INTRODUCTION
In this module you will learn that:
Even before humans learned to read and write they were already artists as
manifested by the different archeological discoveries from the different parts
of the world.
Each and every civilization of the world has its distinct art forms depending
on its aesthetic and utilitarian needs.
Pre-historic art is classified into three periods such as; Paleolithic (Old Stone
Age), Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age), and Neolithic (New Stone Age) Eras.
Egyptian Civilization was one of the early civilizations that have greatly
contributed in the development of art, religion, science, and technology of the
world. Egyptian art is primarily religious in nature.
Ancient Greek art depicts naturalism. They portray human forms in a realistic and anatomically correct manner. Their art has a conservative form with a
very complex detail.
Roman art developed as a new source of artistic creativity much more progressive than the conservative Greek art. The diversity of its form and its variety
inspired the modern attitude in art.
Byzantine art was purposely made to glorify the Christian religion and to
express its mystery. It is filled with spiritual symbolism, illustrates a love of
splendor. It was a combination of Eastern (decorative art forms) and classical
Western art (naturalistic art).
Romanesque art was characterized by its very vigorous style in painting and
sculpture, lavishly decorated manuscripts, and retained many basic features of
Roman architectural styles. It was also greatly influenced by Byzantine art with
a highly innovative and coherent style.
The basic characteristics of Gothic art styles reinforce symbolic meanings. The
church symbolizes the transcendence of the soul, and the underlying philosophy
is to create buildings of height and light.
Different eras, different styles, characteristics, and functions of the arts
occurred but all of those contributed in the development and establishing the
importance of arts in our lives today.
138

WHAT TO KNOW
In this lesson, you will learn about the different characteristics, functions, and
types of art forms (painting, sculpture, architecture) from Pre-Historic (including ancient Egyptian art forms), Classical (Greek and Roman), to Medieval era
(Baroque and Romanesque art forms). Try to analyze each art form and discover
how they develop in every period.
PRE-HISTORIC ERA
Pre-historic includes all human existence before the emergence of writing.
Their art is of interest not only to the art historians but also to archeologist and
anthropologist, for whom the art is only one clue along with fossils, pollens,
and other finds to an understanding of early human life and culture.
141
Cave of Lascaux, 1
5000-10000 B.C. Stone Age Image from
Treasures of the World, 1961 CCP Library
The dominant features in the painting were large animals native in the region.
It was discovered on September 12, 1940 and given statutory historic monument
protection. The painting has nearly 2,000 figures composed mainly of animals,
human figures, and abstract design. Some sections have been identified inside
the cave such as: The Great Hall of the Bulls, The Lateral Passage, The Shaft
of the Dead man, The Chamber of Engravings, The Painted Gallery, and the
Chamber of Felines.
142
The paintings of the walls on the tomb show events of the life of the king while
he was still on earth and the scenes he expects to encounter in the underworld
after his death.

144
Vase painting
Kerch Style also referred to as Kerch Vases are red, figured pottery named after
the place where it was found.
Shapes commonly found are:
1.
2. lekanis (a low bowl with two horizontal handles and a low broad
foot)
3.
lebes gamikos (with high handles and lid use to carry bridal bath)
4.
Most common motifs were mostly scenes from the life of women (often exaggerately
idyllic), mythological beings that were popular among the people of the black sea,
or a scene from a mythical story or event. It used a technique called polycromy, a
combination of different colors especially the brilliant ones in an artistic manner.
145
Panel Painting
They are paintings on flat panels of wood. It can be either a small, single-pieced or
several panels joined together. Most of the panel paintings no longer exist because
of their organic composition.
The earliest known panel painting is the:
Pitsa Panel
(Archaic Period between 540 and 530 B.C.E.)
(Image from Treasures of the World, 1961 CCP Library)
146
In tomb paintings, artists rely on the shade and hues of paint to create depth
and life-like feeling.
147
Mosaic
It is an art process where an image is created using an assemblage of small pieces
of colored glass, stones, or other materials.
This technique is used for decorative art or interior decorations.
The full image is a Roman floor mosaic in the House of Fun Pompei, dated
100 B.C. The whole mosaic depicts the
battle between the armies of Alexander
the Great and Darius III of Persia.

