Art in Early
Civilization
 PREHISTORIC ART

Venus of Parsimony, Dated Circa 25,000 BP. France

The earliest human artifacts showing evidence of workmanship

with an artistic purpose are the subject of some debate. It is clear that
such workmanship existed by 40,000 years ago in the Upper Paleolithic
era, although it is quite possible that it began earlier.
 EGYPTIAN ART

Tutankhamun & Amphetamine

Egyptian society was based on the concept of harmony known as

ma ‘at which had come into being at the dawn of creation and
sustained the universe. All Egyptian art is based on perfect balance
because it reflects the ideal world of the gods. Egyptian art was always
first and foremost functional. No matter how beautifully a statue may
have been crafted, its purpose was to serve as a home for a spirit or a
god.
 PALEOLITHIC ART

Left Wall of The Hall of Bulls

Lascaux II : Reflect of Original cave, which is closed

You the public, Original Cave : c. 16,000-14,00 BCE

Archaeologists that study Paleolithic-

era humans believe that the paintings
discovered in 1994, in the cave at Chauvet-
Pont-d’Arcy in the Arche valley in France,
are more than 30,000 years old. The
images found at Lascaux and Altamira are
more recent, dating to approximately
15,000 BCE. The paintings at Peach Merle
date to both 25,000 and 15,000 BCE.
 NEOLITHIC ART

View of Gobelin Tepe: Situated in the southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, this is
recognized as the oldest known human-made religious structure.

Began with a temple in southeastern Turkey at Gobekli Tepe circa

10,000 BCE. The structure is as the oldest known human-made place of
worship. The complexity of the temple and the effort involved in its
construction imply it was built by long-term settlers.
 OLD KINGDOM
The King's Acquaintances Memi and Sabuca.

2575–2465 B.C. (Old Kingdom)

This statue evokes the intimacy of Memi and his companion,

Sabu, although she is set somewhat apart by her oblique gaze.Recent
studies indicate, however, that many of these nonroyal statues,
including Memi and Sabu, are better dated to the Fourth Dynasty,
contemporary with the great royal statuary programs. The early date
for Memi and Sabu is based both on her coiffure and on the
reciprocated embrace

MIDDLE KINGDOM
 Black Statue by Unknown

The arts of Ancient Egypt continued to develop during this time. A

type of sculpture called the "block statue" became popular. It would
continue to be a mainstay of Egyptian art for 2,000 years. The block
statue was sculpted from a single piece of rock. It showed a man
squatting with his arms folded on top of his knees.

NEW KINGDOM
The Great Temple of Ramesses II, 19th dynasty, Abu Simbel, via Getty Images.
 New Kingdom Egypt immediately followed the chaotic period
known as the Second Intermediate Period. The New Kingdom
comprises dynasties 18 through 20 and dates roughly between 1550 BC
and 1070 BC. It marks the zenith of the country’s power and influence,
extending its boundaries far beyond its former borders to create a true
empire. Read on to learn more about the most popular era in Egyptian
history!.

LESSON 8
 ART OF
EMERGING
EUROPE

ANCIENT GREECE
Temple of
Olympian Zeus,
Athens

The
Temple of Olympian Zeus was dedicated to “Olympian” Zeus. It’s also
known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus. It is a
former colossal temple at the center of the Greek capital Athens. The
building of the Temple began in the 6th Century by Peisistratos but
work was stopped for unknown reasons. It was dompleted under the
reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 131 AD, 638 years after the
project had begun.

ANCIENT ROME
"Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape" (Codice Urbani), under Legislative Decree No. 42,
dated January 22, 2004,

This image reproduces a property belonging to the Italian cultural

heritage as entrusted to the Italian government. Such images are
regulated by Articles 106 et seq. of the Italian Code of Cultural Heritage
and Landscape under Legislative Decree No. 42, dated January 22,
2004, and its subsequent amendments.

MIDDLE AGES
 Illustration (detail) above: "Crusader Bible," 1240 A.D.

The Middle Ages were a critically important period for Western

Europe. The preceding “Dark Ages,” which lasted for hundreds of years
after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, had been a time of chaos
and poverty without strong central government to maintain order.
During the period, Roman roads and water distribution systems
decayed.
 RENAISSANCE ART

The Last Supper

Considered to be the best artwork by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1498,

the Last Supper is an important painting of the Renaissance period. The
image shows Jesus with his disciples for his last supper. The painting is
noted for its clever use of color, light, and anatomy. The painting is also
a subject of many discussions and conjectures. Many have proposed
that the disciple sitting to the right of Jesus is Mary Magdalene and
many have also wondered the significance or meaning of the V shape
between Jesus and the person on the right.
MANERRISM
 Jacopo da Pontormo, Entombment, 1528, Santa Felicita,
Florence : This work by Pontormo exemplifies early Mannerist paintings
—the setting is irrational, the human forms are elongated and balanced
in twisted poses, and the coloring of the work is artificial, as opposed to
naturalistic.

BARAQUE AND THE ROCOCO

 Nov 18, 2019 • By Jacqueline Lewis, BA Art History and Architecture

The Baroque movement began in Rome in the early 1600s and

spread throughout Europe by the 17th and 18th centuries. Rococo art
dominated the French art scene mainly during the early 18th century.

