How specific cultures have influenced art through the ages

An example of how a culture has influenced art through the ages is the Egyptian culture, a main example of this is during the art deco period in the 1920's. Art was very influenced around the time of what was happening within the world, and a huge event which occured in the 1920's was the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb containing his mummified remains. This was huge news at the time which quickly spread across the globe and what came to follow was a wave of Egyptian designed art deco pottery, posters, and for various other medias.

Architecture has also been influenced a lot by the Egyptians which can be seen in Skyscrapers and Houses, as they use a linear step design which was first seen from the Pyramids in the Egyptian era.

Japanese art had been influenced through the ages as it used to depict stories of farming and fighting for survival in battle, but as time went on, traditional japanese art reflected it and its style slowly changed alongside it, and when the east and west built transportation access and developed trade routes it allowed a bigger industry for Japan, changing the way it would view the world forever, and in a sense its traditional arts sources are not around to this present day, as no more do samurai fight and the loser commits suicide to regain honour.
