Pre-Columbian Art primarily refers to which cultures?

Pre-Columbian Art specifically pertains to the civilizations that thrived in the Americas before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. This term broadly encompasses the artistic creations of various indigenous cultures, with a particular focus on significant and highly developed civilizations such as the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayans. Each of these cultures produced remarkable works of art that reflect their complex societies, religious beliefs, and connection to the natural world, including sculpture, pottery, textiles, and architecture.

The choice highlighting the Indigenous Peoples of North America does include some cultures that created art in this time period; however, it is too broad and doesn't specifically address the prominent civilizations that define the Pre-Columbian era as represented by the major empires like the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayans.

Meanwhile, relating Pre-Columbian Art to the Greeks and Romans or to Baroque and Rococo artists is incorrect because these European artistic movements developed much later and are not associated with the indigenous cultures of the Americas. Greeks and Romans flourished in the ancient Mediterranean world, while Baroque and Rococo refer to European art styles from the 17th and 18th centuries. Thus, they do not fall under the category of Pre-Columbian
