During the Stone Age, sculptures were made from stones and rocks as other materials had not yet been discovered. Tools used to shape the sculptures were also made of stone. The sculptures likely depicted aspects of daily life like hunting and animals, as lifestyle heavily influenced what the sculptures represented. Due to crude stone tools and an inability to photograph references, the early sculptures were probably very rough and exaggerated in appearance compared to the actual subjects they depicted.

![Sculptures during the Stone Age<br />,[object Object],During the Stone Age I think that the materials used to make sculptures were stones and rocks. During the Stone Age materials such as glass and marble where not discovered therefore the people during this era could only use what they had to make sculptures which was mostly rock. All sorts of stone such as limestone where used to create tools to help shape sculptures. They would have to create tools from stone then shape and craft stone to shape it the way they want to. <br />,[object Object],I think that there was many factors that influenced what the sculptures represented and where about but I think they were mainly influenced by lifestyle. During the Stone Age things such as survival where very important e.g. hunting for food, living circumstances, lifestyle and daily routines. Sculptures during this time must have been based on these kinds of things because not a lot of things that happened in that area are as interesting to us as they would have been for people living in that era. They must have created sculptures in shapes of them hunting or animals that they hunted or things that they saw or important things that helped them through life because that is what influenced and represented them. It’s what they felt during this time and I think that lifestyle influenced what their sculptures where about.<br />,[object Object],I think that these sculptures must have been very un precise and much exaggerated. The way they looked must have been very old looking and very untidy because of the tools used to make these sculptures. They did not have the professional tools that we have in the modern days and the tools they had where man made using stones and it must have been harder to shape and carve the sculptures because they would have to remember what they saw by memory because they could not take pictures. The sculptures might have been bigger to the size that the actually thing they saw was because they wanted to show what they had seen clearer.<br />](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/sculpturesduringthestoneage-110413090656-phpapp01/85/Sculptures-during-the-stone-age-1-320.jpg)

The powhatan culture
The document summarizes aspects of Powhatan village life as encountered by early European settlers. It describes the yehakins (buildings) that housed families, with the ruler having a larger home. The daily lives of Powhatan people involved hunting, gathering, cooking, and community meetings. A variety of tools are shown, such as bow and arrows, knives, and axes, which were used for similar purposes as modern tools. Powhatan culture was passed down orally and through visual artworks like totem poles, with natural resources used to create paints and dyes. The hairstyles of Powhatan men distinguished hunters, with one side grown long and tied up while the other was shaved short
Types of sculptures my report
This document discusses different types of sculpture including relief, which projects from a background plane to varying degrees (bas-relief projects less than high relief). It also describes sunk relief used in ancient Egypt where the image is cut into a flat surface. Free-standing sculpture can be viewed from all angles, while kinetic sculpture moves with power. Assemblage sculpture pieces together found objects in a new aesthetic form.
Paleolithic times
The document summarizes key developments from the Paleolithic period including the emergence of stone tool technology, the movement of humans from caves to villages, and early forms of shelter, art, and symbolic communication. Stone tools allowed humans to cut, shape, and work wood, enabling the creation of projectile weapons, shelters, and other technologies. Cave paintings provided early expressions of beliefs and perspectives on life. Archaeological artifacts and remains like the Skara Brae houses in Orkney, Scotland provide clues about Paleolithic life and how societies were organized.

This document summarizes an energy consumption study that uses narrative interviews to understand people's "energy biographies". The study examines how life transitions and community contexts influence energy use. Researchers interviewed people in various UK locations about their daily routines, life events, and views on identity and energy consumption. The interviews explored themes like community, daily routines, life transitions, and how consumption relates to identity. The study aims to improve understanding of how lifestyle changes and community support can reduce energy use. It uses narrative methods to help participants reflect on their energy practices.
Final project
Eternal Vigilance is a 500-pound bronze statue created by local artist John Silk Deckard and installed in front of the Erie Art Museum in 1983. Deckard depicted the work as a "heroic, self-clutching figure" and hoped viewers would unravel its meaning. The statue took over a year to complete using the lost wax casting technique, where Deckard first made a small wax model and then a larger version to cast in bronze.

