Chapter 11: Art and Architecture

In the article, "Chapter 11: Art and Architecture" by Walter Hazen, Hazen describes how art and architecture are linked through ancient times. Art travels back many centuries to the start of mankind. Cavemen drew pictures in their caves to show what they did that day. Some of the greatest wonders of the world started as a sketch. The Eiffle Tower, Sphinx, the Great Wall of China, and many more. Without art none of these wonders would be here today. All of these wonders had to start as something. Art is a way for us to connect with our ancestry and history. Greek art and theatre plays are still in action today. Just as everyone is unique, we all have our own unique way of expressing our creativity. Without teaching art people wouldn't be able to show off their creativity in ways that are comfortable for them, or show off their own hidden talents.