Byzantine Painting
The lively styles of paintings which had been invented in Greek and Rome lived on in
Byzantium but this time for Christian subjects.
By the 11th century, the
Greek and Oriental styles seem
to blend together in magnificent,
imposing images, which adorned
the churches in large and small
forms.
149
Romanesque Painting
These are largely placed mosaics on the walls of the churches that follow a strict frontal
pose.
It has a remarkable variety of artistic traditions
such as modeling and treatment of faces and
draperies that follow Byzantine convention while
the refreshingly decorative feeling comes from
southern French styles. It also shows traces of
Mozarabic influence (Arabize influence) through
elongated oval faces, large staring eyes and long
noses, figures against flat colored bands and
heavy outlining.

Functions
Pre-Historic Sculptures
Materials used in sculptures vary according to region and locality. Archeologists believed
that their sculpture is a result of natural erosion and not of human artistry.
Frequently carving may have mythological or religious significance.
Venus of Willendorf
28,000 B.C.E. 25,000 B.C.E
Image from Treasures of the World, 1961 CCP Library
It is carved from limestone with excessively heavy breast and abdomen used as charm to ensure fertility.

A sculpture of a lady with the hood. It is a fragmentary ivory figurine
from the Upper Paleolithic era that realistically represents the
human face and hairstyle
153
The most common materials used for sculptures are wood, ivory, and stones.
154
155
Roman Sculptures
Most Roman sculptures are made of monumental terra-cotta. They did not attempt to compete with the free standing Greek works of history or mythology
but rather they produced reliefs in the Great Roman triumphal columns with
continuous narrative reliefs around.
156
ByzantineSculptures
The dominant themes in Byzantine sculptures are religious, everyday life scenes, and
motifs from nature.
Animals were used as symbols (dove, deer, peafowl) while some had acrostic signs
(form of writing in which a message is formed by taking the first letter, syllable, or
word of different lines and putting them together) that contained a great theological
significance.
157
Romanesque Sculptures
Some of the famous sculptural pieces are reliquaries, altar frontals, crucifixes, and devotional images. Small individual works of art were generally made of costly materials
for royal and aristocratic patrons. These lightweight devotional images were usually
carried during processions both inside and outside the churches.

arch or pediment) of the west portal, Cathedral
of Saint-Lazare, Autun Burgundy France, c. 112035 by Gislebertus

Library
Gothic Sculptures
Gothic sculptures have a greater freedom of style. They no longer lay closely against the
wall, but begun to project outward. Figures were given their own particular attitudes
instead of being set into particular patterns and are more lively and realistic.
158
Choose two sculptures from the different era. Compare and contrast the two using
the following indicators:
1. Name of Sculpture
3. Materials used
159
3. Cromlech: a Brythonic word where crom means "bent" or "curved" and llech
which means "slab" or "flagstones". Literally it is a circle of standing stones.
Stonehenge: best preserved
megalithic site in Europe, a group
of stones arranged in concentric
circles, with a large external circle
of triliths (Greek word meaning
"three stones"), two internal circles
built in a similar manner and altarshaped stone in the center. It is a