NEOCLASSISM
The Grand Tour

Neoclassicism was inspired by the discovery of ancient Greek and Roman

archeological sites and artifacts that became known throughout Europe in
popular illustrated reports of various travel expeditions. Scholars such as James
Stuart and Nicholas Revett made a systematic effort to catalog and record the
past in works like their Antiquities of Athens (1762). Wanting to see these works
first hand, young European aristocrats on the Grand Tour, a traditional and
educational rite of passage, traveled to Italy "in search of art, culture, and the
roots of Western civilization," as cultural critic Matt Gross wrote.

ROMANTICISM
 Philipp Otto
Runge, The
Morning, 1808

The movement emphasized intense emotion as an authentic

source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions
as fear, horror and terror, and awe — especially that experienced in
confronting the new aesthetic categories of the sublime and beauty of
nature.
 IMPRESSIONISM

Impression, Sunrise Artist: Claude Monet

Monet's Impressionism, Sunrise is sometimes cited as the work that gave

birth to the Impressionist movement, though by the time it was painted, Monet
was in fact one of a number of artists already working in the new style. Certainly,
however, it was the critic Louis Leroy's derogatory comments on the work and its
title, in a satirical review of the First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874, that gave
rise to the term "Impressionism".
 REALISM

Gustave Courbet: The Artist's Studio

Honoré Daumier: At the Palais de Justice

Giraudon/Art

Gustave Courbet was the first artist to self-consciously proclaim

and practice the realist aesthetic. After his huge canvas The Studio
(1854–55) was rejected by the Exposition Universelle of 1855, the artist
displayed it and other works under the label “Realism, G. Courbet” in a
specially constructed pavilion.
 POST - IMPRESSIONISM

Henri Rousseau, The Centenary of Independence, 1892, Getty Center,

Los Angeles

The term Post-Impressionism was first used by art critic Roger Fry
in 1906.[2][3] Critic Frank Rutter in a review of the Salon d'Automne
published in Art News, 15 October 1910, described Othon Friesz as a
"post-impressionist leader"; there was also an advert for the show The
Post-Impressionists of France.[4] Three weeks later, Roger Fry used the
term again when he organised the 1910 exhibition Manet and the Post-
Impressionists, defining it as the development of French art since
Manet.
NEO - IMPRESSIONISM
 A Sunday Afternoon on The Island Of La Grande Jatte

Some argue that Neo-Impressionism became the first true avant-

garde movement in painting.[3] The Neo-Impressionists were able to
create a movement very quickly in the 19th century, partially due to its
strong connection to anarchism, which set a pace for later artistic
manifestations

LESSON 9
COUHGT BETWEEN:
MODERN AND
CONTEMPORARY
ART

CONTEMPORARY ART
 Modern or contemporary art can come in all shapes and forms.
Nowadays, it’s not just found on canvases and sculptures but on
handbags, wallets, purses, and clothing. American artists like Keith
Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat are some examples of artists whose
works have also become fashion statements.
 NEO - POP ART

Pop art began in the mid-1950s in Britain by a group of painters,

sculptors, writers, and critics called Independent Group. It spread soon
after into the United States. Much of the movement’s roots were
prompted by a cultural revolution led by activists, thinkers, and artists
who aimed to restructure a social order ruled by conformity.
 PHOTORIALISM

Photorealism is a genre of art that encompasses painting, drawing

and other graphic media, in which an artist studies a photograph and
then attempts to reproduce the image as realistically as possible in
another medium.
 CONCEPTUALISM

Conceptual art is art for which the idea (or concept)

behind the work is more important than the finished art object.
PERFORMANCE ART
 Dance is a type of performing art practiced all over the world.

The performing arts are arts such as music, dance, and drama
which are performed for an audience.[1] It is different from visual arts,
which is when artists use paint, canvas or various materials to create
physical or static art objects.
 INSTALLATION ART

An installation art of Mad crab created with waste plastics and similar
non-biodegradable wastes at Fort Kochi.

Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional

works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the
perception of a space.
 EARTH ART

A Line Made by Walking

Artist: Richard Long

Made while Richard Long was a student in London, A Line

Made by Walking documents a work he created as he walked
back and forth across the same path in Wiltshire.
 STREET ART

Street art by C215 on a postbox in the 5th arrondissement

of Paris honoring French Resistance hero Pierre Brossolette in a
partnership with the Centre des monuments nationaux around
the Panthéon.

LESSON 10
 SOULMAKING,
APPROPRIATION,
AND
IMPROVISATION

IMPROVISATION
 Improvisation f Nature

"Improvisation of Nature" demonstrates the vibrancy of

Mother Earth's built-in color palette, enjoyed by a lone
pedestrian and her curious canine strolling down an empty,
lamp-lit pathway.

APPROPRIATION
 Appropriation art or the art of appropriation is the use of
pre-existing objects or images with little or no transformation
applied to them. It follows in the spirit of Marcel Duchamp’s
Readymades.

LESSON 11

ART IN ASIA
CHINESE ART
 Chinese art has arguably the oldest continuous tradition in
the world, and is marked by an unusual degree of continuity
within, and consciousness of, that tradition, lacking an
equivalent to the Western collapse and gradual recovery of
JAPANESE ART
 Japan has been subject to sudden invasions of new ideas
followed by long periods of minimal contact with the outside
world. Over time the Japanese developed the ability to absorb,
imitate, and finally assimilate those elements of foreign culture
that complemented their aesthetic preferences.

PHILIPPINES ART
 Spoliarium by Juan Luna, 1884, a National Cultural Treasure

Arts in the Philippines refer to all the various forms of the

arts that have developed and accumulated in the Philippines
from the beginning of civilization in the country up to the
present era.
