    Greek Classical Art Analysis

    Around the times that Athens defeated the Persian Empire and was declared as the strongest Greek city, Classical art was at its peak (480-323 BC). Out of all the Greek cities, Athens was the city that was advanced in politics, economics, and culture. During the period of time that the Athenians were dominating Greece, the classical art style emerged. The philosophical context of classical art is that the Greeks wanted to make sculptures of the perfect bodies so they studied bodies until they did it. The Greeks were able to learn how the body is shaped and then transfer it over onto a medium, where tons of practice resulted in classical art (perfect proportions). The classical style is often depicted with realistic bodies in a natural body shape.…

    Monotheistic Religion

    Religion is observed everywhere, and in early empires, it was generally seen as a way to explain the unknown. In the Roman empire, they believed that gods controlled certain things such as the sea, sky, and other important aspects of life (Penza-Clyve). These polytheistic beliefs that came from Rome are no longer worshipped today. There are however, religions that have continued since the Ancient empires. It can be seen that in many empires, the worshipping of multiple gods gradually moves toward monotheism as the empire strengthens. Monotheism has appeared in various religions and cultures for thousands of years before its development in modern-day monotheistic religions.…

    Egyptian Art and Religious Influences

    Polytheism is the belief of more than one god. Ancient Egyptians were polytheistic. Egyptian gods influenced the lives of those who lived in Ancient Egypt in all aspects of life especially in the aspect of harvesting. Egyptian gods took both human and animal form and sometimes a combination of the two. Some gods were local gods only, and some were national. Different gods played different roles in Egyptian society, for example, the god Bes was a helper of women when they were in labor, and the goddess Hathor was the protector of the royal palace. Over time foreign gods were also accepted into Egyptian religion. They incorporated other deities in combination of their own gods or as a single god. There are various art forms that characterize royal high priests and royals paying tribute to many different gods as well as being presented unto them (Adams, 2011).…
