Essay from the year 2003 in the subject History - America, University of Phoenix, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In the past, entire civilizations were built around the creation and enjoyment of art. It was believed that art separated us from the animals. Art was an expression of the soul to be shared and treasured. Items that today have become simply utilitarian were created not only for pure functionality, but as an artistic endeavor. From intricate baskets to gilded pottery, art was intermingled with everyday life. Even today, rarely do we see the artistic endeavor put into things such as buildings as once occurred.
