What is the importance of art during early civilization?

The art of the ancient world reveals a tremendous amount to modern historians about

the culture, values and beliefs of these early civilizations. At a time when few people
could read and write, art was an important means of communication, and a critical way
to record important events.

How is art a reflection of civilization?

As society expands and grows, art changes to reflect its new

developments. Art reflects our history and documents the crucial component
of our lives. Religion is another important factor in the arts because it gives
people meaning in their lives and is a reflection of different cultures and
societies
