greek art2 The first scholars that existed named the whole period of human devolvement the “Stone Age.” The stone age is divided into three periods which are Paleolithic which means the old Greek age, Mesolithic and Neolithic which is the new Greek age. The Paleolithic and Neolithic stone ages have many great differences and has changed greatly between the two periods. The Paleolithic is divided into three phases which are Lower, Middle, and Upper. The upper stone age began about 42,000-37,000 years ago and has continued up until the ice age ended. Their ways of forms of communication are much different of the way we communicate now. Their forms of communication is visual arts which consists of sculpture, architecture, painting and other arts we just haven't figured out. Animals and the women in the nude were very popular form of art in the upper phase. They also believe because of the many women figures during that period that women dominated during this time. Their forms of shelter were by living in the mouth of a cave or building a hut or tent next to a protective cliff. Building these structures weren't quiet easy. The huts were made of light branches or hides that accommodated about 6 people. Most of the activities were inside the fire pit, where food and tools were prepared, making clothing, sleeping and working on stone was also taking place there. Most of their art work was made of cave work and cave painting. As you can see the technology was introduced into the Neolithic age. The ending of the ice age brought about a new stone age the Neolithic stone age. Technology has changed everything greatly since the Paleolithic age which include transportation, medicine, and communication. The changing of climate, becoming warmer has brought the ice age to an end. The world started to form going through many changes, the temperature changing, ocean levels rising which was starting to form islands. Living has improved greatly, people having boats for fishing and hunting, bow and arrow which was easier to kill for food. The change of environment has made a big impact on the way people live. People became farmers, living in villages and making enough food to survive for themselves. The farmers learned how to cultivate their plants and handle their animals much better. There forms of living was much different to they could accommodate up to 45-50 people which provided large amounts of storage for food. Walls were made of mud or clay and ceilings were made with plant such as straw or reed. The beds and seating was made from stone. Their houses were located near rivers, plateaus, or in swamps. Their art has improved instead of cave paintings and cave work now they use clay, ceramics and pottery. These two periods have many differences and over the years technology has improved and made a very big impact on the lives of people today. The period between these two stone ages have seen the forms of art, images and the changes of people e and animals in their everyday activities. Bibliography:
