Inca art and music :
- The Inca art was practical. The Incas were artistic and used materials available to them in nature and blended them creating many artistic forms in utilitarian ways.
-Much of the Incas artistic expression was used in everyday life and had a religious meaning.
-The color Gold was used in mostly everything such as pottery, clothing, and jewelry because the sun or Inti was their most important god and its color is gold.
-Gold was also used in most of the Incas religious ceremonies.
-Inca architecture: Incas were able to develop exquisite architecture without the use of wheels and modern tools. Their buildings have withstood five centuries in an earthquake prone zone and provided the foundations of many current buildings.
-Textile and clothing: Ancient Andean weaving developed by pre-Inca civilizations and inherited and perfected by the Incas is considered as one of the greatest textile in the world and is compared to the finest textile developed by ancient Egyptians.
-Inca music: two different types of musical instruments, wind and percussion. Strings musical instruments were added to their music repertoire after they were adapted from the Spanish. Their music was based in the combination of 5 notes re, fa, sol, la, and do.
