Mesoamerica was dominated by 3 cultures in the Pre-Classical (up to 200CE) to Post-Classical periods (circa 1580 CE): the Olmec, Maya, and Aztec.
The Olmec culture of the Gulf Coast of Mexico produced the first major Mesoamerican art, and is particularly known for the creation of colossal stone heads.
At its height, Teotihuacan had a population of 200,000, was a primary center of commerce and manufacturing, and was one of the largest cities in the world.
Mayan art includes a wide variety of objects, commissioned by rulers, that depict scenes of both elite and everyday society.
The production of ceramic figurines are a hallmark of Classic Veracruz art. The Veracruz people produced a variety of these small clay figures in multiple areas around the modern state of Veracruz, Mexico.
Mixtec culture had a unique and complex writing system that used characters and pictures to represent complete words and ideas instead of syllables or sounds. They made codices to document important historical events in their society.
