Artful Definitions of the Minoan Society
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp). When we try to investigate the Minoan society we are immediately hampered by the lack of physical evidence. Being a costal area leads to erosion and decay just because of climate. We have some fragmentary knowledge about Minoan people, but that must be gleaned from artifacts, since little remains of written documents. Yet, it this case visual art gives us the message that the Minoans as a society were much more advanced than others of their time. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Chinese Art - Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper examines three various historic pieces of Chinese art from LACMA. Many of the fundamental differences between Chinese secular art and the traditional modern art of the West are based on differences between the philosophies of nature and human nature held by the two cultures. For the Chinese, human beings are not dominant I nature; they are part of it, responding like all living creatures to its rhythms. To be happy is to live in accord with nature; to be an artist is to be the instrument through which nature reveals itself.