temple where rituals were held. The
uploads/2013/07/Stonehenge2.jpg
structure and the movement of the
sun in the sky have a connection in
terms of identifying the change of the seasons which helped the primitive
man on their rituals and on their agricultural practices.
160
Egyptian Architecture
This architectural style was developed during the pre-dynastic period 4,000BC.
Pyramids of Giza
Are the most substantial ancient structures of the world. The three pyramids are
the funerary structures of the three kings of the fourth dynasty (2575 to 2465
BC) namely:
Khufu (Cheops) whom the
Great Pyramid was attributed
to; Khafa (Chepren)whom
the pyramid next to the Great
Pyramid is attributed; and
the smallest is attributed to
Menkaura (Mycerinus).
These pyramids were made highly confusing and with many tunnels to create
confusion for grave robbers.
161
Egyptian Temples were built to serve as places of residence for the gods. They also
served as key centers for economic activity. Ancient temples were made of perishable
materials like wood, reed matting, and mud brick. Their walls were covered with
scenes that were carved onto the stone then brightly painted. Pharaoh fighting in
the battles and performing rituals with the gods were the scenes found on the walls.
Mastaba
It is a type of Egyptian tomb in the form of a flat-roofed, rectangular structure
with outward sloping sides. It was made of mud-bricks or stones.
162
Greek Architecture
Temples consisted of a central shrine or room in an aisle surrounded by rows of columns.
These buildings were designed in one of three architectural style or orders:
DORIC
IONIC
CORINTHIAN
The Parthenon
447-432 BC, Athens
The Greatest Classical temple, ingeniously engineered to correct an optical illusion. The columns were slightly contorted, swollen at the center and leaning
inward to correct what would otherwise have been an impression of deadness
and top heaviness.
163
Roman Architecture
They built sturdy stone structures both for use and to perpetuate their glory.
The emperors erected huge halls and arenas for public games, baths, and procession.
They built them of gigantic arches of stone, bricks and concrete, or with barrel vaults.
The Colosseum
AD 70-82, Rome
http://www.colosseum.net/images/colosseumentrance.jpg
Byzantine Architecture
It has a lot in common with the early Christian architecture. Mosaic decoration was
perfected by the Byzantines, as was the use of clerestory to bring light in from high
windows. Byzantines advancement in developing the dome created a new style in
global architecture.
Hagia Sophia
Istanbul, 537 BC
Picture courtesy of planetearth 1293 blog
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/
Hagia Sophia means Holy Wisdom. It narrates how a magnificent construction transformed from being a church, into a mosque and what is now known as the Hagia
Sophia museum. One of the biggest domes ever created with 108 feet in diameter.
Because of its grand size it can be seen from miles away.
164
Romanesque Architecture
The doorways of Romanesques churches are often grand sculptured portals. Wood
or metal doors are surrounded by elaborate stone sculptures arranged in zones to fit
architectural elements.
Gothic Architecture
This design included two new devices: pointed arch which enabled builders to construct much higher ceiling vaults and stone vaulting borne on a network of stone ribs
supported by piers and clustered pillars.
Cathedral of Chartres
Also known as the Notre Dame Cathedral
(1145-1260)

SUMMARY
Prehistoric art is not easy to understand. These artworks are clues for archeologists
in understanding the Stone Age civilization. Archeologists are given a peek into
the minds of the primitive people through their art works and find out what they
have experienced to produce those pictures.
The characteristics of Egyptian art are a combination of geometric regularity
and keen observation of nature. Their art were classified into three: first art
used in the homefurniture, jewelry, musical instruments, and many more;
second, art used in the dead tombs, masks mummy cases, and wrapping for the
body; third, art was created for the gods and their priest and kingsin temples,
paintings, statues.
Greek art style was a taste of Western realism or naturalism. Artists have
studied anatomy, physics and optics, as well as techniques of carving, painting,
building, gold-working, and ceramics.
Roman artists tried to reproduce the world around them as realistically as
they could. Their architecture was designed to reflect the power of the city and
to create in all people an awe of its imperial power. Roman art is a reflection of
mixture of borrowed cultures fused together with local traditions to form their
own styles and traditions.
Byzantine art was the meeting place for the Greek and oriental culture.
Romanesque style first evolved in the first third of the 12th century. It is a
complete realization of religious and social functions and had an architectural
program with a wealth of sculptural decoration subordination to the architectural frame.
