5.3 Overview:  The Business of Art

It's Still Art

Even though ancient works were likely not "art for art's sake," they are art nonetheless.

For example, the Lascaux cave paintings are not stick figures. Lines are clear and show a variety in color value. The animals are vibrant. By using natural curves in the caves, some of the images even have perspective.

Ancient painting is a reminder that since the beginning of human existence, people everywhere have felt (and continue to feel) an urge to depict the world around them.
