My Progression In Art History

A primary objective in measuring productivity is to improve operations either by using fewer inputs to produce the same output, or to produce:

Finally, not only do we learn to be more conscious because of the arts, but we learn of the past from it too. Walsh writes, “Through art we learn the joy felt during times of happiness and we see the pain and despair during times of suffering...It shows us how those events impacted the people living them.” Students can be given a photograph of a painting--or can even visit a museum--and be told to study it. They will be able to see the movement in the art alone. As a result, the students will have time to think about what they are seeing rather than learning it from a textbook.

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

Overview, background: Enlightenment, (Newton & Galileo); Classicism/Romanticism (French & other Revolutions); Impressionism & Post (Industrial Revolution, Darwin), Modernism (WWI, Freud, WWII) Pop & Op (Vietnam, sexual revolution, Watergate); today (technological revolution).

It is believable that John Vanderlyn, in his painting Landing of Columbus, was trying to portray the success of Columbus and his crew. Columbus heroic stance and elegant expression are made all the more impressive in comparison to the native people who witness the event. The Native Americans are naked, fearful or subservient, bowing down before the explorer in awe and reverence. The symbols of empire are shown in the heroic explorer with his Christian crosses and steel swords symbolizing the significance in the power of civilization. In 1836 of June, Congress had commissioned John Vanderlyn to paint the Landing of Columbus. About eleven years later the painting was

Have you ever been to Iowa State University and seen all of the magnificent art that is located on campus? Iowa State is home to one of the largest campus public art collections in the United States. There are over 2,000 works of public art (George Washington Carver). The foundation of the contemporary Art on Campus Collection and Program began during the Depression in the 1930s, when Iowa State's President Hughes envisioned that, "The arts would

However, our trip did not last countless hours as I looked over 30 paintings in about twenty five minutes. This was not due to my lack of interest, but more to my novice mindset towards art. Art is similar to most skill activities in that people that are active in said activity can better understand and articulate the small actions that lead to a great piece of art, a great football play, or a great movie. I am embarrassed to say that I did not pay close enough attention to the intricacies of my dad's art, but I accepted to write these articles in hopes I could learn more about my dad's favorite past time.

Man Ray like many other artists did not care to have his personal life shown in his art. He wanted to be viewed and recognized for his work which included sculptures, paintings, and photography. Man Ray was mostly influenced by Stieglitz's photographs. Man Ray used a similar style to Stieglitz. He captured images that created an unvarnished look at the photos' subject. Man Ray discovered a new way to create his photos; by accident in his work room he discovered how to manipulate objects in his photos on pieces of photosensitive paper.

I was surprised when I saw your PowerPoint because all the pictures were from the actual Denver Museum Art. All these pieces of art you took were catching my attention and help me learned more about the Pre-Columbian Art. Therefore, your PowerPoint just made me realized that most of males and females arts are mostly nude, which I still don't understand why. In my opinion, some of the Pre-Columbian art is very interesting because is give me a hard time to figure what it was and every of their arts important to the Spanish history.

As I continue through my third year of my Art History Major, I find not only my knowledge but also my mind expanding into a broader range of relevance to my career and life goals. Art History is the study of social, economic, religious and political components, which shape history through aesthetics. Studying the environment and events that influence the artworks produced throughout history has drawn me to the history of Christianity and its effects on First Nations peoples in Canada. I come from a multicultural family where I share Beaver Lake Cree heritage from my Father and Catholicism from my Mother. The contrast between these two belief systems has brought my interest to understand events that occur and have taken place to those who I have met, and also their ancestors.

I enrolled in this class to challenge myself in learning and viewing art in another perspective. Art in general has always been my biggest love. Throughout my academic career I have taken multiple art classes and improved my understanding of the subject. Painting was and still is my favorite medium, but recently I found an interest in drawing, more specifically graphite drawings.

The Resurrection of Christ is from the Baroque period. This work of art portrays the sense of dramatic antagonism that Caravaggio achieved by manipulating light across full range of tones, changing the intensity and transforming its radiance this was done so that every beam and shadow expressed a dissimilar emotional content. (Sayre, 2010) In Rembrandt painting he focused on using emotional contrast between light and dark tones to emphasize the emotional difference. Here you can see pure light radiating out of the tomb of darkness. Christ himself begins to rise from the tomb in the light of true symbolic

Self-initiated learning is a key aspect of Rogers’ beliefs for a lasting education. He notes that when a student is fully engaged with the subject matter, they are more likely to retain the significant information they have been taught. When developing a curricular activity to represent Rogers’ experiential learning theory, we must remember to assemble a curriculum where the student can reflect on their work. As a secondary school art classroom focuses on work developed by the student, the assignments are often structured with a curriculum created by the educator. Assignments and art pieces are put in place to help the student learn the foundations of art and art history. Although students create the art pieces, they are often confined to the outline created by the teacher.

The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the

“Painting today is pure intuition and luck and taking advantage of what happens when you splash the stuff down. “- Francis Bacon. However when I learnt more about history of art and the way each movement and happenings in the world inspired artist to make new works, I was able to see much more than just a canvas with random paints and sketches. The interesting part about this concept is that each piece of art could be interpreted in many different ways. In contemporary art there isn’t right and wrong, each of us view and find different meanings and connections with artworks.
