Art & Culture

a.       I believe the cave artist were trying to say how much they appreciate the horses, bulls, unicorns, and other animals by drawling them all over the place.
b.      I believe there are so many animals rather than people in the painting because animals played such a huge role in their culture. Not only did they provide food and things like that but also clothing. The animals were something interesting and intriguing, I mean humans were too but these animals they drew everywhere were a different kind of species.
c.       The cave painting can tell me that the Paleolithic people were very creative and imaginative. The cave dwellers aspects of life could be seen as being adventurous, and centering their life on hunting.
d.      Some difficulties the Paleolithic people might have went through to paint these pictures was the space in which they chose to paint the pictures. In different little corners there was pictures of different animals tucked down in dark holes. Also inside these caves were bears and lions so these early humans were also putting their life at risk by going inside.
e.      Art can serve as many different purposes but to the early humans I believed they first served as just art. It was a way to decorate the cave and just make it interesting. Men were the predominant artist, so maybe they used this as a way to come together and bond as men. Another purpose the animals on the wall served as was a way to obtain protection by dangerous creators on the wall or even a way of taking on their ferociousness and skill to increase human hunting success. Another possible function this art could have served as  would be a journal, to remember the animals they have seen so they would not be forgotten over time or even severing a purpose of communication.

 

2. I believe the obvious commonality is expression.  I don’t believe that someone would dedicate that much time paintings without wanting to express their fear, happiness, excitement, or whatever emotion they are feeling at the time.  In modern day art expression through paintings serve the same purpose. Every artist has some kind emotion they would like to portray when they are painting.
3. Interior design serves as art and most of the time a functional space of living. A interior designer would be trying to communicate different elements of comfort with beauty and harmony. The place someone goes to relax and find peace is in their own home, therefore interior designers try to capture a sense of relaxation.

 
4. I believe Interior design is being artistc and creative when designing a room or area in someones house to live in. Yes there is a culture of interior design. For example, going off to college this fall, and I will be able to come together and make friends who share the same major and intrest I do, when it comes to interior design.  A feature I admire in interior design is being imaginative, creating something that has not been created before. Also dedication because almost everyone can be imaginative but actually executing ideas and making them come to life is something that not everyone has inside of them. Interior design and its culture benefits society by providing a b-e-a-uuutiful atmosphere/ living environment in a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, even hotel room, the list can go on. Interior design is also functional and can provide organization and homeostasis in a home which someone lives. For example, there was a TV show back in the day called Clean Sweep, and someone would come clean out your house and decorate it, providing a upbeat, happy, positive enviorment. There are no real detrimental effects of interior design, maybe debt by spending too much money on décor because sometimes that can get a little addictive!
