Document Summary
Covers multiple millennia and different cultures, politics, values. Connected by shared culture of people living in geographic regions of produced art, such as mediterranean sea, italy, turkey, black sea. Shared: language, religion, mental outlook- information compiled to create a rational system, naturalistic forms. Centered on idealized universal human figures and experiences and proportional, ordered systems. Not made as art , but made to: honor the gods, honor the dead, display civic pride and achievement. Not accurately representing daily life, but instead social constructs surrounding it.
