Why was agriculture and farming such a central element of art?
The Discussion Questions-The ancient cultures that survived, flourished, and left us their art depended on a solid base of agriculture. Why was agriculture and farming such a central element of art?How could a hunting culture that was always on the move, looking for food, create art?The Teachers Side Instructions-I would like you to answer the given discussion question by thinking about the differences between artifacts created in a nomadic society versus the artifacts created in a permanent society. Permanent in this case means that the people no longer needed to search for food to survive. They had learned to farm and could stay put in one place.You might look at modern-day nomadic people. What art and artifacts do they make, versus those of us that live in one place most of the time?
