Body Art History 2/3: Middle AgesAfter the fall of lavish Rome, art and culture nearly vanished.
Populations of Europeans became illiterate serfs.
They worked hard to survive and they owned very little.
As they worked in the hard sun, their skin darkened and their clothing faded.
Your wedding dress was your finest dress and you very likely would have worn it a few times, on special occasions, before you handed it down to your daughter.
The Christian church became the sole guiding light for most folks.
From the 7th Century through to the Renaissance, the Church believed that makeup was "sinful."
Those who do not have to work in the sun remain pale and their clothing, un-
Body Art History 1/3: AncientLong before recorded history, Man desired to express himself.
The same pigments collected for cave painting would become the earliest body paints. Charcoal, Ochre, and Malachite were pulverized and kept in hollow seashells for the sake of art.
Very quickly, permanent modifications evolved into the identifiable- tattoos, scarification, and piercings. Modification developed out of necessity for expression, individualization
and belonging. Rites of Passage or Coming of Age Ceremonies were as necessary and as validating as the
modern driver's license but requiring more of a lifelong token.
The intricate and painful facial markings of the Maor

Street Photography - The OriginsAs we all know from the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding everything was invented by the Greeks. Well, ok we left some trivial things to be invented by the Chinese as well. What you may not know is that Street photography was also invented by the Greeks before Photography itself was even invented. :lol:
Seriously now:
Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment or "the supreme moment". The Greeks believed the concept of Kairos is achieved when such a moment is grasped for otherwise the moment is gone and cannot be re-captured. According to ancient Greeks, Kairos was the god of the “fleeting moment.”

Body Art History 3/3: Modern DayNear the turn of the century, lipstick is given its modern wax and oil based formula. In the early 1900s, around the birth of the silent film era, lipstick gets its signature twist-up tube.
The American film industry gave rise to makeup as we know it today. The needs of art directors would herald the inventions of lip gloss, mascara, fake lashes and much more.
As some say, "Life imitates Art." ;)
A booming film industry influenced the world and the cosmetics industry. Women found it acceptable to accentuate their features on a daily basis.
