Design History

The other day we talk about many interesting pieces of art. Just like the Sumerians who developed writing language that increase knowledge, stabilized laws, and made out of clay. Then we talk about Egyptians who use hieroglyphics and who develop the papyrus and manuscripts that tell stories.

Next we talk about was the alphabets. Many people (countries / nation) have their own alphabet, for example…
· Cretan alphabet used pictographs and Minoan civilization.
· Phoenician alphabet arose from a need for communication. In addition, it develops sound speech rather than objects (pictographs).
· Greek alphabet adopted the Phoenician in 800 BC and is used for knowledge.
· Latin alphabet was adopted by the Greek alphabet, was revising, and charges the letters.


I pictures that I found is the "Wounded
Bison Attacking a Man"

is a cave painting from Lascaux, France that was painted somewhere around
15,000 years ago. It's amazing how these people created paintings.
