Question:

Why is it important to study ancient art?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Hey Devin,

It is interesting to see the progression of technology at least, and the progress of technique. My first art project was long before I studied art in college. When I went to college, I saw that what I had been drawing had a name, 'Primitive'. My work is better for it, but I also appreciate other works because I see what someone needs to know. It is not until you appreciate portraits and realism that you can appreciate taking that up a notch. At least that is how I see it.
