Best of Today: Evolution of Art

Art has had a very profund effect on society. Art has been evolving since the the first humans roamed the planet. At first, art was illustrated through primitive cave carvings and painting. Afterwards, the Chinese evolved these cave paintings into caligraphy which is the art of writing letters. At about the same time, the Egyptians and other Middle Eastern countries began painting their own pictures, these paintings were called hieroglyphics. With that in mind, art has evolved with the times. Now-a-days modern art has transformed from primitive cave drawings to comlex paintings and drawings that have intricate concepts and philosophies such as cubism, and other abstract forms of art. The evolution of art is a lot more significant that it seems. Since art reflects the genereations before and after us, it serves as a visual histroy book of our ancestors and what life was like hundreds of years ago. All in all, art should be taken a lot more seriously since it is virtually a reflection of our past.
