Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probably the oldest purpose of art is as a vehicle for religious ritual. From the prehistoric cave paintings of France, to the Sistine Chapel, art has served religion.Studying the art of the past teaches us how people have seen themselves and their world, and how they want to show this to others.
