of Western civilization.

Introduction of prehistoric art
Prehistoric art refers to artwork created before written history. It is debated when the earliest human artifacts with artistic purpose were created. Archaeologists have identified four main types of Stone Age art: petroglyphs which are images carved into rock surfaces; pictographs which are pictorial symbols painted onto surfaces; cave paintings found on cave walls and ceilings from prehistoric times; and prehistoric sculpture and megalithic art which used large stones as an artistic medium. Art historians are developing a better understanding of prehistoric art and its possible meanings through new technologies and archaeological discoveries.

Introduction to Archaeology
Archaeology involves formulating research questions and using scientific methods like surveys, excavations, and analysis of artifacts, features, and ecofacts to understand past human cultures and behaviors. Key aspects of archaeological work include developing relative and absolute chronologies to date sites, using qualitative and quantitative analysis of materials, and interpreting patterns in the data to evaluate theories about how humans interacted with each other and their environments. The goal is to extract meaningful information from archaeological remains to learn about past societies and human life.
Greek art
Greek art developed over several periods beginning with the Minoan civilization on Crete between 2700-1500 BC and the Mycenaean civilization from 1600-1100 BC. During the Geometric period from 900-700 BC, art featured geometric motifs while the Orientalizing period from 700-600 BC saw influences from Near Eastern cultures. The Archaic period from 600-480 BC saw the rise of stone temples and more naturalistic sculpture. Classical Greek art from 480-323 BC created famous works under the Athenian empire and featured developments like contrapposto. Hellenistic art from 323-31 BC advanced realism and embraced new subjects after Alexander the Great's conquests spread Greek culture.
Greek Art and Style
Greek art is characterized by naturalism and idealism in human form. The Greeks achieved great success in sculpture and architecture between 1000-400 BCE, striving for perfection and proportion in portraying the human body. The three classical orders of columns - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - were interpretations of ancient post-and-beam structures made in stone with distinctive features at the top and base of each style. Greek artistic influences remain prominent today.
Animism
The document discusses the concept of animism, which refers to the belief that spiritual beings exist in nature and that all objects have an inner psychological being. Animism was a primitive form of religion that believed in spiritual forces localized in different natural areas and objects. For many indigenous groups, animism involved showing respect to the spirits of the land, animals, plants and asking permission before disturbing or taking from nature to maintain balance. The document also discusses how animism relates to polytheism and the belief in many gods, as well as how certain groups still incorporate animistic beliefs with other religions like Christianity.
Greek art
This document discusses Greek art across three periods - Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic - from the 7th to 2nd centuries BC. It focuses on architecture, sculpture, and pottery. Greek art emphasized ideal proportions of the human body, copying from nature, and strict rules of proportion, beauty, and harmony. Architecture featured temples constructed in three orders - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Sculpture evolved from rigid Archaic styles to more realistic Classical works to expressive Hellenistic sculptures. Pottery provides insights into Greek culture and evolved through Proto-Geometric, Geometric, Black-Figure, and Red-Figure styles.
Greek Pottery
Greek pottery served various purposes and provided insight into Greek culture. Pots were used to store food, liquids, and ashes of the deceased. They also became a medium for storytelling, as Greeks often painted scenes from myths and stories. Black figure pottery emerged as designs became more complex, followed by red figure pottery which was more difficult but allowed for overlapping figures. Around 40 years after the invention of red figure pottery, pottery production ceased except for funeral urns, likely due to the development of cheaper metal plates and vessels.
An overview of civilization
This document provides an overview of the origins and key developments of early civilization in the Middle East around 4000 BC. It notes that while agriculture had taken hold earlier, more time was needed for populations to grow sufficiently to support specialization and surplus production. By 4000 BC, widespread agriculture across the region along with new inventions and social organizations came together to provide the necessary conditions for civilization to emerge, centered initially in localized areas but pulling an expanding region into their economic orbit. Key factors that enabled this transition included improved agricultural productivity and the formation of regional population centers.
Early civilizations
The document summarizes four early river valley civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and Ancient China. It focuses on details about Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations. Mesopotamia developed between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, with irrigation canals enabling agriculture. Writing in cuneiform on clay tablets emerged over 5,000 years ago. Egyptian civilization arose along the fertile Nile River valley. Power was centered around pharaohs, who were believed to be gods and controlled the land and trade. Both civilizations made advances in art, architecture like pyramids, and religion involving many gods and beliefs about afterlife.
Paleolithic age
The document discusses the Paleolithic Age from 2.6 million to 10,000 years ago, covering the Lower, Middle, and Upper Paleolithic eras. It examines the climatic conditions and ways of living during this period, including food and nutrition, shelter, tools, religion, beliefs, art, and music. The Paleolithic Age marked early human evolution and the development of stone tool technology.
Pre-history & Early Man [PDF]
Early humans originated in Africa around 2 million years ago. Fossil evidence shows that the earliest humans were Australopithecus who lived around 4 million years ago. Later hominids such as Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus developed increased brain size and the ability to walk upright. During the Ice Age starting 2.6 million years ago, early humans migrated from Africa across land bridges as glaciers advanced and retreated. Modern humans, Homo Sapiens, emerged around 200,000 years ago and Homo Sapiens Sapiens developed around 50,000 years ago. The development of language, tools, fire, and other cultural adaptations enabled humans to spread across the globe. Around 12,
palaeolithic age
The document discusses cave paintings and tools from the Paleolithic period. It notes that cave paintings used various colors made from plant extracts and limestone powder. The paintings depicted animals like horses, deer, and lions. Animal fat provided lighting in caves before sunlight. Hunting scenes provided evidence of early human planning and dexterity. Paleolithic humans made stone tools and used bones, wood, and animal skins as weapons and clothing. Several important Paleolithic sites in India are mentioned.

