The history of art is immense which begins over 30,000 years ago. There is a lot to be found in
a timeline of art history which includes a series of movements, styles, and periods that reflect
the time during which each piece of art was created. The history of art is important because it
can tell us stories, relate the moods and beliefs of an era, which help us to relate to the people
who came before us.
