Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

 

Back in the day art was very different from now, what might be an art  us now in which we categorized with paintings mostly before was shown in statues and big sacred monuments before the whole consistence of the word art was just so magnificent it was incredible. Many years before art started as a symbol of loyalty and beliefs ,the pharaoh was the main leader of the community ,he had the power over everything  and  the way he stated his art was  by making many of his  people  create a statue of him as a way of honor and respect to him letting everyone know he was the king , this statues of him  lasted many years to be built and it took a lot of work from all the men  ,after the statue  others forms of art were being created  such as monuments as the Pyramids of Egypt which we still have today and let us admire the art form before .

Today’s artist are more into the visual arts and painting compare to before when all forms of art were shown with some type of rock or statue , back in the times over (2000 years ago ) all that was mostly done was  statues and monuments ,instead now we have wall art  or painting we don’t use the same method we used before and if we do we don’t do it was often as before  . Monuments with such value are today remembered due to the great stories that are behind  and all the different aspect of art it  teach us  , it show  how has art developed throughout the years  and how have  those beautiful statues impacted many artist in the world inspiring them with their painting .  It’s very important to remember those times those times show how we as a society have grew and changed art to a whole different level.

One interesting video called the seven wonders of the  ancient word by : (you tube ) explain how many monuments such as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus; the Statue of Zeus at Olympia; the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; the Colossus of Rhodes; and the Pharos of Alexandria where built by many different leaders leading us to now experience and learn from it, how these monuments and statues were made and all the time and effort it took so that today we can still have it and admire the beauty of these arts.
