Without art, the World would be a very boring place to live in, because according to us, art is one of the most important things today, and as time goes by, it gets even more and more appreciated.

If you are an artist today, it means that you are an open minded person who can understand everything, who has no limits in art as well in life too, and you must love those kid of people, because even if you don’t, they will never care – definition for happiness.

Artists are one of the smartest people in the World because not everyone can be a musician, painter, writer, designer, sculpture creator from different material or jewelry maker, which is very appreciated these days, because people see handmade jewelry like something more valuable than the one made in factories.

We couldn’t decide which kind of art to represent you today, so we’ve decided to make a collection from different art in different forms that you will admire for sure. This collection is some kind of different art you haven’t seen before, so scroll down and enjoy!

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city located in the Campania region of Italy. It was destroyed and buried under volcanic ash in AD 79 from the eruption of volcano Mount Vesuvius.

The eruption killed the citizens, burying them under tons of ash. Evidence for the destruction originally came from a surviving letter by Pliny the Younger, who saw the eruption from a distance and described the death of his uncle Pliny the Elder, an admiral of the Roman fleet, who tried to rescue citizens.

During the excavation, plaster was used to fill in the voids in the ash layers that once held human bodies. This allowed one to see the exact position the person was in when he or she died.

Pompeii is a tourist destination for over 250 years till today because there is always interest at tourists to see this place and his petrified people and animals inside. Take a look!
