Art History of Indonesia

Painting is one of the main art . With a basic understanding of the same , painting a more complete development of the drawing . Art history will we try to review in writing , as follows:

Historically , art was strongly associated with the image . Prehistoric relics show that since thousands of years ago , our ancestors had already started to make drawings on cave walls to represent the important parts of their lives .All cultures in the world know the art of painting . This is because the painting or drawing is very easy to make .

A painting or drawing can be made ​​only by using simple materials such as charcoal , chalk , or other materials . One well-known technique of drawing of prehistoric cave people do is to put a hand on the wall of the cave , then menyemburnya with chewed leaves or colored mineral stone .The result is a brightly colored hand rubbing on cave walls can still be seen today . 

This simplicity enables picture ( and subsequent painting ) to grow faster than other branches of art such as sculpture and ceramic art .Such as drawings, paintings mostly made ​​on a flat surface such as walls , floors , paper , or canvas . In modern art education in Indonesia , these properties are also called bi -dimensional ( two- dimensional , flat dimensions ) .

Along with the development of civilization , human ancestors increasingly adept at creating shapes and arrange them in a picture , it automatically works they begin to form a sort of visual composition and narrative ( story / stories ) in his works .Objects that appear frequently in ancient works are humans, animals , and other natural objects such as trees , hills , mountains , rivers , and sea . Shape of the object being drawn is not always identical to the original . 

This is called the image and it is strongly influenced by the painter's understanding of the object . For example , images created with a bull horn proportion of unusually large compared to the size of the original horn . This imagery is influenced by the artist's understanding of the horn is considered the most impressive part of a bull . Therefore, the image of one kind of object to be different depending on cultural understanding in the region . 

Imaging is becoming very important because it is also influenced by the imagination . In the development of painting , the imagination plays an important role up to now .At first , the development of painting strongly associated with the development of human civilization.

Language system , how to survive ( scavenging , hunting and trapping , and plant crops ) , and confidence ( as a forerunner to religion ) are the things that influence the development of painting . This influence is seen in the types of objects , imagery and narrative in it . 

At these times , painting has special uses , such as recording media ( in the form of a way ) to diulangkisahkan . Leisure moments in prehistoric times one of them filled with drawing and painting.

Way of communication by using image formation growth eventually writing system for real -letter symbols derived from the image which is then simplified and standardized .At one point , there are certain people in a group of prehistoric people who spend more time drawing than for food. 

They began adept at creating images and began to find that the shape and structure of a certain way , when arranged in such a way , would appear to be more interesting to see than usual . They began to find some sort of flavor of beauty in its activities and continue to do it so that they become more proficient . They were the first artists on the planet and that's when drawing and painting began leaning into art activities .
