The painting that I found to be the most intriguing was the Head of a Cow. In its simplicity, this art is part of the artist's every day life. Art for these people was not just of the extravagant and ostentatious, but of the activities and figures encountered every day. Art is all around us, and while today many of us have to take a class to realize this, these simple people knew this to be true in their most basic existence. The Head of a Cow is not meant to be special. It is a provider of milk, meat, and tools. The artist probably painted the cow's head just because he or she felt the need to paint, but that is what makes it so beautiful. These ancient drawings are proof that art is something we as humans need, and Earth without "art" is just "Eh".
