ART AND HISTORY

WHAT IS ART?

Despite the fact that it is widely acknowledged that art is a way to express one's emotions, there is no single definition for art since it can be interpreted differently.

So before learning about the history of art in 17-18th centuries in different countries let's ask to ourselves ''Does art change over time and what is the reason for that.?''

What Is The Reason Behind The Change of Art Over Time?

As you can see the painting done in 17th century is very different from the painting done in 18th century in terms of its style to what it portraits (like its characters, topic...)

According to this example we can see that art change over time, but why?

What brings an art piece into life is its artist. Humans are beings who learn from experience. So as people experience more and more events; their opinions, personalities and their point of view to life change.

And as people change the artwork they create with the emotions they want to portrait also changes.

So we know art can change over time but can it differ in the same timeline but at different places?
