     “Ads are the cave paintings of the 20th century”, pretty interesting to me and it really makes sense since they both do the same thing, they Show to the masses what a single man desires to be shown. Long ago in a time far, far away man painted on walls what they remembered about their past events primarily a successful hunt for food. Now people put on advertisements by the medium of billboards and TV commercials their things or events that they are successful of, like a new kind of healthy food, new transportation or new technology. These are things that man wants to show another, it could be for pride or it could be for assisting other people showing them that they can help you do this kind of thing. Both Share the same though and that is most probably why they are placed in a quote together even though the time between them is worlds apart. Millions of years ago, why I think, the cave men made cave paintings is because they wanted to show people what they can and did do and to also remember their past glories. Although ads aren’t made to remember things, ads are used to show off achievements of people and successful attempts on making something that would benefit our world. It seems that our world is filled with pride and greed, we’ll never know the facades that hide under what every it is they show to the public. Some people say that if a corporation is successful they make advertisements to make it even more productive. That is just what people say though they would want to make more money out of it and like some rich people they only have it for themselves. With that said Ads could have supported pride and greed but we cannot say that advertisements are evil because not everyone is thinking of malicious things, there are good people but there will always be bas people without one of them there will be no balance and our world will be thrown in to chaos. In the end it all comes down to one think, what people think makes the world go round, money.

     In the Medieval times, when religion was taken seriously, getting closer to the gods was very important to the people. And so people created ways to become closer to their makers, they created songs, prayers and works of art for their gods to please them and to feel more attached to them and this brings us to how Art elicit feelings of spirituality.

     Ever since the dawn of time man has been searching for a purpose, this has leaded them to the question on how he was brought to earth. So they created beliefs and religions to be able to answer all their questions which they believed to be true. Man Created Works of art of their creators on walls in their home or in their place of worship. These Works or art reminds them of their Creators; the art work gives them a visual representation of their maker and aids them in their worship. This may also trigger one’s conscience since they are reminded of their maker’s presence. This has also made a big effect of our history. Through these artworks the foundations of religion became strong and thus the religion grew into countries. Just like Constantine when he saw the cross of Jesus, remembering his mother telling him of it helping the believers in their time of need, used the cross as a symbol of motivation and lead his soldiers in to the war with determination. Defeating an army five times bigger than theirs with the help of the holy cross Constantine has made his people Christians and has spread throughout Rome. 

     Just like all other religions, Christianity and Islam have rules given to the people by their god. The rules were made to give the people a better life, to help them avoid executing acts that will compromise their constant obedience to their revered and exalted creator. Great Artworks of the maker is destined to remind them of the gods’ power and authority over their mortal lives. Revealing power and enforcing authority will make the people more obedient and will grant peace. But power is necessary because “so long as there will be man there will be war”. With the gods showing us the extents of their supremacy, there are doings of man that gods can forgive yet man cannot accept. Through this they have created a just law that the people will follow and a devoted order that will enforce the law. This law was made to cover all things that the laws of the god doesn’t have and the traditions that the country wish to keep for the rest of their lives traditions that define the very land they live in.

     In the end, no matter what people do, man is bound to create a government to enforce the law, keep traditions and remember sacred traditions. Man is destined to make organizations that will restore peace or manipulate the minds of many, but those who lives now is doing all that they can to restore order. With the help of religion it is up to the next generation to take care of themselves.

Ever since man has started to become smart enough to form groups and packs to live and survive more efficiently the feeling of pride is unavoidable and memories unforgettable. Remembering their past victories in hunting they paint it in walls of caves which is their home thus the birth of Art.

Exactly how does art reflect man’s desire to explain the world around him? Well one thing’s for sure, art is one of the reasons why we have progressed to what we are now. The animals and plants the cavemen have killed and harvested were painted on to walls so they will not forget it. Soon enough man became curious of how he was brought to earth, so they created beliefs and religions to be able to answer all their questions which they believed to be true. Man Created art works of their creators on walls of their home or place of worship, just as the ancient Egyptians were. Art is what man wants to reveal to the people. It is the artist’s emotions and it is how the artist perceives the world around him. Art reflects man’s desire to explain the world by revealing knowledge that the artist possess that the artist doesn’t want to expose to the public. Simply by making an angry man draw something, the drawing when he was happy is surprisingly different from when he was happy. Art can show us the hidden truth in us and the world around us.

Every year new inventions and innovations arise and every day we accelerate towards a brighter future, but art has always been a big part in the evolution of man. Art has brought us a prosperous civilization by strengthening our religion and reminding us of how we used to be and how to want to be. Man has been the superior being amongst the animals because of our great intellect but a hidden potential lies within us that each and every one of us has yet to discover, our strength which will lead us to our destiny. Art Has its ways of manipulating the man’s brain, just like the media today some art makes the mind think the way the art wants it to think. When a man creates an artwork usually he unconsciously adds small hits of his emotions while he is making them. There for man may think of something this way yet others may think of it differently. Images of War and Dispute may show man’s ignorance and greed and yet images like Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci reveal the Great Potential of human beings. In the times of Ancient Egypt, the people believed that the pharaoh was a man that is destined to become a god. With this they believed that when born they have a chance to live an immortal life. The Afterlife is believed in Egyptian, catholic and in almost all religions. The people believe that they have a better purpose in life and is determined to be much more than who they are now. Man has the potential to evolve in to something that exists only in our wildest imagination.

Art has helped us Evolve from mere animals living in caves into meisters of art creating gleaming metropolises. Without it we could have been nothing but wild animals.
