Analysis Of Sea Monsters Three By Twins Seven-Seven

A group called the benin artists created a masterpiece that symbolizes royal authority and power. It’s a sculpture of 2 leopards designed as water vessels, used for when the oba washes his hands before ceremonies.

In this essay, I will compare and contrast two different sculptures from two different contexts of art. The first being an Olmec Colossal head (monument 1), from the context of “Art of the Americas,” and the second sculpture being ahead from Rafin Kura. The head from Rafin Kura comes from the context of “Art of Africa.” Both sculptures come from two different time periods and parts of the world. They also are both made with natural materials and have their own symbolic meaning.

The medium used for this work of art is oil. In this technique the oil acts as a binder and causes a quick drying layer that can built upon. The formal elements of a painting include line, color, space, light, texture and pattern. The line appears to be an implied line in which the work creates directional movements from top to bottom. But also forces the viewer to see how the figures stand out and there importance in the painting. The color shows a subtle spectrum with a detailed background from the skies to the mountains to the artist table canvas. The light is somewhat even throughout the painting showing emphasis on every figure holding something in their hands; and more so the final product of the artist that are being captured on the canvas. The visual texture of the painting appears to be smooth and the pattern is decorative and somewhat vibrant. The principle of unity and variety are evident in this painting, the design itself shows a sense of community of important figures throughout African American history. I was drawn to this piece because it embodied the heritage of African American art through history. This painting by Hale Woodruff displays many of the significant contributions that African Americans made to the world of Art. Not necessarily “picture art” but all realms of life art: cooking, liberal arts, politics, labor, law and many more through his vibrant

The view from Victorians concerning the artwork was that they were obtained from” brutal and unruly savages from Benin” (The Times, 25th September 1897, p12) but it was also thought that the quality and workmanship of the pieces was exceptional.

This painting contains an old bald African American with a serious blunt face. The man have bags under his eyes and a large nose. Kapher went into depth making the features of his face a certain facial expression. It size also gave the painting such a vivid appearance with half of the African American face right in the middle-top of the painting. Its colors are brown for the African American male, black for the background; then he used a splatter painting technique at the bottom with navy blue, grey, and white. The splatter at the bottom gives the painting more to observe at than just a fifty year old man with a determined look. I will imagine that Kapher used painting an old man in a concerning mood with his mouth covered will best show a true realistic painting. The painting itself does not show much of realistic art, so I believe it's the meaning that gives the painting a naturalistic art stylistic

It was painted and completed by Joseph Mallord William Turner in England around 1820 and is an oil on canvas painting created during the romanticism era. The story behind this piece is, when a slave ship set out on a voyage they would pack the ships full of slaves, and along the way the slaves would get sick and die so the crew would throw them over board to avoid paying cargo tax. In the painting viewers see a satanic sky and dark murky water with limbs sticking out of it (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). The brush strokes are all sort of slanted down to the right and some are even curled to depict waves that look to be swallowing up the slaves as well as the ship. This painting is very sublime because it has beautiful colors and form yet the meaning behind it all is

The Sea of Monsters received almost positive reviews of every reader because its appropriate phasing of the storyline, the creative of the themes, and the author's style of writing. At first, the story is set in the realistic world with the characters at the teenagers ages, and the readers possess a character at their ages that they can relate to is a smart way to get them interested. Not only for the children, but also the adults can be rejuvenated with a young person’s feeling of humor in the book. Also the novel is based on the realistic history, the hero in present days fights with the persons in historic literature attracts the attentions of the readers in now day. I am highly recommend to others about the series of Percy Jackson & the

For this essay, I decided to analyze the art collections of the Fowler Museum at UCLA, more specifically in the Jerome LioMel Joss Gallery. The Jermone LioMel Gallery contains the arts works of Africa, and the Pacific Islands so I will be analyzing arts from the two areas from Papua New Guinea and Nigeria. These arts pieces are the Veranda posts (opo), and the ornament for a sacred flute.

Directly above his head, yet still connected to his head is a semi-circle of an image of a woman holding a baby. It appears that the image is a memory, perhaps of his mother holding himself or his wife holding their child. The man is surely a representation of the artist and this is “his life”. He seems to be the focus of the painting and the overall theme appears to be memories layered throughout. Right above the original semi-circle is another semi-circle of four small, colorful squares. Each square is red, yellow, and blue in color reminding me of the artists’ Hispanic origins. Moving inward from the darker, gray and white outer portion of the painting seems to be a bookcase with three separate images. Each image is of a man painting on a canvas. These three separate images of a man painting throughout the artwork could be the artists’ memories of his father, or a significant man in his life. The grays, blacks, and white used show the artists’ darker memories, while the vibrant, beautiful colors symbolize the joyous ones. Similarly, the softer, warmer colors that the artist uses represent his love, appreciation, and admiration towards his father. Overall, the painting is a memory timeline that

paintings often displayed in the Bible. You can see it is a man and a woman, very likely

This sculpture is of a women breast feeding her child. The face of the two people is elongated, as well as the breasts of the mother. This is common to all African Art because they wanted representation of what is being expressed. In this particular sculpture, a supernatural power is being called upon. The power has been asked to protect the mother and child, and to

This art piece was appealing to me because I thought of it as a peaceful, calming piece of artwork. When I first saw this painting I thought how lovely is the lady with her kids. Until I read the description and had a whole new story. I needed to look closer into the painting after reading the description. There is a gas mask in the ladies left hand as for her children are in their fun gas mask. I liked how the artist makes the painting seem so calm until you know the meaning behind it. This work is not disturbing, but it is mysterious. The work engages you to not only look at it once but look at it twice. To understand where the artist is coming from by painting this drawing. This work does have address of the Hawaiian cultural heritage. Which

This mask is an image of a woman. An image of a woman is very rare in Benin’s tradition. However, this work of art represents the legacy of a continuous dynasty. This mask is believed to be designed for Benin’s King’s mother. It is also believed that this mask was used to commemorate king’s mother. The color of the mask is white, a symbol of purity. On the mask, one can se the details of the face showing the impression of it. One can distinguish the angry eyes, the big nose and the puffing lips. There are carved scarification marks on the forehead, and below the

African art has played an important role in the culture of the world. The sculpture is the most common traditional culture expression for the African art. The different sculptures are shown by their local styles and they serve for the specific functions, such as religion. From some of these old art pieces, we figure out this kind of traditional culture expression already existed in the African for such a long time. In this paper, the art piece I am going to analyze is the Female Figure with Child and it made by Akan-Asante people. The Akan people of Ghana have been recognized for their various and attractive culture and it located in what are today Ivory Coast and the republic of Ghana in Western African. The Akan people are combined by different groups, such as the Anyi, Akawpim, Akyem, Aowin and Asante, and these people have their own dialect, but they share a lingua franca, which called Twi. The sculpture I choose could effectively reflect its own distinctive culture, because of the social connection reflect on the royalty, the comparison with other local art pieces, like Akuaba fertility dolls and its specific art form.

Discuss how the social, cultural and historical context shaped the meanings communicated in the artwork.
