MINOANS: The minoan people had a high self respect for their environment. Not much of their art had survived from the Prepalatial period. Around 1900-1700 BC the Minoans came to discover the art of pottery. They had many artworks painted on the walls of palaces in ancient Crete, that still survive today. They had several techniques to shape metal into objects and works of art.
Mycenaean art is different then Minoan art. The minoan art is mostly essentially small, while the Mycenaean art wanted to be more noticeable. It was on palaces, walls, and tombs. They also had rings and gems that bore religious marks.
MYCENAEANS: Paintings, known as Frescoes, are a tradition that compared to that of oral formulaic poetry. This traditions were first picked up by the Minoans but were quickly picked up ny the mycenaeans. Animals in these paintings were symbols. Seeing an animal in a natural environment in a painting is very rare, because they were "mans victims."Their art included pottery, paintings, jewelry, and wall art.
