An Essay by Bill Hemminger The question that initiates this program is a broad one: Why study ancient cultures? You might feel that the question is moot: students do study and will study ancient cultures; such study is an expected part of a tradition of intellectual development. The response to the why of the initial question is a matter of tradition, if not fact. A study of the ROMAN EMPIRE , a reading of Greek philosophy and literature, a look at the PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT -- these are all accepted parts of a Western education, aren't they? Probably so: even today, in the plurality of approaches to the study of history and to the study of cultures, people talk about PLATO or DANTE or Krishna or Read More Go to Site FOCUS on ANATOLIA Votes:0 GLASS THROUGHOUT HISTORY S ince the early ages of ancient civilizations, glass as a material has had an important place in human life.

Greek artists used narratives, or stories, and made many portraits and other representational subjects. Greek architecture is famous for its temples. These temples were often only big enough to house a cult statue and were not meant to be places for large gatherings of people. A typical Greek temple had a long, inner chamber surrounded by columns. There were three main types of columns: the simple Doric, the graceful Ionic and the ornate Corinthian. Greek sculpture portrayed gods and goddesses as well as mortal humans. Over the centuries, Greek artists became better at showing their subjects in more active poses, and more lifelike as well. Most of what we know of Greek painting comes from the work we hav Read More Go to Site Sanford & A Lifetime of Color: Study Art Votes:0 Glossary Term: Roman The Romans adopted much from Greek architecture, but they created their own style as well. The Romans created new types of structures, such as public baths and amphitheaters. Romans also developed two things that let them build larger structures than the Greeks had: the arch and the aqueduct. The arch eliminated the need for columns to support heavy roofs. Using arches, the Romans could build huge buildings (such as the Pantheon ), long bridges, and long aqueducts that carried water to Roman cities. The Romans also invented concrete, a strong and cheap building material for their arches, walls and vaults. Roman painting and sculpture also borrowed from the Greeks. Greek art portrayed lifelike, though idealized, human subjects. Roman sculptures created works that reflec Read More Go to Site Table of Contents Votes:0 TITLE PAGE FOREWORD Richard Warch PREFACE Carol L. Lawton ESSAYS The Production of Ancient Coins Jere M.

The year is 17,000 AD and the dusty photographs which have just seen the light of day depict everyday life as we know it, in the year 2000: a microwave oven, a refrigerator, a ball point pen.
