Art History Part I


Picture


​Paleolithic Age



​In  the Old StoneAge

You had no fun

Searched for food

Till the day was done.
 
​Magic was used

To help our fears. 

And we made stone tools

Like scrapers and spears.



Mesopotamia

Picture





​In Mesopotamia , they lived off the land.

Built their city, hand helping hand.

First laws, first writing, so very very old.

Even some art is made from gold.

Between two rivers it all began
​
The first civilization of ancient man.



Ancient Egypt

​
Picture


​The Pharaoh ruled a long time ago.

In Ancient Egypt as a god you know.

In a pyramid their bodies did rest.

As they journey to become, 
​
Osiris in the West.

Picture
Aristotle

Aristotle was a real smart Greek.

Today he'd be called a logic geek.

He said....." use common sense" 

And you will see,

A changing universe..... 

Continually.

​Ancient Greece


Ancient Greece unlocked many a key

​For government, science and philosophy.

We use their ideas even today.

Their classic concepts we still say.

​Perfection in art and temples made

​Stories and myths in them displayed.



Famous Greek Philosophers
​


Socrates

Look into ourselves and how we act

Questions and answers

Got Socrates sacked.

"Virtue is it's own reward", he said,

As he drank the Hemlock

Then laid on his bed.



Plato

Plato founded the Academy,

Presented work on reality.

I know I am here, because I can feel,

But he says ONLY

Ideas

Are really, real.




Picture

Ancient Rome


The Roman empire traveled a lot,

Conquering people and lands

In many battles they fought.

They build roads, too far out places

And there put, military bases.

Over 200 years a Caesar did rule

Some were kind and some were cruel.


Picture
Middle Ages
​

There is a time call the middle ages

And the history book shows many pages.

King and Barons and Knights abound

Fighting the bad guy with a frown.

People gave taxes to harvest the land

And in turn, receive a protecting hand.
