This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master. It is from the Late Classical period of Greek, Attic which was completed around ca.360 B.C. . I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because I’m mainly attracted to art and sculptures from the Greek era. The overall color used in this relief is ivory with a few cracks and pieces broken off. There is some discoloration which causes the color to come off as slightly light brown for most of the relief. The sculpture appears larger compared to the other sculptures in the art room. It represents a family which includes a man, his wife, and their

The Swing is a magnificent piece of painting, painted by Jean- Honore Fragonard in 1767. The art work was painted with oil, on a canvas that was 32⅝ by 26 in. Fragonard was not, The Swings, original brainstormed artist. In fact, the subject matter was given to, Gabriel-Francois Doyen, who was approached by the baron de Saint-Julien, to paint his mistress.

Art has been a factor of our life as long as humanity has existed. For thousands of years, art has been created, observed, critiqued, and enjoyed by human beings in many regions across the world. Art aren’t just murals, sculptures, music, books or anything that someone may define as art but more of a bigger picture like if has a deeper meaning such a message or a theme that is looked upon. Art can be viewed at as many different ways in terms of people having different reactions or observing it in a different meaning. Someone could feel that the art work is very extraordinary and unique but someone else can have a different reaction and feel like it is no different than other artworks and have a literalist view upon the art. One art that made

The painting takes what the eye can see and extends it further, to a realm that cannot be captured by someone unless they have the patience and diligence to see beyond the obvious and capture more than the eye permits.

The Swing is a typical Rococo painting with loose brushwork, soft colors and an amorphous organic composition which celebrates the beauty of love and sophistication of the ruling class while, The Oath of the Horatii displays war and anger and eschews the Rococo style with its geometric organization and its strong impression of

In this painting, two visual elements stand out over all the rest. These elements are that of color and texture. Color in art is an element that has to be phenomenal in order to get recognition and true appreciation from the viewers. In this painting, the colors are rich, vivacious and standout as dark, but bold representations of the uniqueness of it all. The use of brown and yellow and green and grey and white all come together in a harmony of color and unity. As for the texture in the painting, it is that of brisk and roughness that is nature. The sharp edges of the bucks rack and the cold, rough edges of the dead tree show

Written language can change and can be forgotten but art will always stay constant, you can destroy people and their way of life but if art is preserved the way they lived their lives it will tell their story. Missing or stolen art has had a big impact on the world of art. There are many types of art that have been stolen; paintings, sculptures, jewelry, photography, and written artifacts. There are many questions on whether art is important to the preservation to a culture such as;

Consequently, a loss in the artisan and artistic labor markets will have a greater effect on society than just a loss in workforce numbers. A loss in artists, musicians, craftsmen, or any largely creativity based occupation, would lead to a major decline in new creative inventions and innovations. Not only is technology damaging the arts, but also education. (Szekely, 2016, para.11-14) Budget cuts for art and music classes have gone through the roof. Over just the past ten years national funding for the art has dropped nearly 25%. In recent national budget plans national funding for the arts has taken an even larger setback. (Kennicott, 2017, para. 9) These cuts will ultimately impact, “four independent cultural agencies — the National Endowment

1. Discuss the impact of photography on the nineteenth-century landscape. How did it affect painting? What were the political implications of the medium? Use examples to support your essay.

I'm sure artists can agree that art is not something written in stone, it is a matter that is always changing. Looking back at eighteenth century artist and comparing them to artists of today, there are many factors that have changed; from composition and color, to technique and even canvases. There are always trends in the design field. Personally, I don't believe that a single artist can have the responsibility of making a direct impact on the world of art; however, he/she can influence and impact his/her audience to go out and make a difference. So in an era where every individual is caught up and distracted with the media to be focused on world problems, the only real way to communicate with the world is through media, which is where illustration and entertainment come into play.

Red appears to dominate the painting and serves as an eye-catching color. The use of intensely saturated colors draws the attention to the front couple. Additionally, the red color plays with the mind of the onlooker without them thinking about it. It suggests deep passion, anger, and struggle. The artist intends to relay his feelings about the event to the viewer. His outlook consists of disgust towards the great depression that leaves many taken advantage of due to desperation.

Although it is hard to use all of these elements Van Gogh did it in an excellent manner, with nothing in this painting being overpowering to the viewer's eye. This may be the reason for the great success for Van Gogh and his piece. This piece was so different for the era that Van Gogh did not live to see his paintings success, even though he was not successful in his lifetime most of his pieces are still remembered today for their strong composition and

The art and beauty in this painting is exemplified through the eyes of Boucher. It starts with a beautiful couple taking a rest after picking up some followers. Their clothing looks very elegant and colorful which shows that they are aristocrats. The man’s eyes are gazing at a shepherdess who gathered her own flowers. Their eyes are locked despite the man having his own woman right in front of him. The light brushstrokes of the dresses, flowers, and trees

The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink

DeviantART (also known as dA) is a website widely known as an online art market to artists today as a place to showcase or sell their artworks. The site made it possible for artists to upload their original artworks for the public to see and perhaps for other to purchase. The deviantART community has dramatically influenced many contemporary artists to now rely on the use of an online gallery to both display and sell their works as opposed to depending of a gallery in the offline world. deviantART has caused a shift in the way the economy revolves around the art market and art world. This is by its adoption into the art world, its uses and its effects on the art market. A major source that will be majority referenced on will be a interview
