Ian Taylor ART F200X

 Australian Rock Art Rock art is one of the oldest art forms. It is estimated that there are about 100,000 significant rock art locations around the content of Australia. While all of the art cannot be specifically dated, the tools used to carve some of these art forms have been dated to 50,000 years ago. The first Humans to settle in Australia landed there approximately 65,000 years ago, and it is very possible that the oldest rock carvings date back to then. Note: these art forms are not named and all dates are estimated. Quinkan Country (location) This art peice focusees on dingoes, humans, and what are presumed to be eels. I like this drawing because of how much it reflects Australian wildlife. Dingoes are widely known from their Australian heritage, and there are over fifteen different types of eels that reside on or around the continent. What also struck out to me was the contrast.

It really brings the group of people together to focus on the center of the image. It includes people of all races in the drawing, and then adds the color spectrum. This is meant to be an inclusive peice to really dive into the racial prejudice that existes in this henious world we live in. I really like

 The Impact of WWI on Early Modern Art World War I, also known as The Great War, or The War to End all Wars, took place from 1914 until 1918. With this new age of global destruction also came a shift in art, as made sense. Art often reflects the current state of the world, or its country of origin. With this world war, many artists started depicting the gruesome acts of violence that were happening around the globe. This was in very sharp contrast compared to many of the abstract, vivid, and "happier" artworks that had started to appear with the invention of new art supplies and accessibility to the common people.  Paths of Glory 1917 CRW Nevinson Britain This painting is yet another that shows the tragedies of war. It depicts two dead British soldiers, left to decompose into the ground. They are shown laying behind a barbed wire fence, adding to the image of pain and suffering. The colors used in this work set the tone for the entire piece. The sky, grey and clouded by smoke
