There were many types of artists so there were many types of art. There were 2 main groups, craft workers and tradesmen. Craft workers were men who decorated buildings and homes. Tradesmen were people who had jobs like potters and blacksmiths. Potters made clay pots, cups and plates. Blacksmiths made tools, pots and pans from iron. Roman art grows out of Etruscan art. Etruscan art has a close relationship to Greek art. Roman people were interested in portraiture. Like making statues that looked like special people. Greek people were more interested in ideals. Like the most handsomest man or like the most athletic man. Most of the people in Rome believed that having a good image of someone’s face kept their ghost away. The Romans thought this kept the ghost happy. This may be true. This may not be true.
