Hello again!

Hi everyone.
I wrote this a while ago, and I've been updating it for a while as I do research. I just had this realization though, that I've been approaching this all wrong. I haven't been thinking of this correctly. What I want to know is how major events and time periods have changed art. With that I need to be looking at all of the big events in different places. I've been too general. I decided to post this blog anyways, since I put the work into it. But I have a new idea. I've created a table where I can write down what subjects were popular during which time period, along with what tools were being used often, and what major events happened during that time. Later I can go back and analyze what I've written.
I suppose my new project is to look into time periods and read up on major events in all sorts of cultures. Then I can move on with the art.
Here's what I had done before I reached this conclusion:

So I've been a little too busy with the group project to do much research on this topic recently, so I wanted to examine the first link that I had found useful today. 

So, the third link on my list of links is the first one I found that looked useful in any way.

It's called Art History Resources.

The first link I clicked on is Prehistoric Art: General.

This is a prehistoric statue.

What I found is a little bit confusing. I fully understand it, but it still confuses me. The link led to another list of links, all of which seem to lead to other sites that have information. It mostly confuses me in a way that I don't know where to start. I guess I'll just read the first and then move onto the next and keep going. It's going to take a while though.

So, the first link. Stone age art.

http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/s/stoneage.html

This a prehistoric cave painting.

The obvious is the statement is that the stone age art is art done with stone tools. This age began over 2 million years ago with the earliest of humans.

There are three periods of time that the stone age is devided into: the Paleolithic period, the Mesolithic period, and the Neolithic period. There are more links relating specifically to the different periods back on the original site, so I hope to look at those later.
The next link was about prehistoric art in Europe. I didn't find it to be very easy to use, and it kind of confused me.
http://www.europreart.net/

That's where I was, and where I am now. I'll update again soon.

Review of Links

Today I started looking at the links that I posted yesterday.
Starting with the first link on the list, I found that it had pretty much nothing to offer for me. It was a link to the Art History department at Chicago University, but no information was provided and I couldn't really do  research there.
The moment I clicked on the second link I realized that it was the same art history department at Chicago University, so that was no help.
The third link looks very useful. It's a list of resources for different periods and cultures of art history. I'm definitely going to look back at it.
The fourth link was about.com. I'm not exactly sure why I put that on there, but it does have catagorized art so I may use it as something to look at but not to exactly take as research.
The fifth link was a website that doesn't look very reliable. Again I may look into it but I'm not sure if I can take it seriously.
The sixth link looks like it will help out a lot. It's a time line of art history. It could be perfect.
The seventh link again looks helpful. This one seems more like I would be looking at art instead of reading, which could allow for me to create my own interpretations of it.
The eighth link is to University of Michigan, the school of art and design. It interests me because it seems like school that I'd like to go to. It also has information that could be useful.
The ninth link is a list of other websites about art history. Again, could be useful.
The tenth link is another college, and doesn't seem to have anything interesting or helpful to me. It seems to be more aimed towards students there.
The eleventh link is a library book. I don't even know why I put that on there. It could be useful if it was actually the library that I went to. Really where was my mind that day?
The twelth link looks helpful.
The thirteenth and final link is another university website.
So, for my own reference, these are links that I need to look back at:
