Hello fellow time travelers! Join us as we venture through time and space to explore different forms art has taken in the past. Each day we will look at a different moment in time, going all the way back to cave painting, then traveling forward to the present day. We'll analyze the way art has evolved over time. Every day we'll create different artworks inspired by a period, or the artists that lived in it.
