Celts were a symbol of power and wealth<br />3. There was a transition from stone tools to figurative sculpture<br />4. The activities used by tools extended the capability and the strength of the human hand<br />5. Our ancestors reshaped their tools into effigies<br />6. Their art translated into their design of space and the built environment<br />7. Paleothic people are pre-agricultural <br />8. Neolithic people are early agricultural <br />9.

These thoughts are influenced in part by some readings I did this summer for the NEH seminar on Mesoamerica and the Desert Southwest.<br /><br />Subjective:<br />1. The meaning “still abstract and highly symbolic”<br />2. Art has deep applications, at least toward understanding the nature of creativity and innovation<br />3. Questioning why people make art <br />4. Wood or clay may connote fertility, strength, or abundance<br />5. Effigies perhaps formed from used tools and represent a leap from one kind of human control over the environment to another<br />6. “The tools of our ancestors are physically, aesthetically beautiful in and of themselves. They possess grace, balance, and a profound personal character that comes from the intimate contact our ancestors had with them.”<br />7. His hypothesis about how our ancestors understood the natural world and how they developed ideas <br />8. Super tools allowed our ancestors to somehow possess some of that power themselves. <br />9. They came to some understanding of forces beyond them that controlled or allowed their ability to reproduce, to obtain food, and to continue their lineage.<br />10.
