Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko are best-known as pioneers of Abstract Expressionism. But all four were also among thousands of artists and other creatives employed by the government through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) between the years of 1935 and 1943. That the arts would be funded significantly by the federal government—never mind that it would actively employ artists—may well raise an eyebrow today. But working under a subdivision of the WPA known as the Federal Art Project, these artists got to work to help the country recover from the Great Depression, as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Evidence of impoverishment and a portfolio showcasing one’s skills and commitment to the arts were all that was needed to qualify for the WPA initiative. This and the Federal Art Project’s non-discrimination clause meant that it attracted, and hired, not just white men but also artists of color and women who received little attention in the mainstream art world of the day. These artists created posters, murals, paintings, and sculptures to adorn public buildings.
Here's the order:
- Ptolemy's map of the world
- the first school of oceanic navigation
- Portuguese caravels with triangular sails
Details:
Ptolemy (ca. 100-150 AD) was an astronomer, mathematician and geographer in the Roman Empire era. Ptolemy's map of the world was a map based on descriptions in Ptolemy's book, <em>Geography, </em>which dates back to around the year 150 AD.
Prince Henry the Navigator started the first school for oceanic navigation at Sagres, Portugal, for training in navigation, map-making, and science. The date of founding of the school (and even full details about it) are a bit uncertain, but it seems to have been established in about 1418. Prince Henry was called "The Navigator" because of his strong support for sending out ocean exploration voyages.
Caravels were developed by the Portuguese around the middle of the 15th century (around 1450). These more agile ships were better suited to ocean sailing than previous ship models used in the calmer waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
