This article was a lot easier to read and understand than the last one! Whooa! I enjoyed reading it and learning more about what an art historian does. What kept my attention was the section about style. I thought it was interesting that a someone can tell what time period a painting/artwork was created in just by looking at what techniques the artist was doing. Pretty amazing! Also how each artist has his or her own style, It was a good article and it kept my attention.
Well painting and drawing used to be used to keep records of people, events and objects or inventions. There were no cameras that could keep track of what was going on. This meant that the images were supposed to be pretty accurate. Over time when the painting/drawing etc evolved people wanted to buy pieces and keep them as their own or give them away as gifts. I think this made "art" as it attached more personal and emotional values to the pieces. I think there will always be art, but today it is more likely for decor and viewing purposes rather than to record history.
Art makes you use your imagination, and it makes you want to discover the deeper meaning it has. It also gives people something to think about.
Art tells a story. It could be by looking at the style of the artwork, it could be artwork that represents historical events or it could even be an emotion or event that happened to the artist himself.
i also think art tells a story. but really, art can do anything. it can prove a point, make an argument, cause controversy and tons upon tons of other things. i think that what art does depends on who you ask.
