Answer:

The Mesopotamian region was called the Fertile Crescent because the geography of it was shaped like a crescent moon. Its geography impacted its art because they made everyday useful items like dishes, pots, clothing, baskets, boats, and weapons out of clay. They also created works of art meant to represent the gods and king.