Japan pottery
This document summarizes the changes in pottery styles in Japan from 30,000 BC to 300 AD across the Jomon and Yayoi eras. During the Jomon era, pottery evolved from simple coiled pots to larger, heavier decorated vessels as people settled down. Distinct pottery styles emerged between 8000BC-5000BC and 5000BC-1500BC. In the Yayoi era beginning in 300BC, the introduction of pottery wheels and rice cultivation changed pottery to be smoothed and mass produced to support growing communities and trade. Cultural developments like the emergence of Shinto religion and use of bells in ceremonies occurred as Japanese civilization progressed.
Prehistoric art (The Stone Age Paleo/Meso/Neolithic period)
The document discusses prehistoric art from the Stone Age, including the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. During the Paleolithic period, the first pictorial manifestations appeared as humans settled near rivers and lakes. Cave paintings from this time have been found in France and Spain, using natural pigments and stone tools. In the Mesolithic period, art became more geometric and used a restricted range of colors, while the Neolithic period saw the emergence of agriculture and more permanent settlements, along with weaving, megalithic architecture, and early forms of pottery and statuary.
Japan Dialogue Journal
The document provides a weekly travel diary from May 21-28 of a trip to Tokyo, Japan. It includes daily entries describing experiences such as admiring the architectural diversity, visiting temples and museums, shopping in Harajuku, and reflecting on Japanese culture and history. Impressions include enjoying the bright colors, textures, and intricate designs seen throughout the city as well as appreciating the contrast between modern and traditional styles. Nature is also a theme, from the trees at Meiji Jingu forest to the bright purple flowers spotted. The diary captures feelings of wonder, nostalgia, and being a curious outsider experiencing Japanese traditions.
The stone age
Tools helped Stone Age people improve their lives by allowing them to do tasks more efficiently like digging, hunting, and farming. They made tools by shaping wood handles and attaching sharp stone blades using fibers and glue. Tools also helped groups defend themselves better. Farming further improved lives by providing a stable food source so people no longer had to constantly search for food and could settle in one place. Art from cave paintings provides insights into the animals, rituals, and environment during the Stone Age that help humans understand life at that time.

Sources of history by bushra memon
The document discusses different types of sources that help historians understand history. Material sources include artifacts from the past that can provide information about ancient life. Written sources consist of inscriptions and literature from various periods. Oral sources are folk songs and tales passed down through generations without being written. Together, material, written, and oral sources help historians reconstruct events and understand different historical periods.
Piecing together history
Archaeologists study past cultures and life through artifacts and structures left behind. They form questions about the past and gather evidence through excavations to analyze. Archaeologists must carefully plan dig sites by researching and mapping areas that could provide evidence to answer their questions about ancient peoples and times. Various kinds of enduring remains like pottery, city ruins, and trash pits provide a window into history.
history of Art
The document provides an overview of the history of arts from prehistoric to Neolithic periods.
- During the Paleolithic period (Old Stone Age), prehistoric art first emerged, including cave paintings depicting animals. Sculptures from this period include the Venus figurines.
- The Mesolithic period saw the gradual domestication of plants and animals and formation of settled communities.
- In the Neolithic period (New Stone Age), arts emphasized goddesses and female figures. Pottery became more decorated. Villages had stone furniture and paintings on walls. Agriculture and polished stone tools were developed.
History Lecture 2
This document provides a recap of a lecture on the history of architecture and the built environment. It discusses man's early attempts to colonize and personalize space through examples like cave paintings at Lascaux and Bhimbetka Caves in France and India.

FIRST QUARTER ARTS - PREHISTORIC ART.pptx
The document provides information about prehistoric, ancient Egyptian, and classical Greek art forms. It discusses the characteristics and materials used in paintings, sculptures, and architecture during the prehistoric period. Paintings were found inside caves and used plant dyes and animal fat as paint. Sculptures were crude forms carved from stone, ivory or animal bones. Architecture featured megaliths or large standing stones used for burial monuments. It then compares and contrasts the art forms between the three time periods.
Capstone statement
The artist took an intuitive approach to their work, finding studio time difficult and feeling uninspired by their initial ideas and the work of other artists. They found that simply making work in the studio without overthinking helped them progress. Geological formations they had visited inspired the hexagonal stoneware coils they extruded and assembled into sculptures, trying to achieve precarious balances defying gravity. The process involved failures and breaks that helped improve subsequent pieces. The work resulted in a series pursuing balance, aesthetically informed by geology.
What Is Art?
This document discusses various perspectives on what can and can't be considered art. It explores whether things like movies, fashion, graffiti, furniture, and photographs should all be viewed as art forms. It also examines the role of artistic talent and imagination in creating art, different reasons why people create art, and how archaeology can provide insight into past cultures through unearthed works of art.

