Art And The Machine

Art is how you express yourself, and everyone does it in their own way, in their own style. I chose to write about the two following art works because I believe they have so many similarities but are done in completely different ways. For this comparison and contrast assignment the two works of art I chose to write about are called; End “Mixed Media” by: Terry Peterson,shown in the art building at Shasta College, and Forlakeph “Mixed Media in a Glass Jar” by: Gioia Fonda, also shown in the art building at Shasta College.

The speech was given in 1901 in the “Hull House” in Chicago to the Chicago Arts and Crafts Society, it was aimed into convincing the people who were involved with construction to create a community to sustain the sacred idea that the architects of the time called art (Patenting, 1). The speech was shown and given by Frank Lloyd Wright in the building, he was a major visionary and architect at the time so many looked up to him. He made the speech to explain his philosophy on the creation of his works and how he obtains the motivation and will to do so, he also wanted the community to understand the machine and how it was different from art.

The movie industry is for entertainment purposes. For many people, going to the movies is an escape; time to sit back and become someone else. However, once in a rare moment then a movie comes out that is not just foe entertainment and dares to address a controversial issue. “The Blind Side” and “Precious” are two movies that I was very surprised at my reaction to them. My reasons for wanting to see both movies were as different as night and day. I went to see the “Blind Side” because it is based on a true story and Sandra Bullock is the leading lady. Yet, “Precious” doesn’t have a famous leading lady, but the previews were so intense and so realistic that it pulled me in. “The Blind Side” and “Precious” are

In Grandview Boulevard, completed in 1974 CE, the artist utilizes painterly brushstrokes. The shadows of the trees that are painted dark purple appear to have more painterly aspects than the rest of the composition. From far away, the painting seems smooth and sleek, but up close, the individual thick brushstrokes can be seen. The implied texture of the leaves in the painting is sturdy and prickly, and the texture of the yellowed grass appears to be dry and coarse, however, the actual texture of the painting itself is smooth. The artist also uses both curvilinear and geometric lines. In looking at the trees in the painting, they are composed of primarily geometric lines (excluding the leafy top) that run in a

William Morris led the Arts and Crafts movement in the 1800’s. Some of his work, like this one pictured to the left, demonstrates the beauty of the simplicity in his work. William Morris was an artist, designer, printer, typographer, bookbinder, craftsman, poet, writer and champion of socialist ideals. He believed that a designer should have a working knowledge of any media that he used and as a result he spent a lot of time teaching himself a wide variety of techniques. He also founded the Kelmscott Press which published high quality hand bound books and was very influential in the revival of the private press.

Art became wrought with emotions, glorifying history and nature, in response to the Industrial Revolution’s standardized machinery

The Arts and Crafts Movement started in England during the 19th century evironmental effects from the simple and repetitious designs that were derived from the machine-made products during the industrial revolution. Philosophers of the Arts and Crafts movement determined that designs being created lacked aesthetic value. During that time the dull designs associates to the extensive use of machinery and the loss of the personal human touch.

Artifacts that they may find would be such things like maybe household items such as tvs, computers, phones, etc. This would reflect that we had advanced technology. They would find cookwares like pots, pans, utensils and appliances like stoves and ovens, this would reveal that we knew such things like cooking. Other artifacts they might find are items like furniture, this might indicated that people took up roles in our society as craftsmen. They might find lost pieces of artwork, sculptures or even shards of pottery, this would mean there were many different sorts of artists in our society. Different areas of worship would be found like a church or an Islamic center, the anthropologists could even theorize that our society had many different

Marinetti addressed the “death” of traditional art in his Futurist Manifesto of 1909 when he stated “Why should we look back, when what we want is to break down the mysterious doors of the Impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We already live in the absolute, because we have created eternal, omnipresent speed.” Marinetti, among with artists of the Futurist, Vorticist and Constructivist movements of the 20th century, believed that mechanisation was fundamental to creating a new future where machines played a vital role in modern society. The traditional style of painting and sculpture — in accordance to Futurist principles — had no place in this new future. In this

Viktor Borisovich Shklovsky (1893-1984) was one of the founders of the intellectual movement OPOJAZ (Obščestvo izučenija Poètičeskogo Jazyka), also known as “Society for the Study of Poetic Language”. Furthermore, Shklovsky was a brilliant critic, closely tied to Russian Formalism and he became one of the most noted figures in the Formalist movement in the early twentieth century; “Shklovsky, Boris Eichenbaum, [Vladimir Propp], Yary Tynyanov, and other Formalists sought to put literary theory on a par with the natural sciences” (Davis 51). For one thing, these gentlemen sought to understand art by breaking it down into parts and identifying the different devices in play, “collections

The Arts and Craft movement was a social and artistic movement, which began in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century and continued into the twentieth spreading to continental Europe and the USA. Its adherents-artists, architects, designers and Craftsmen sought to reassert the importance of and craftsmanship in all arts in the face of increasing industrialization, which they felt was sacrificing quality in the pursuit of quantity. Its supporters and practioners were united not so much by a style rather than the common goal- a desire to break down the hierarchy of the arts and to revive traditional handicrafts and make art that could be affordable to all.

Digital art is a general term for a range of works by the artists who use digital technologies as a major part of the processes of creation and representation (Paul, 2006). Specifically, digital technology refers to the application of computers as media and partners for the artists in creating art works. However, digital industry is often a vague term and does not clearly define the final form of the art work. In his book called Art of The Digital Age, Wands (2006) has classified digital art works based on their final tool to digital prints, sculpture, installations and virtual reality, performance, music and art of sounds, video and animation, software, databank, and the art of gaming. He says although many digital arts including digital picture

Many factors have influenced the history and technology of painting such as geography, religion, national characteristics, historic events, and the development of new paint technology which help to shape society. In this paper I will start off by discussing the various technologies and tools that are used in painting today. Next I will go over the history as well as the earliest form of paintings which help shape society in that specific period of time. I will also discuss some of the new technological advancements in painting and other forms of art. I will go over the sociological and ethical considerations of art technology. This paper will also discuss the various paintings that were either influential or controversial for society as

The history of art dates back to ancient times. Artwork can be, and was, found around the world. What makes art interesting is that it can be created in any way, shape or form with any materials. It seems that the artwork can also tell us a lot about the artist. Art seems to be simply, a direct, visual reflection of the artist’s life. Therefore, one can assume that an artist’s life experiences and beliefs directly influence their art. If we look at examples from different periods of art we will be able to see the connection between the artist and the art.

Art has been around for nearly as long as the world has been in existences, Art is a creative expression with a variety of styles and interpretations. Century after century art has evolved from culture to culture evolving with each epoch; it has been criticized along the way. People do not adjust well to change and art is no different, but once people get over the initial shock they start to appreciate the valve art brings to each culture’s. I can attest to the fact that there is nothing more difficult than attempting to get a handle on the understanding of specific portraits, sculptures or some piece of architecture or trying to comprehend the methods of making these stubbing images. But once the initial stun is gone and when we have all assimilated this bit of visual information to our own jargon we start slowly start to price together what the artist is trying to articulate. Artist tend to indicate us better approaches to see commonplace things and how to translate new circumstances and occasions through different sorts of visual apparition. Some call this a creation of visual language; I like most learn and make judgments off of what is visually catching and the artists are intending this to happen. Art has been an imperative part of every society and can be seen in just about every aspect of our culture. Over time history has unmistakably demonstrated that art is more than what is perceptible by the each individual’s senses; however it is likewise an impression of how
