Key Concepts: • Why “man” made “Art”? Aesthetic Human Spirit • FUNCTIONS OF ART: (URIPHEA)

o U – utilitarian o R – religious/ritual/spiritual o I – information/communication o P – political/power/propaganda o H – historical record (before books, Wikipedia, the news and social media) o E – economic (goods for trade) o A – aesthetic (beauty and pleasure)

• These artifacts from Unit #1 tell us how the earliest humans lived, what they believed, how they grouped and eventually formed civilizations

• Advancements in building techniques and innovations eventually lead to permanent dwellings • People began to specialize in certain aspects of life and create culture
