Evolution of Art: A Brief Overview

The evolution of art has been a journey from ancient cave paintings to modern digital creations. It has evolved from being a medium of communication and storytelling to a reflection of societal changes and human emotions. The different periods include the Middle Ages focusing on religious themes, the Renaissance with naturalism, the Baroque and Rococo periods marked by luxury and drama, the 19th Century's Romanticism, and the 20th Century's modernism with experimentation and abstraction. Today, contemporary art embraces diverse influences and techniques. However, there's a divide between traditional and modern art, with the latter often being overlooked or misunderstood due to its challenging norms and less straightforward marketability.
