The second category would be sculptures; in our museum we have only one sculpture named “Serenidad” by the sculptor Carlos Arboleda. This sculpture resembles a woman transmitting tranquility to the world very pleased with her surroundings. The third category would be abstract art, this art uses a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual objects in the wold. For this category I have chosen “Fiesta en la Mansion” by Pilar Moreno. This piece is unique it called my attention right away because is an unusual art, it is composed with different types of human bodies but instead of human faces this bodies has animals faces. This Portrays an abstract scenario and
The reason I think Chiapas Paz Mexico mural at City Lights bookstore on Jack Kerouac alley is art because the artist communicates with the viewers by using art theory such as color theory, lines and shapes, and composition on his mural.
The Battle of Monmouth was a glimmer of confidence, courage and strength for the Americans during the Revolutionary war. In the database Battle of Monmouth published by World Almanac Education Group, states, ¨Monmouth battle of the Revolution was fought June 28, 1778¨ (World Almanac Education Group 1).The enemy, the British, evacuated Philadelphia in June and headed for New York but cut across New Jersey. On the 26th of June, they arrived in Monmouth County. As time passed, the British faced some problems, forcing them to fall back and they were unable to move forward. This is when Washington ordered his men to attack the British and capture them at their moment of weakness, and catch them off guard.
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 1959 novel, Pocho, by José Antonio Villarreal is an insightful cultural exposition told primarily from the vantage point of Richard Rubio, the coming-of-age son of immigrant Mexican parents who eventually settle in Santa Clara, California, after many seasons of migrant farm work. Although fiction, the story likely mirrors some of the experiences of the author who was born to migrant laborers in Los Angeles in 1924 and was himself a "pocho" - a child of the depression era Mexican-American transition. ("I am a Pocho," he said, "and we speak like this because here in California we make Castilian words out of English words." p 165)
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA as it is commonly known, is among the world’s largest art collections in North America, and to be specific enough the most prevalent artwork in the western United States (Compton 165). This massive art museum has a collection of over 100,000 artworks, which extends from the ancient times to present days (Gilbert and Mills 174). These collections, which are mainly from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin-America and America itself, are grouped into several departments within the museums buildings, depending on the region, culture, media, and time period. This paper analyzes the different genres of art and explains the main features that make the Islamic artworks
With works in every known medium, from every part of the world, throughout all points in history, exploring the vast collection of the Museum of Modern Art was an overwhelming experience. The objects in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts are an important historical collection, reflecting the development of a number of art forms in Western Europe. The department's holdings covered sculpture in many sizes, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, jewelry, and tapestries. The gallery attracted my appreciation of the realistic qualities of the human body often portrayed in sculpture.
Students through the process of art appreciation will build connections through the exploration of textures, lines, colour and shape when describing, analysing, interpreting and judging the artworks before them (3 chosen images). They are asked to describe what they see, the artist’s use of colour, lines, shapes and texture. They then move onto analysing; what catches their eye, is the composition balanced and do the paintings look flat or do they have depth. The discussion then progresses onto interpretation where students are able to express what type of emotion they feel when looking at the pictures, perhaps the kind of sounds they might hear if they could step into it, and why they think the artist chose this particular subject to paint and what may have inspired the artist.
Although the Knight and the Squire both possess the same occupation, they exhibit disparate approaches in relation to devotion. In regard of battles, it was the main point in the Knight’s description, whereas in the Squire’s, was barely a significant component. All of the Squire’s involvement amidst the military is very shortly revealed saying that “he had seen some service with the calvary/ In Flanders and Artois and Picardy,” (Chaucer 87-88) while the Knight’s list of battles is the focus in his description. The Knight traveled “along the Mediterranean coast” (Chaucer 61) to multiple regions including Russia, North Africa, Anatolia, etc. and also fought in “fifteen mortal battles” (Chaucer 63) and “always killed his men” (Chaucer 65) showing evidence of his devotion to his profession. This is the opposite of the Squire’s distracted attitude as shown in the text when it says, “He could make songs and poems and recite, /Knew how to joust and dance, to draw and write” (Chaucer 97-98). The Squire’s focus is fixated on his own entertainment instead of this profession, displaying how he is not as dedicated to his work compared to his father. Chaucer’s countless descriptions about battles in the Knight’s description shows how the Knight is chivalrous and dedicated, willing to fight solitarily in a moments notice, while in the Squire is more focused on himself than battles, showing how they both exhibit disparate approaches in relation to devotion
Paige, here are a few of the options I found. Going through your Pinterest, I see that your style is girly with a slight edge.
This essay will compare and contrast the work of two sculptors who use the human form as a basis of their artwork. The first sculpture “Apollo and Daphne” by Gian Lorenzo Bernini was created in 1622 and portrays a Romanian story. Where as “Two Women” by Ron Mueck is a hyper realistic sculpture made by an Australian contemporary artist.
Bright colors jumping at you asking for attention, images so real viewers can not tell the difference. These are the thoughts that came to my head as I gazed at two works of art by two Mexican artists at MoLAA museum of art . I visited two museums, Bowers Museum of cultural Art in the heart of Southern California and the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach for my report unfortunately I only liked the works in MoLAA and will talk about it through out my paper. I will talk about two Mexican artists Rafael Cauduro and David Alfaro Siqueros that caught my eye, and made me want to learn more of them and their approach to art. Siqueiros caught my eye and interest because according to his biography “no
Our world is full of so many grandiose monuments, eye-catching sculptures, and stunning statues, each having an individual story to tell. Thousands of them have been created however, only a small number of them are actually extraordinary and picture-worthy. This paper will compare and contrast two of those picture-worthy sculptures. Furthermore, I will examine the aspects of each of these sculptures. I will compare and contrast what each of them represents, the differences in texture, their size and their tone.
Art is all around us. There are many different forms of art. It can be something created, captured, or it can be already existent. Not a single person is to say what makes something art because there is a different definition for everyone. However, there are a couple factors that come into mind whenever someone decides to declare something as art. In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting four different pieces of art. I will be discussing each art piece’s form, time period of creation, intention or purpose, and value. These four pieces of art are Michelangelo’s Pieta, Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, Mark Rothko’s No.61, and the “Oyster Dress” by Alexander McQueen. These works of art come in all different shapes and sizes but they are valued
•The works of art must have a similar theme. For example: 3 landscapes, or 3 works that focus on religious content, etc.
Artworks are those that use natural tools in an aesthetically pleasing way, to express some deep meanings desired by the artist, for which this art is found. These works can be analyzed by looking at a variety of aspects individually and these elements are often called elements They are very useful for criticizing or understanding any artwork as a whole. The materials used by the artist creating the artwork in the documentary "Mystery Masterpiece", the shape of the work is the shape of which it is, including its size or its volumetric perception, and the artwork has three dimensions; the depth as well as the width and height, the three-dimensional form is the basis of sculpture, yet the two-dimensional artwork can achieve the illusion of the
