2. Considering accessibility: Do you find the art of civilizations, such as that of the Indus valley, more accessible to modern people than artistic products of earlier eras? Is is possible to speak of artistic "progress" or "development" or shoulder we be content with simply noticing the differences?
Yes I find tis art more accessible to modern people that artistic products of earlier eras for many reasons. One reason I say this is because you can see how homo sapiens evolved mentally from the beginning to now. Art and other artifacts were very simply made, with less detail and more mysteriously. Now I say that because as people evolved so did their brains and way of thinking. Now as they continued to evolve their arts and whatever crafts grew too. Now the art in the Indus Valley are less confusing to what the meaning was and it told a story no matter how big or small in value. It allowed scholars to get a glimpse into how their society ran. Now if you compare that to the earlier homo sapiens and their art they are more mysterious on what they mean and represent. Anther reason they are more artistic is because they were capable of using more objects to help them make a better story or art since homo Sapiens had a very little amount of supplies and time since most earlier paleolithic people were gathers and hunter, leaving them very little time to tell and show their area where they lived. Yes it is possible to talk about progress and development in art because that is clearly what we are seeing from this civilization. This society was able to change from a simple carving into paintings, pottery, and many others. Now if this isn't progress from making a simple wooden statue I don't know what is.
