The stories of artistic and historical contexts will help us better understand our culture and society as active life long-learners in 21st century. Art is an important glimpse into history because it is often one of the few things to survive. It can tell us stories, relate moods and beliefs of the era, and allow us to relate to the people who came before us. Let’s explore art, from Ancient to Contemporary, and see how it influences the future and delivers the past.
