Cave painting is where it began some 32,00 years ago. We do not know the purpose of these paintings. Looks like human kind has an innate desire of expression. We started off crude and got smarter over thousands of years. Primitive techniques include spitting or blowing pigments onto the rocks.
There is Eastern painting and Western painting. Eastern seems to have been around longer than western but later as travel increased each influenced the other.
Eastern Painting - Chinese, Japanese, Korean
- Water-based
- Less realism
- Elegant & Stylized objects
- Preference for landscape over human subjects
- Importance of white space/negative space
- Ink & Color on silk or paper, gold on lacquer were common.
Art is very much inspired by and a reflection of the ideology.
