Pre-historic art is all produced in preliterate, pre-historical cultures

beginning in every late geological history, and generally
continuing until that culture either develops writing or other
methods of record keeping, or make significant contact with
another culture that has, and that makes some record of major
historical events.
The characteristics of Egyptian art are a combination of geometric
regularity and keen observation of nature. Their art were classified
into three: first art used in the home-furniture, jewelry, musical

masks mummy cases, and wrapping for the body, third art was
created for the gods and their priest and kings-in temples,

VI. Remember
Definition of important words:

Byzantine art is the art of the Greek-speaking Byzantine

Empire formed after the division of the Roman Empire between
Eastern and Western halves, and sometimes of parts of Italy under
Byzantine
Romanesque art developed in the period between about 1000 to the
rise of Gothic art in the 12th century, in conjunction with the rise of
monasticism in Western Europe. The style developed initially in
France, but spread to Christian Spain, England, Flanders, Germany,
Italy, and elsewhere to become the first medieval style found all over
Europe, though with regional differences.
The Gothic period coincided with a greatly increased emphasis on the
Virgin Mary, and it was in this period that the Virgin and Child
became such a hallmark of Catholic art.
