Art Over The Years

Art is important to our history, it can tell us stories and sometimes what I was like back then. We have art from 40,000 BC to now. It also shows how we have developed over time.

What does the future hold?

What do you think art would be in 20 years? Maybe more realistic or more abstracted, it could be out of everyday supplies like school supplies. There is so much people can do with art.

But will it ever disappear? Like would everyone just stop doing art in general? That can be hard to explain because everyone has the ability to do other things. But over our history art hasn’t disappeared. But if art didn’t exist what would your life be like? Some people think art is just with pencils and paper. But it reaches from drawing to acting and many more things. So everything would be simple because art is basically everything.     

https://momus.ca/what-will-art-look-like-in-100-years-sixteen-contemporary-artists-predict-the-future/ On this website someone states what art would be in 100 years . The words this person wrote makes sense because you can make anything with art . And if you look all around you anything can be a painting or a drawing. And dance like the hula can make stories about the land. 

But why do we do this, because we people and animals see things as beautiful or fantastic. And it gives us feeling because if everything was black and white What would be here now there wouldn’t be dance paintings wallpapers for your phone nothing everything would be blank.

What was art back then?

  Art where did it start? Well it started seven thousand years ago with cave paintings. They were realistic paintings of animals like bulls and more. When art started it kept growing going to the rest of the world. We think that it started in Africa and then it started moving all over.

   Then over the years we got better at realism And started creating other art styles/types. But art was used to tell stories like today it could tell a feeling or about a person’s life. And over these Thousands of years, we still are finding parts of our history. And also other animals and just history overall. As we started moving forward with art we make wonderful pieces today also back then. And as we go on, maybe we can learn more about art back then.

Art overall

  Overall art is amazing and there are different types of art and we are getting better and more creative with it. When humans existed we started making art and making ways to talk to each other.

            As we make art and we practice and don’t give up. We can give our gift to the world and you don’t need to be ashamed of it. And everyone can enjoy it.

     Because art is more of an idea because it comes from your brain. And you can create something no one has and get more ideas by looking at other artists. You can make something of your own and feel proud.

         Over these many years, humans will always create something that amazes everyone. For generations and generations, Art will be different but still the same as thousands of years ago. Now back to the first question: what does the future hold? Well, we will have to see because we have gotten this far with art it would just continue. And keep evolving forever on.
