Pre - Columbian American Art

Columbian art was mainly popular in Mexico and Peru and there seemed to be a bit of a competition between the two countries work. But Mexico seemed to stand out at the time with their interesting architecture that had the look of a pyramid but the feel of a temple. Mexico may have been in the lead at the time with the architecture but because of Peru's coastal dry climate it has managed to preserve delicate materials more of a textiles substances.
   

Lick in the times of cave painting they are still doing stone painting in the beginnings of civilisation. But rather that it being about dancing animals in the light of a flame, it is more of gods and their powers. There are a lot of paintings of the rain gods this will be because farming has started and they want rain for the new crops. But unlike the cave paintings you don’t have to guess as much about what the paintings are showing, as they are more detailed. But with gods came serpents and these are also shown in the paintings in their own isolated band. 

I found this image on google but it looks really simelar to the ones I have seen in books like 'AcentArts of the Americans' it must have been a well seen images and thats what people actually thought the god looked like as they are all the same colours and shapes. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Tetitla_Teotihuacan_Great_Goddess_mural_(Abracapocus).jpg
