Eras go by and civilization grows into society, everything changes from music to clothes, but especially art. in the very begining, cave art was where it started. there was no canvas or paint but charcoal and dirt, they would etch stich figures into the walls of caves and animals they had killed, almost like keeping data through symbols. this lasted from 15,000 b.c. to 1000 b.c.
greacian urns, clay had become very popular once found and acropolis grecian urns sprouted in 400 B.C. On these pots and vases were images of warfare and mythilogical legends. stories were plastered on to the grecian urns, which became very popular around that time.
Early renaissance, many artist were famous around that time but probably the most famous was Leonardo Da Vinci. some of his most famous paintings were the last supper and Mona Lisa. Many people think that Mona Lisa is actually a self-portrait of Leonardo! X-rays of the painting and close comparison with drawings of Leonardo suggest that this may actually be true. this was around the time when canvas and perspective was around to getting used to.
And finally modern. less and less artists became famous for their artwork was becoming too much alike. Andy Warhol, who used optical art and pop art, such as the Marilyn Monroe painting. Optical Art is a mathematically-themed form of Abstract art, which uses repetition of simple forms and colors to create vibrating effects, foreground-background confusion, an exaggerated sense of depth, and other visual effects. In a sense, all painting is based on tricks of visual perception: manipulating rules of perspective to give the illusion of three-dimensional space, mixing colors to create the impression of light and shadow, and so on. With Optical Art, the rules that the viewer's eye uses to try to make sense of a visual image are themselves the "subject" of the artwork.
