Art Class Philosophy Research Paper

The definition of art is notoriously difficult and is a field of philosophical inquiry as such. The meaning of the word "art" are multiple, sediment and cross each other in the language. Missing uses of the word are present in expressions and help to make the subject more that difficult. However, according to my studies, art is an expression, a symbolic way to communicate. Its key is to make something subject or scientific, for instance: an object that went through certain modification would be consider an art. We have a different type of arts but I will only be focusing on this tree types: prehistoric art, art of the ancient near east and art of ancient Egypt.

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

When I was in 7th grade, I was happily chosen to participate in the elementary school and middle school

Art, an unexpected passion, truly surprised me. Ever since I was little, I was never artistically inclined. In fact, in middle school, the best artworks I created were collages, as further evidence of my absent artistic talent. What I lack in talent, I make up for in memory, passion for knowledge, and an eager curiosity. Art History

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

Over the years, I have flirted with visual art. It started with pencil drawing, continued as an affair with marker illustration, then a dalliance with lettering, and I now have a relationship with photography. However, my favorite art will never be displayed in museums or galleries. It is not static and immutable. Rather, my chosen medium is fluid, living, volatile. No matter how well rehearsed, it will never be the same again. That’s the beauty of performance art.

Throughout all of high school my friends and I spent the majority of our days in the art room. It was always assumed that there would be at least a few of us there at all times, starting our days there, being excused by our teachers to go there during class, during lunch, between every class, and then for hours after school. The art room was practically a second home to all of us. With the best high school art program in the state paired with a school of students who have been taught to appreciate art all throughout school; amazing, talented, passionate art teachers; and extremely dedicated art students who, on top of normal classes, were taking on very intense art courses, those who invested the time became quite advanced art students.

This quarter I have Sam in Art Explorations. He is currently missing 2 out of 4 assignments.

Christian art is classified as Byzantine, but It is also very difficult to know when Christian art

There exist distinct differences between the pre-unification Theban and the block statue style that that was initiated in the Twelfth Dynasty. The face and the ears of the Theban style are large and quite conspicuous while the head was proportional to the body size, which looks like there was an exaggeration of artwork. On the other hand, the block statue had small ears in addition to a tiny head compared to the rest of the body. The block statue also had narrow shoulders with arms that were quite thin and no muscles; however, the Theban one had narrow shoulders with some muscles. Additionally, the block statue had thin legs while the Theban one was a bit large and proportional to the body. Additionally, the eyes of the Theban style are outlined

All over the world, art is used to represent many things, especially the artist's imagination

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

Introduction Any discussion of the role of texts and art works in changing the status of art and artists, wherever the location, has no option but to place art in an historical, sociopolitical and cultural context. Art cannot be taken as an entity in and of itself, or be placed outside of the above frameworks. The scope of this discussion cannot feasibly include a thorough history of European art from the decline of the Roman Empire to the rise of the artist in Renaissance Italy and beyond the Alps. It will, however, attempt to condense certain points which will allow some historical context to lead it into an understanding of the roles of texts and works of art in changing the status of art and the artist. Many questions arise, not least

R. G. Collingwood begins “The Principles of Art” by determining to define what is a work of art. He suggests it is made, but not by turning a medium into some thing, and not by use of planning. Here Collingwood considers that it should be determined what sort of “making” it is when art is made. It is not construction, like a bridge, nor is it accidental. In the past, it was thought that neither the skill of the artist nor his conscious mind had anything to do with art, for it was inspiration given by God that caused the artists to make something. Collingwood questions whether it is even necessary to theorize about art in order to solve the issue of what defines art. He suggests the term for how art is made should be simply “creation.” According to Collingwood, a creation is something “consciously and voluntarily” made. He asserts that creation is not done for a purpose, not planned ahead, and definitely does not change the state of any “raw material.” Art works are made with awareness by people who do not have an end in sight. Collingwood pointedly remarks to people who would take offense at the use of the word creation that even though artists create, they are not doing so in the same way God is said to create, so artists are not being considered gods in any way.
