Question

What factors in this time period help distinguish what is considered Ancient art from Primitive art?

Answer 1

i think it would be that Ancient art comes from the classical period (meaning that the society from which the piece of art comes from was civilized - lived in cities and possibly had writing etc) and Primitive art comes from societies before 'civilization' i.e. before people started settling in cities or farming etc.

its like comparing cave paintings (primitive) to a Greek statue (ancient)
