 Ancient World

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World serves as a evidence to the patience ,wide imagination, and hard work of which human beings is capable of. Many artist got inspired from these amazing structures. I, as well, got inspired after I saw the video of the Ancient world. It's not a waste to study about it. Honestly, it's our honor to know about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. How to know that all of us can be creative like the early civilization were. It will will help other artist to work hard. And to realize that there's no such thing as impossible.

Ancient times can affect or affects modern time. It can influence modern artist to mix the present from the past. Like Ancient Egyptian Art, influences design choices today. Egyptian art already entered moderns home. Papyrus a form of paper used for art in ancient Egypt, can be found on walls of homes, offices, furniture, and sculpture. The triangular shape of the pyramids from Egypt continues to appear in the design of some buildings. For example, in Paris at the Louvre Museum. A glass and wire structure before the entrance has the shape of the Egyptians pyramids. And even make ups! The Egyptian eye makeup design has become the smokey eye of today.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the only thing that testify that we got a great and awesome history these past thousand years. It tells us the great people we got and build those amusing structure that we can truly be proud of. Such great things were build and changed the world of art. From impossible to possible. It's still possible that at least one of the wonders might not have existed at all. But all seven wonders will forever continue to inspire other artists because of the remarkable result of the creativity of early civilization.
