Art Vs Visual Art

Like the painting, the sketch exhibits a number of West 's finest imaging and clearly and convincingly depicts all of the feeling of a frightful scene. The larger oil on canvas work isn 't one portrait, but rather, a

In a world that has become immune to accepting all types of art, Marya Mannes believes we have lost our standards and ability to identify something as “good” or “bad”. In her essay, “How Do You Know It’s Good”, she discusses society’s tendency to accept everything out of fear of wrongly labelling something as being good or bad. She touches on various criteria to judge art, such as the artist’s purpose, skill and craftsmanship, originality, timelessness, as well as unity within a piece rather than chaos. She says that an individual must decide if something is good “on the basis of instinct, experience, and association” (Mannes). I believe that by using standards and the process of association, we will be able to judge what makes an art piece good in comparison to others. However, Mannes forces me to consider the difference between what may be appealing versus what is actually good, and when deciding which art we should accept, which is truly more important. I believe that “good” and “bad” are two ends of a large, subjective spectrum of grey area. It is possible for a piece of art to be good in some areas and bad in others, and if something does not live up to all of our standards, it does not necessarily mean it should be dismissed. Thus, I believe my personal standards for judging art are based on which my standards are largely based on the personal reaction evoked from a piece of art. Though I agree with Mannes’ standards to an extent, I believe that certain standards, such as evoking a personal response, can be more telling of if a piece of art is good as opposed to its timelessness, or the level of experience of an artist in his/her craft.

It seemed to me that I could hear the scream. I painted this picture; painted the clouds as real blood. The colors screamed" (Preble 52). Some people, when they look at this painting, only see

For centuries, people’s aesthetic value has been influenced by Rome's perfectionism, so do I. I used to think that artworks that make people feel appreciated are just equivalent to visual appreciation and satisfaction. However, after observing the painting and researching sources of this pieces of art I realized that an excellent artwork needs to cover all aspect requirements. For instance, an excellent artwork needs to contain a high operation of art skills as well as art knowledge in order to persuade audience. In addition, to qualify as a great artwork it has to create a substantial amount of activity in the audience’s mind or heart. When I look at an artwork I always try to figure out what is the artwork's message or what the artist is trying to communicate, to convey. Overall, I think a good artwork needs include some of the elements and principles of the language of art as well as the structure they give to be able to successfully communicate an idea.

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.

On buzzfeed.com, a quiz titled “Modern Art or Toddler’s Art?” pokes fun at contemporary art by presenting multiple images in pairs and you guess whether it’s a modern artwork or a painting by a toddler. People, including David, conclude that contemporary paintings aren’t art by comparing paintings like Rothko, Jackson Pollack’s Autumn Rhythm (Number 30) and Piet Mondrian’s Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red to paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Caravaggio. If paintings don’t appear to the ideas people have of art then it isn’t art. However, art is no longer what it was five hundred years ago. The masterpiece Judith Beheading Holofernes from 1599 by Caravaggio illustrates the Biblical story of Judith who saved her people by beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes (Caravaggio). Whereas, The Night Watch from 1642 by Rembrandt was commissioned by Captain Barining Cocq (rembrandtpainting.net) and Ruben’s Saint George Battles the Dragon painted between 1605 was commissioned for the Church of San Ambrosia in Genoa according to the Museo Nacional del Prado’s website. These paintings were created to commemorate a significant event or people and in the effect of commissions. As The Art Story states, “modern art represents an evolving set of ideas among a number of painters, sculptors, writers, and performers who - both individually and collectively - sought new approaches to art making.” Artists producing modern

Understanding art is often thought of as being an unreachable goal, but art should not be considered arbitrary because it influences the cultures and societies around us. The purpose of this paper is to define and also establish my opinions on Pensacola Christian College’s (PCC) definition of art, the bibliosophy of art, and Dr. Francis Schaeffer’s criteria for art. These topics are useful for artists as well as anyone else critiquing art, and can also serve as guidelines and standards for an artist when they create art.

What do you think the figure in the foreground is meant to represent? What face does the face resemble as it screams? Use one word to describe the overall feeling of the painting. The screamer twists and bends, mouth agape, hands clamped to his face, screaming.

Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about the importance of Edvard Munch’s contribution to modern art.

Edward Munch piece of art titled The Scream (1983) was created in Oslo, Norway. It is one of the most popular work of art in the world and it is currently located at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Most of the paintings created by this artist were done in oil, pastel on cardboard; including this one. The characteristics of this piece of art present a subjective perspective, the artist didn't fail to capture the feeling or experience of the figure, even though he didn't achieve complete or accurate depiction, which makes this painting of a impressionism style.

Criticizing artwork is very easy task to do by anyone, but understanding the meaning behind a piece of artwork can only be noticed by individuals with some knowledge of art. In certain occasions humans tend to ignore something that they don’t like, which might lead them to make negative conclusions about a subject. How an object is portrayed with the use of color, and shapes can affect the feelings of any audience. Art skills are developed throughout the life of a person, but only dedicated artists who are trained to receive criticism, or who are empowered by their artistic teachers tend to become more successful. Oscar Gutierrez is an artist who has four years of experience working as an art teacher assistant at his local high school,

In this painting, we can see a person (man) with a pale face, standing near a barrier with chaotic environment view in the background. The person in this painting is screaming, and we can detect that he is screaming because of his expression. The impression is that, his mouth and eyes are really open with his hands on each sides of his face. In the background of this painting, we can see different colors who indicate us the chaotic environment such as bloody red, orange, deep blue, and black colors. Furthermore, behind the main character we can see two people standing with their black silhouettes.

This painting was created during the time of Sigmund Freud. I found this very interesting since Munch himself lived a very tough life himself. Munch began to express his tormented inner world through his artistic creations, giving birth to an art style that would later be known as Expressionism (Art Analysis). Expressionism is defined as a form of art in which visual appearances are distorted to express psychological or emotional states (Getlein, 551). I believe that Scream may have been the very beginning of this form of art, since Scream evokes such an emotional response from its viewers.

The Scream has four versions and they are oil, tempera, pastel, and crayon on cardboard. The dimensions of the piece is 91 cm x 73.5 cm or 36 in x 28.9 in. Again, because this is another well-known piece it was the first I thought of when thinking about expressionism. When looking at this, it makes me feel lost or very anxious. When someone is screaming they can be either in trouble or very scared as well. Munch uses long simple brushstrokes or lines to make this have simplicity. The style is simple, which lets the artist utilize minimal strokes to achieve a lot of expressiveness. It consists of three main areas: the bridge, which extends at a steep angle from the middle distance at the left to fill the foreground; a landscape of shoreline,

The art world has a limitless array of mediums and different artistic periods, challenging the opinion of what should be accepted by the masses. "Expressionism is the art of the emotive, the art of tension provoked by consciousness of the forces which surround modern humankind." Challenging the academic traditions of the previous centuries, Edvard Munch impacted the art world as an instrumental leader in the development of modern German expressionism. His painting The Scream has made its mark in questioning the ideals of what is acceptable concerning the history of art. The paper will discuss Munch’s life history, uncovering the influences which led him to expressionism, as well as a detailed description and analysis of The Scream,
