Background Information

Throughout all of time art has always been present, affecting the way people think and see things. Art has been around since the caveman, and they had their own type of artwork; it was called cave painting. They mostly depicted hunts and the cave people themselves. Ever since the beginning of humanity, humans have been obsessed with their own images and have wanted to create more accurate artwork. In a sense, we are very vain beings, which is why almost all of the most famous paintings and sculptors portray images of human form. Some sculptures are the Statue of Liberty and the Venus de Milo.  Two famous paintings are the Mona Lisa and the Birth of Venus. Humans are controlled by fantasy; they draw, paint, sculpt, photograph, and create an image of beauty that is virtually unattainable. Art is a way for people to express their wants and needs, which is why it will always exist and affect people’s minds.
