Art History
Art in Thailand is mainly found in Bangkok, where it is still very wide spread across the world. Bangkok has been the capitol of Thailand since 1782. It has many elegant and beautiful ancient buildings, the oldest originating around 5,000 years ago. Since this time, the style and color of the architecture and art has changed drastically over the years. This paper will discuss many different styles, cultures, religions, and color. Archeologists have found tools and decorative pieces around northern Thailand, dating back to Paleolithic times. This shows how old the original man was when they first made settlements near Thailand. As style has evolved, they began making glass and weaving cloth. The true Thai architecture didn't come until later. The ruins of Thailand, which are where the elegant style came from date back to the first capitol in 1238.

This opened up a new door to style and design for the Thai artists. They began designing buildings, which showed more color and gracefulness in their smooth climb towards the sky. It is a marvel to see how these buildings climb to story on top of story and not topple over. These buildings would have magnificent color and great detail from the outline all the way to the shingles in the roof. The statues on the buildings would represent other gods or war he
