This book has no one down as the author but is published by Dorling Kindersley and the book’s foreword was written by Andrew Graham-Dixon. The book gives a history of art from around the world.

As I found out that the symbolic meaning of the use of red ochre in Australian Aboriginal art is a closely guarded secret. Also some of the colors that were used on the Egyptian tombs had symbolic associations too. Then one example is a color called Egyptian Blue which is linked to The River Nile, plants, and the heavens.

While green that is made a certain way is linked too eternal life prosperity, and a god named Osiris. Then the color red that is also made a certain way is linked to the sun, power, and life force.

I also discovered that the Greeks were the first to use mathematics in their artworks as this helped them with size and proportions.
