In Great Zimbabwe art and architecture was very important. People built many buildings including the one pictured above. Back in time when they built these sculptures or buildings their main point was to show what was special to them and their culture.
Was it creative?
Yes, people in Great Zimbabwe made their art creative and their buildings extraordinarily. They did this by making 5 meter tall walls. They worked very hard and long to make their art and architecture the way they did.
Did it emphasize human advancement?
Yes, their art and architecture defiantly emphasized human advancement. In the Great Zimbabwe empire people made a structure that was about 1,780 acres. Which could have homed about 18,000 people. Originally this massive building was for the monarchy and they used it well until the city was abandoned and it fell into ruins. It also showed their advancement because it made people more open minded about art and architecture.
For Art and Architecture I give Great Zimbabwe an A-. I am giving them an A- because they created a plethora amount of great buildings but the didn't create very much art.
