(Provide a link to the article here.) History of art

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this page because it is basically what we talk about in our class. It matters because it shows the progression of art throughout history in different cultures. My preliminary impression is that it is very comprehensive.

It appears that pretty much everything in the article is relevant to it. Nothing in the article distracted me from the subject. I don't see any information that is out of date. To me there is a noticeable difference in the amount of information written about in some cultures, and perhaps that could just be from a lack of art in that time period but there were very small sections for things such as Ancient Egyptian art and Japanese art, and I feel like those could have been much larger sections because there is plenty of art from those periods, and it was pretty noticeable when compared to the Ancient Greek section. The article's tone is very neutral, not persuasive at all. The links that I tried do work and the sources do back up what was said in the article. There is also a wide array of sources. There are lots of conversations on Talk about this article, and most of it has to do with the structure of it since it is covering so many different periods of times and regions.
