That's it for this lesson!
Everything we've learned here is what you'd call a historical description, but we've focused specifically on describing art & technology.
This kind of historical description:
- Locates technologies and arts in time and space
- Describes physical features as well as details about how people used them
- Explains meaning and significance
- Can be used to describe specific artifacts or technologies in general
- Can sometimes use a compositional or step-by-step structure
As you might have noticed, people create art & technology, but art & technology also create people!
