In the wood carving by Paul Revere, I immediately noticed the dramatic scene on the left being carried out by the colonists. The apparent aggressor to the victims, is the British soldiers in red, towards the right. I believe Paul solely carved this to persuade loyalists to be revolutionaries, and to fight for a governmental change. It appealed indefinitely towards neutral audiences (as well as the loyalists who were previously mentioned). Paul Revere's carving is historically inaccurate. Of…

Relief with Winged Genius (Apkallu) (Figure 1) is a Neo-Assyrian (1000-612 BCE) carved stone wall relief from the Northwest Palace in Kalhu (modern-day Nimrud), Iraq.

the pressure of society influencing people into conforming to social normality. Farther out in the carving there are a few birds splitting away from the group to symbolize the individuals trying to break free from conformity. In Metamorphosis the lone scarecrow represents every individual on their own, we then see it conforming and “morphing” into what society wants it to be. Which in the wood carving is the city. Another image that stands out to me is how both pieces have simple and very…

Today this sense of elevation and aesthetic connotation has become a fully-fledged economic and personal craving for many art lovers. After all, not many people despise a good piece of art. Seemingly, most of the collectibles were made within the context of the…

Prehistory. Literally meaning before history, the time before written records; but yet prehistory has just as many stories to tell that cannot be found in any high school textbook. These stories can be very important stories that can change how we believe humans created civilization. Standard theory suggests that humanity's progress toward civilization started in prehistory with farming. Once prehistoric humans discovered farming, they were able to settle down and get their food from farming.…

1. The title of this sculpture is The Goddess Coatlicue. She stands at eight feet, six inches, and is located in the Museo Nacional de Antropologia in Mexico City. An Aztec sculptor created her out of an igneous rock called basalt. This black or gray colored rock is fine-grained and forms from lava as small amounts shoot out of volanoes and cool quickly. This statue was originally discovered in 1790, but was immediately reburied due to its terrifying nature.…
