Week 2 Blog 2
Which do you think is a better roadmap of history artifacts of the humanities (art, music, dance, theatre, literature, philosophy, architecture, etc) or political/military conflicts? Why?
Out of these different roadmaps to history, art is the most important and informative. Art does not only describe history it gives a personal insight to history that can’t always be accomplished by these other artifacts of the humanities. Each piece of artwork tells an individual story that leads to another. Art is visual and easy to understand, while music is hard to read and possibly confusing. When something is drawn it creates a visual that allows you to see and understand the picture or painting. Art is also something you can use your senses, you can touch the artwork to feel the painting to maybe distinguish the time it was dated in, or the texture could be part of the message pertaining to the painting. Paintings are also preserved well if put in the right temperature, they can last for centuries. An example of a famous painting that tells history is the Last Supper, which was done by Leonardo DaVinci. This painting has lasted centuries with care and protection. The painting is a very valuable part of history because it shows the son of God, at the last supper in perfect correspondents to what the bible describes is happening. Art is the most resourceful artifact that tells us about all kinds of history, making it clear and easy to understand.
