Welcome to the Ancient World
You probably know that a picture on a wall is art. In this book, we take a look at art that is found in places beyond a wall. The lessons will expand your ideas about what art is and where we find it. Join me on this journey through the ancient world to see some of the oldest art that we know about. You will look at art in caves, pyramids, catacombs, and more. You will discover that art was made for many reasons and purposes, but it always expresses the ideas that the people believed were important. Even though the ideas are from long ago, you’ll find that you share interests and see similar things in the world around you today. You will make art that expresses your own ideas about the world you live in. In that way, you share the experiences of each ancient culture. Your host, Ariel, will join me in each video lesson, as we show you how to use the art materials with ease. Let’s create as we go on a trip through the ancient world to find art. - Brenda Ellis Our ancient art study will focus on cultures that developed along the water sources that flowed into and included the Mediterranean Sea. Although cultures existed in China, India, and other parts of the world, they are beyond the scope of this book.
