Visual art has been an integral part of the development of human history. As early as 10,000 B.C. man has yearn to depict the world around him in a fashion to preserve his world for his ancestors as evidenced in the caves painting discovered in Lascaux, France in the 1940’s. Nearly every civilization known since that time have left us what we know about them through art.
Art is studied as one of the Humanities, the academic discipline which studies the “human condition”. Art comes in many forms from fine art to philosophy to literature to music. What is considered art is also left to interpretation from the artist himself as well as the public’s perception.
