Question 3, Test 1

From these ancient great pieces of art one can gain a lot. Most cave paintings were very good at achieving the most basic form of a creature and the style and line work is beautiful. They overlap and even manage to capture motion in their simplistic line drawings. I would like to learn how to be able to capture such motion so simply as it would help my future as an animator and in storyboarding. The many recreations of gods and of myths greatly inspires me as well as they are portrayed fantastically with great strength and stories to go along with them. Contemporary artists due draw influence from these pieces as constant recreations are made of ancient art. The fantastic architecture still inspires great movies and stories to be made as to what happened at those places. People taking great Egyptian and Greek myths and retelling them through movies and plays. From looking at these ancient pieces and the start of painting and sculpture one can see how these art forms have become what they are today. The advancement from simple line drawing, to painted in carvings, and the change from simple stone statues to the Giant Sphinx. I find that some pieces from this time are almost more skillfully built than some built now even with all our advancements in technology. As this is the case, we still have lots that we can learn and be influenced by from these ancient pieces of art. The ability to capture a more simple refined beauty.
