Mesopotamian Art: Akkadia: The Akkadians dominated Mesopotamia from 2334BC to around 2150BC. Their culture was dominated around a king, versus a city-state culture. Their art followed suit, glorifying their kings to near God status. They brought an innovative story-telling element to their work, by depicting their figures in a series of successive levels, versus horizontal placement, like the Sumerians. They also created hollowed out bronze sculptures, like the Head of an Akkadian Ruler, found in Iraq, which dates around 2250BC.

Mesopotamian Art: Sumeria: The Sumerians lived where the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers form the Fertile Crescent in southern Iraq. They occupied the region around 3,500BC to around 2,334BC. The surviving art from this time period depicts the people with a single eyebrow, and hair and beards are depicted with ridges formed by a flat tool. Their temple paintings, discovered in the temple of Ur show the people in profile view, similarly to Egyptian hieroglypics.

Monet, Claude: Mo-nae. Claude Monet, born November 14, 1840 was a Parisian painter who is credited with founding Impressionism. His painting Impression Sunrise was the first finished painting that had been coined as an Impressionist work. Even though he was insulted by the term, Impressionist, he later embraced the term and formed a 'club' of Impressionist painters who exhibited outside the established Salon. Monet is most remembered for his images of his pond filled with lilly pads and his Asian arched bridge.
      Later in life, Monet moved to Giverny, France, where he painted the famous lily pond series, and where he slowly developed cataracts, which were removed on two occasions in 1923. Claude Monet lived until the age of 86, when he died of lung cancer in 1926.

A piece of paper, usually soaked in water, is applied to the plate and a rubber roller is used to press the wet paper into the paint/ink. The paper is removed, leaving a reversed image of the painted version of the photograph.