Greek Art
This document provides an introduction to Greek art, including its main periods, genres, and styles. It covers the major periods of Greek art - Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic - and highlights some of the most important works within painting, pottery, sculpture, and architecture from each period. Key examples mentioned include the Parthenon, sculptures by Phidias and Praxiteles, and painted pottery by the Niobid Painter.
Nazca line
The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in Peru's Nazca Desert consisting of hundreds of figures such as hummingbirds, spiders, and monkeys carved into the ground and only visible from high altitude. Created by the Nazca culture from around 200 BC to 600 AD, the lines would have taken a long time to construct and are one of the most prominent archaeological sites from the Early Intermediate Period in Peru, however, their purpose remains unclear.
Greek pottery
The document provides information about ancient Greek pottery, including that:
- Clay was readily available and inexpensive, making it a useful material for creating storage containers, dishes, and other cookware before the widespread use of glass or metal.
- Pottery was formed using techniques like wheel throwing or coil building and then fired in kilns to make it strong and waterproof.
- Decorative styles like geometric, orientalizing, and black and red figure painting evolved over time and were used to depict myths and daily life.
- Pottery production was an important industry and art form in ancient Greece, though generally considered less prestigious than metalwork. Fragments that have survived provide insight into Greek culture

History sources archaeology primary & secondary sources
The document discusses the nature of history and how historians investigate the past. It states that history is an investigation or inquiry into past events using various types of sources as evidence. Historians use tools from different fields like science, literature, and economics to help solve mysteries of the ancient past, similar to how detectives solve crimes. When investigating the past, historians have to piece together information from artifacts, writings, oral histories, images, and other sources to get a full picture since the evidence is sometimes incomplete.
Megalithic culture
This document discusses megalithic sites from South India's prehistoric past. Megaliths were large stone burial monuments used for important tribal figures dating back to around the 5th century BC. They have been found around river valleys, trade routes, and strategic locations. Different types of megalithic structures have been discovered, including dolmens which are single-chamber tombs made of large capstones supported by other standing stones, and menhirs which are single large upright standing stones that may stand alone or in groups. Artifacts found at these sites provide insights into the Iron Age culture and way of life of these early tribes.
Paleolithic and Neolithic Societies
Here are some key points that could be made about what makes humans and societies "civilized":
- Permanent settlements as opposed to nomadic lifestyles. Living in one place allows for more complex social organization and specialization of labor.
- Agriculture and food production. A reliable food source supports larger, more complex populations.
- Advanced tools and technology. The development of tools like plows, pottery, wheels, etc. improves standards of living.
- Formal social hierarchies and government. More complex social structures with defined roles like leaders, priests, artisans.
- Cultural achievements. Monuments, art, writing systems, advanced skills in areas like math, science that demonstrate intellectual/c

It then summarizes the arrival of Europeans, their exploration and colonization efforts, the growth of the United States, including westward expansion and economic development, and periods of social and economic turbulence in later decades.
Petroglyphs in idaho
Petroglyphs in Idaho date back up to 12,000 years and were created by pecking images into basalt rock surfaces. Many sites are located along the Snake River and its tributaries, including Wees Bar with one of the largest collections in Idaho, Celebration Park which is the state's only archaeological park, and Map Rock featuring petroglyphs in the shape of a map. Additional sites where petroglyphs can be viewed are Buffalo Eddy along the Snake River and sites on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille.
Native American pictographs. PPT made for elementary art unit.
Native Americans used pictographs as a form of non-written communication and record keeping. Pictographs used pictorial symbols to represent people, events, and stories. They were a primary means of recording histories and events for many Native American tribes who did not have written languages. Pictographs appeared on items like buffalo hides, rocks, and tipis to commemorate important information for tribes.

1stQtr-1stMeeting-travel
PowerPoint presentations allow users to create dynamic slide shows containing text, graphics, videos and other objects. They can be printed, displayed live or navigated through by the presenter. Microsoft PowerPoint is the most commonly used presentation software. It enables creation and sharing of presentations using diagrams, photos, animations and other visual elements to effectively communicate ideas. The interface includes tabs for formatting slides and viewing presentations in different modes like Normal, Slide Sorter and Reading View. Users can add text boxes, pictures and other content and then view the presentation to test it before an audience.
Path to Better Presentations
The document discusses common issues with PowerPoint presentations and provides tips for giving more effective presentations. It notes that while PowerPoint is widely used, many presentations are ineffective because they rely too heavily on bullet points and text-heavy slides rather than visuals and engaging the audience. The document recommends focusing on simplicity, using images and visuals rather than walls of text, and interacting with the audience rather than treating the presentation like a document to be read. It emphasizes that the presenter, not the software or slides, should be the focus of the presentation.
Hierglyphics 6ºa
Hieroglyphs is an ancient Egyptian form of writing comprised of small pictures that represent sounds or ideas. It was discovered through the Rosetta Stone and written on papyrus reed pages or carved and painted onto stone tomb walls. The Egyptians used sharpened reed pens dipped in plant-based inks to write hieroglyphic symbols representing both phonetic sounds and concepts.

The First Artists
The first artists lived during prehistoric times before written history. They created cave paintings and petroglyphs that provide insights into their world. Cave paintings were made by applying pigments like ochre to cave walls, allowing us to learn about the animals that lived at that time like horses, bison, and reindeer. Petroglyphs involved carving or pecking designs into rock and may have represented early forms of pre-writing symbols. Some of the most famous cave paintings were discovered in 1940 at the Lascaux Caves in France, depicting hundreds of animals.
Clo2 early writing
- Early humans in Africa began developing writing systems as far back as 30,000 years ago, making marks and symbols on cave walls to communicate ideas. These early forms of visual communication evolved into more complex systems over thousands of years.
- In Mesopotamia, the Sumerians invented one of the earliest systems of writing called cuneiform around 3100 BC. They developed pictographs carved into clay tablets using reed styluses. Over time, the pictographs became more abstract and took the wedge-shaped (cuneiform) form. Cuneiform was widely adopted across Mesopotamian civilizations and used to record laws, contracts, and other important documents.

The Importance of Writing, Part One
Early forms of writing began as pictographs and petroglyphs that represented concrete objects and ideas. The earliest true writing systems developed in Egypt, Sumeria, and the Indus Valley around 3500 BCE, though they were pictorial rather than alphabetic. Early writing served practical purposes like recording taxes rather than literature. The Rosetta Stone helped scholars decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs in the 19th century. Understanding the history of writing provides context for how modern writing systems evolved from early forms and the origins of modern grammar conventions.
Company Logos - Post Financial Crisis
Company logos have changed since the financial crisis. The end music playing is "As Time Goes By" performed by Kenny G. Viewers can continue listening to the music or press 'Esc' to exit.

working idea of the essay topic (working thesis statement)
This essay examines iconic photography to demonstrate the ways this type of image functions
in our society—in the historical moment when it was taken—as well as its afterlife in popular
culture, including the fine arts. Leading scholars in the field of iconic photography, Robert
Hariman and John Louis Lucaites, will be used to describe and discuss this genre.
The iconic Depression-era photograph, “Migrant Mother” (1936) by Dorothea Lange will be
examined in its original context and use. Lange took this photograph of Florence Thompson
while on assignment for the Farm Security Administration which was part of President
Roosevelt's Resettlement Administration. It was originally published in the San Francisco News
as a way to legitimize government expenditures to help those people hit hard by the
Depression. This essay will examine how and why the image became iconic.
The second part of the essay explores how iconic images, and this one in particular, has been
adapted by others and re-contextualized for other purposes. One examination is within the
context of fine art. In the late 1980s, American artist Kathy Grove began "The Other Series"
where she would remove female figures from photographs of famous pieces of art using bleach,
dyes, and airbrushing. With "Migrant Mother" she airbrushed it to look like a Calvin Klein ad.
The message of her work was to equate her removal of women and their achievements with the
way that historians and culture has erased women and their achievements.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