Differences and similarities of sculptures 2
Environmentally friendly sculptures and modern sculptures differ in their design, materials used, and purpose. Environmentally friendly sculptures are meant to be understood by viewers and use natural materials like wood to share a message about environmental protection, while modern sculptures have complex designs made from materials like plastic that can harm the environment and are intended more for aesthetic purposes than conveying a message. Both types of sculptures reflect modern times rather than historical styles, with environmental sculptures taking inspiration from nature and modern sculptures exhibiting styles like cubism.
Differences and similarities of sculptures 1
Roman sculptures often depicted animals and beasts, whereas Renaissance sculptures usually featured nude human figures. Roman sculptures emphasized accurate details in portraits, while Renaissance sculptures focused more on emphasizing the sculptures themselves. Both Roman and Renaissance sculptures were influenced by Greek art, though Romans copied Greek styles directly while Renaissance artists adapted Greek styles.
Differences and similarities of sculptures 3
Ancient Egyptians and Greeks created sculptures for different purposes and using different materials. Egyptians built sculptures to accompany wealthy individuals in the afterlife, often creating tomb sculptures to hold bodies. They commonly used painted wood, limestone, and sandstone but later used gold and bronze. Greeks mainly used durable marble and bronze for sculptures honoring leaders and gods, also creating mythical sculptures combining animal features. Both civilizations made sculptures representing rulers and deities as well as the Sphinx, though Egyptian versions were larger.

How have costumes and textiles changed over the years
Clothing has evolved significantly over time. Early humans wore animal skins and other natural materials for protection and warmth starting over 100,000 years ago. The development of sewing around 40 AD allowed for more complex clothing like togas and tunics. In the 1770s, the invention of the sewing machine made clothing production more efficient. Throughout history, fashion diversified and became more about self expression, influenced by events like wars, music trends, and expanded material options. Today, clothing design is highly varied and people generally have more freedom to choose their own styles compared to strict standards of the past.
What are visual arts?
Visual arts include mediums such as paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and architecture that primarily stimulate visual perception. They often convey messages and can be used to raise awareness for issues. Visual arts appeal to sight and generally exist as physical objects or experiences that can be seen. Examples include paintings, sculptures, films, and buildings.
Sound wave and golden flapper dress
The sculpture "Sound Wave" is made from melted recycled records bent into the shape of a wave, expressing the artist's feelings about the preciousness of music and people's failure to recycle. It shows his musical tastes and love of music in a creative way. The "Golden Flapper Dress" is made from crushed and recycled bottle caps and tops arranged to resemble the styles of the 1960s in different metallic shades. Both pieces use recycled materials arranged in overlapping patterns to creatively express the artists' messages about recycling in an imaginative and thought-provoking manner.
Presentation on Artist
Robert Bradford is an artist known for his unusual sculptures made from recycled materials. He was inspired to make toy-like sculptures by looking through his children's toy boxes and being intrigued by the colors and forms. Bradford uses a variety of found objects and environmental waste in his artwork, such as magazines, timber, and tree branches, partly because it is inexpensive. He creates human-sized and larger-than-life animal sculptures to imagine what it would be like to be other creatures and represent all living things that share the environment. Bradford assembles his sculptures using techniques like sticking together plastic pegs to form limbs, and credits the original creators of any ideas he adapts for his unique works.
Brainstorm ideas of our sculpture
The document provides a list of ideas and materials for creating sculptures and displays about environmental issues and sustainability. Some of the ideas mentioned include making a globe, frame, robot, and tree out of recycled materials like cans, cardboard, plastic, and wood to promote messages around reducing waste, saving energy, and protecting the environment. The list appears to be brainstorming concepts for an art installation about recycling and sustainability.
Techniques needed to make our sculpture
The document discusses the techniques needed to create a sculpture out of recyclable materials. The main part of the sculpture will be a man made out of aluminum Coke cans glued together using a glue gun. Aluminum strips cut from cans and glued to the back will support the sculpture. A bin will be made by gluing cans together and adding cardboard strips inside for stability and strength. The techniques of gluing, cutting, and sticking aluminum cans and cardboard allow for easy construction of the sculpture from recyclable materials.

Some of the ideas mentioned include making a globe, robot, or tree out of items like cans, cardboard, plastic, and wood to promote messages around protecting the environment, saving energy, and stopping pollution and global warming. The list appears to be brainstorming ideas for an art installation or sculpture to raise awareness of these issues.
Sculptures in Cranford Community College
The sculpture represents the borough of Cranford, New Jersey with a crane holding a globe. It was made out of recycled materials like steel circles and tiles to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Cranford. The brown twigs secure the statue and the marble platform supports it.

Environmental issues affecting the uk
This document discusses two major environmental issues affecting the United Kingdom: 1) The dumping of food waste and non-recyclable materials is causing harm to the environment and health issues for people. Rotting food waste releases methane and attracts pests like rats. 2) Air pollution from sources like factories, vehicles, and farms introduces harmful chemicals and particulate matter that damage human health and the environment.
