Answer 1

Minoan paintings largely depicted colorful scenes with humans and animals.

Answer 2

C. colorful scenes with humans and animals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The artistic works of the Minoans were similar to those found in Egypt and the Middle East, which implies that the first peoples who inhabited Greece came from this region.

They also used ceramics a lot for decoration, developing geometric shapes such as triangles, zigzags and abstract symmetrical patterns. They used to record daily life with drawings of plants, animals and attempts at human representations.

Some of these overlapping ceramic figures were prominently painted on walls. They painted in detail animals like bulls and ordinary scenes, such as the presence of countless guests at parties, weddings, and great religious ceremonies.
