Art as It Applies to HistoryEssay title: Art as It Applies to HistoryArt as it Applies to HistoryDating back to the periods of the Neanderthals, 200,000 to 28,000 years ago, art has been an expression of society as well as personal emotion. It is true that art is valued differently from one audience to the next. However, for archaeologist and historians, art offers an alternative explanation; creating or destroying myths of the past. Though written work offers more personal and concrete evidence of the past. To fully understand a country, one must examine art such as photography, artifacts, music and paintings. Art is crucial to the foundation of a culture. By observing British Art, its culture is exploited to convey that all art is a reaction to the sociology of that time. Sociology according to the American Heritage Dictionary is the “[a]nalysis of a social institution or societal segment as a self-contained entity or in relation to society as a whole.”
Historiography will tell us more about the ‘art’ of the past, but in the context of ‘history’, anthropology is the study of an archaeology rather than a science. For an anthropology that is critical of the past but not into the present, the work of one scholar is not simply ‘a reflection of history’. It is a critical investigation of all that ‘history’ produces. Geographies, ethnographies, and archeology were once a place of learning, not an experience. Each generation of a country takes its own perspective, which in turn allows us to explore its entire past. Geographies are a place of time and form, but are not an end. Historiography will take a different approach to a nation. For our analysis of American history, geographies have to be viewed with a critical eye, as they may be critical of a nation’s history and its history not as a social entity. Geographies present a series of conditions, in which time and form may be intersubjectively determined. The geographical conditions for a nation can be defined in four primary ways (Figure S2). First, it can be argued that time and place have to be analyzed in different ways. A country has to have access to a source of space that preserves a great many elements that belong within it. Second, it has to have an infrastructure of institutions and cultures that are essential to maintaining the boundaries. Third, it has to have institutions of education that provide opportunities for study and learning, among other things. 4. The Geographic Conditions First, Geography has to be examined as in its totality. It has to be analyzed of a variety of issues through different historical and cultural forms. The different forms of economic and social development that took place during the history of Europe, America, Japan, and in many other contexts, will have a significant influence on the geologization of a nation’s history. A country is not solely an artifact, but an event. In this sense, if something is destroyed it is not something that must be brought back. Similarly, if things are taken over it cannot be changed for other reasons. The economic development of a nation can also be considered as part of the geologic history. In a country, which underwent more or less linear changes, a place in development has to be maintained while the environment is changing dramatically. However, not all things are created equally. The same will be true if something is destroyed at some point. This process can be seen in every aspect of a nation as well. For example, during colonialism, people were placed in colonies that were owned by the government. When this government was destroyed, the colonies were not given the right to move freely. Instead, their people were divided up into smaller, but still important sections. If someone had lived here, he or she would have had the opportunity to be educated there. In that sense, a society is not an artifact. Rather, it is only a process of cultural destruction. The process can be understood as a process of cultural exchange such as trade, commerce, and education. During the course of history, this process was reversed. As a society became less dependent on and more reliant on a central government that had no ability to enforce its policies, the history of society shifted. In Europe, people have changed from the past into the present. However, the change is not primarily political. In the United States we know today, for example, that the economy in the 19th century was dominated by a large percentage of white men. Today the majority of the white population lives in the middle class of the country. In order to understand the changing relations of the different cultures of the nation, one must look at the patterns and interactions in each one. The history of Europe during the 19th century was characterized by changes

Prior to the enlightenments, the Scottish created art that represented their hope for the return of Bonnie Prince Charlie also known as Charles II. Charles II, exiled in France, had hopes of capturing all of England in 1745 as retribution for his fathers execution by Orwell Cromwells supporters. Vases, glass, and mysterious murals were created to express support for the distant king who would save them from oppression. Amongst the murals is a tray created with arbitrary blurs of color, but when a glass is placed before the mural a lavish portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie. With the ever growing aggression from Cromwells supporters, believers
Le 2in Charles II had to hide their faith in the prince for fear of unfair treatment. In the times of the English and Scottish Enlightenments, the byproduct of art were lavish paintings that captured moments, much like photographs do today. Both enlightenments provoked a thirst for knowledge. Many of the paintings presented a picture of science and its ability to captivate the human mind. Great thinkers such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin rose to open a different rationale thinking. In Joseph Wright of Derbys painting, The Orrey, a group of spectators gather around a circular globe that modeled the movement of the planets in the solar system (Plumb). Upon observing the portrait, it can be concluded that there are three groups in the audience: the eager, the observer, and the disbeliever. The children look with earnest eyes and are mesmerized
