A. REVIEW
Going back to our previous lessons, what are the types of arts?
B. DISCUSSION
Today’s lesson is about Asian art or the Ancient near Eastern art and Islamic Art.
Ancient Near Eastern Art, from 4000 B.C.E to about 500 C.E., consists mostly of
artifacts that have been excavated in the regions of Mesopotamia, Assyria, Sumer,
Anatolia, and the islands of Crete and Cyprus. Artifacts consisted of figurines,
pottery, jewelry and other decorative objects that represented wealth, power, and
social status. The pieces we have found particularly interesting are; a diorite statue of
a king and an ivory one of a tribute bearer, a silver and gold vessel, a gilt silver dish
and gold jewelry crafted by the Phoenicians, basalt carvings by the Hittites, a statue
of a worshiper, cylinder seal, and headdress all from the Sumerian culture.
The artist in this region mimicked the Egyptians in their style and as a people.
But they were more interesting because they used symbols and specific animals to
create a way of describing what they experienced from their surroundings; whether it
was in people or animals themselves. These images and scenes were done in a relief
process where the figures are projecting out from the stone in which they are carved
casting shadows and creating dimension.
Certain art pieces were meant to communicate to others a person’s overall power
or specific role within the city. The statues that were found were representation of
many different culture groups in this area. All these different groups took part in and
passed on various traditions of creating these art forms.
Much of what we consider art today was inscribed in steles upon the walls of
temples, tombs, and palaces. Early forms of writing also come from this time
period. Cuneiform is found on steles and tablets communicating laws and business
conduct of this region. The architecture of temples, tombs, and palaces was itself an
expressive form of art.
