Asian Art =^.^=

I LOVE ASIAN ART XD....

Well i find it so interesting that both Japanese and Chinese art focus so much on finding their center before painting. How they meditate for long periods of time before they start there paintings to capture the true beauty of the picture. Majority of asain art based around nature tranquel seens that help you meditate and become calm.

As for modern Japanese art i love anime and manga. If japan never started creating their own style of art when ties between China and Japan were made my favorate past time reading managas and watching anime would never have been created.

Greek Art ^^

Greek art was my favorite section that we have covered. Mythology is so cool to read, even though the stories are crazy but keep you interested. The stories were made to explain things that happened that the greeks couldn't make answers for like, what happened arfter death hw did the sun rise and set. They made gods to controls these and keep law and order also causing fear for those that do evil deeds.

Thunderstorm in at class

The sky is a stretch of dark gray. The exception is the strikes of light the slice through the clouds and stab the earth. A scar in the stays present for a few seconds as it vanishes leaving no trace that it happened. Trembles are felt as the earth screams shaking the winds and the block building causing alarms to go off. All is gray a depressing yet calming sight except for that one beautiful tree standing strong in the raging winds letting it's green leaves dance in the wind.

EGYPTIAN ART

I LOVE EGYPTIAN ART XD....i think it's amazing how in times were there weren't any machines to help people create such wonderful works of art. The great pyramid the sphinx it's mind blowing. In this era it would be hard imagine it thousands of years ago now that sound crazy. Also the detail in the art work the Egyptians put in to making hieroglyphics and the carving and painting on sarcophagus and the beautiful thought on how after life will be. The gods that govern over everything in the world such as the sun, Nile, etc... They lived there lives in these beliefs were if you lived your life right you will have everything you need in the after life, so death wasn't a scary thought at all.

Prehistoric art

It's interesting that back in primitive times were survival was top priority that art in cave painting back a big part of there culture. Using these pictures as either good luck charms on the hunt or as ways to teach future generations on how to either hunt them down or common animals that were good to hunt.
