The Kelsey Museum Augustus, First Emperor of Rome, is similar and different to many Roman art pieces. The first very obvious style that can be seen is the Augustan period approach, the Augustus of Primaporta statue from Italy, marble copy, from early first century is a great example of this approach. They both have the same exact straight hair strand placement, face shape, and youthful idealized face. Augustus uses the same style throughout all his statues and reliefs, where his forehead is very wide and longer than his chin area. Unlike the prior Republican period style, the Augustan period rejects the veristic style, which is the very extreme expression of oldness.
During the Archaic period, the Greeks started to expand their travels to the Near East and Egypt. Being exposed to the different art and styles, they took it back with them and started to use different materials for the statues. 2. In what ways do the Archaic Greek sculptures resemble the work of the Egyptians?
I chose these works of art because they had many similarities when I began to do my research. These two work of art should be compared because they have the same building structure and although they were
Minoan art frequently shows peaceful scenes of floral or marine subject matter, while the art of the Mycenaeans celebrates things such as chariots and combat. Mycenaeans wrote in the deciphered form known as Linear B, and the Minoans wrote in the still unbroken script, Linear A. Both cultures are able to developed sophisticated architecture. The two cultures are both into building palaces. The Mycenaeans were more 'playful, ' more 'daring ' in their construction techniques seeking news way to carry the load of walls & roofs, while the Minoans stayed true to techniques that worked and stuck with them. Minoans favored large open courtyards while the Mycenaeans preffered an interior great hall.
The arts reflect the society that creates them, this was very true with the ancient Greeks through their temples, sculptures, and pottery. Ancient Greek art emphasized the importance and accomplishments of human beings. An example of ancient Greek architecture is the Parthenon which is a marvel of design, featuring massive columns contrasting with subtle details (Doc:7). Greek architecture influenced many buildings that our World has today. In ancient Greece art was expressed many ways but one of them by sculptures of people, such as Myron’s famous sculpture of the Discus Thrower.
Response Paper 1 Justin Chau For my research paper, I am going to two about two types of art throughout certain time periods in history. What I am going to compare and differentiate are types of art within the Prehistoric time period, and the Roman time period. Within time periods in general, there are artworks that are relevant throughout their existing time period, and picked up later in future generations, where people can learn about their past cultures and various types of art. For the first time period, the Prehistoric period, it includes the Paleolithic culture and its art. It is divided into three parts.
Humanism also played a part in the arts, since most art was influenced by the art of the Greeks and Romans. Artists wanted to revive the techniques and styles from those cultures. You can also see the difference between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in artwork. In Leonardo Da’ Vinci’s 1490 painting The Vitruvian Man he depicts a sketch like picture of the male anatomy in motion. (Document 6)
Maya, inca, and Aztec comparison i will be writing a essay about the differences and similarities between these 3 civilizations. The Maya civilization started in southeastern Mexico and their civilization lasted about 3,000 years. While The Inca empire existed in Western South America from about 1200 to 1535 AD,The Aztec existed was from 1325 AD to 1521 AD and it was formed in Mexico.

Hands: Alot of the art had been religion related. The gods were portrayed as various kinds of animals. On top of that the drawings of gods were colorful and sharp. Alot of the art made by Aztecs were lifelike. It was said that the statues were very realistic.
Throughout time civilizations have risen and collapsed. Some were conquered while others simply disappeared. The Egyptian civilization thrived near the Nile River from 3000 B.C. and was later conquered by the Persian Empire around 525 B.C. In the other hand, the Mayan civilization developed in Yucatan Peninsula around 200 B.C., and mysterious disappeared around 900 A.D. However, these two cultures share many factors in common such as developing calendars and building pyramids. Even though civilizations developed in different time periods, they can still have many factors in common such as environment, language, and architecture.
There are many different unique types of art that can all have a unique story to tell. In Meta Warrick Fuller’s painting called Talking Skulls. This image creates a vivid image of black women struggling to make any money at all and are in the worst of all jobs. This relates to the spark of the creation of the renaissance because it showed the struggle that black women had to overcome when living in the southern and they wanted a new life. But not just women had a struggle economically, even men did too.
Civilization is the cooperation between individuals within a region. The first civilizations were Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations. Both civilizations acquired a different environment. However, their environment promoted religion, specifically polytheism. Although their environments were different, both civilizations were in harmony about the existence of many gods.

Through this essay I will be discussing the comparisons and the contrast between temples in Greek architecture and roman architecture. I will be commenting on the forms, materials, technology and the siting to compare and contrast the architecture of ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
