Bowl With Arabic Inscription

Then there are also many psychological lines to be seen in the work. One such line is of the woman and the floor, where she is staring down towards it. Another is from the young child and the store clerk, showing a defiance between the two. Next, light and value are not very contrasting in this painting, with only the basic highlights and the shadows seen. It isn’t completely contrasting or contradicting since the colors blend well together with close to the same value ranges, dark colors seen throughout except for the people’s pale faces. There also seems to be a variety of light sources since the woman’s face along with the shop clerk and the young boy’s is lit up by what seems to be a light bulb since they’re much brighter and highlighted and then the men and women in the back aren’t really as bright, except for the ones who close to the open door, creating a blue tinge from the outside light. The shapes shown through the painting is shown to be either very round or very geometrical. There are organic shapes in things such as the umbrella or even the back of the chair, but mostly it is either straight lines and geometrical shapes. The volume shown in the painting is very much implied, correctly showing the

The Greeks took care of the dead by washing them, putting them in tombs, and bringing offerings to their grave. The women’s role was to wash and wrap the dead bodies in cloth. They also decorated them with flowers and herbs. The men dug the area in which the body was to be buried. On this first piece of pottery, it looks like people are walking as if they were in a funeral procession. Women are surrounding the dead person and men are following the women. The pottery has a top that looks like a funnel which comes down and narrows out into a long neck. At the bottom of the long neck it starts to get wider and forms a shape that looks like a vase. The vase sits on a very small pedestal. On the sides of the narrow neck there are two handles that look like very long and thin wings. On the neck of the pot, there is one women standing there. The design above her head looks like a wreath. She looks like she is crying over a body. She is on top of everything that is on the pottery which leads me to conclude that she is an important part of this piece. The dead person may have been her son or husband. At the bottom of the pottery there is a design that looks like black spikes. The pot is entirely black with the picture in gold paint. This pot was called a Loutrophoros. It was used for holding water to wash the dead body. After the body was buried, the Greeks put offerings on the graves of the people who have passed away. This next

This jar have yei’ii design and is at 8 ¾ tall and 8” wide at the handle. This is one of the Faye Tso’s pottery that have won the Second Prize in 1993 during the Museum of Northern Arizona Navajo Artiests Exhibition. This pieces and with other large pieces of pottery like the vase with yei’iis and human figure and the water jar with horned toads. These clay sculpture were made by Myra Tso, Faye’s daughter and it was to honor her grandfather, who sang and prayed for her. The design of horned toads on the pottery are very special because the toads was use in a ritual for praying. All ritual and ceremonies are essential parts of the Navajo way as well as sand painting art that was inspired by those that created ceremony. The dust from gold, diamonds,

The Beaker with Ibex Motifs is a prehistoric pottery art work, found in near-perfect condition during a 1906-1908 excavation of a Susian necropolis in Susa, Iran.

The artist pays very little attention to details choosing instead to use hieroglyphs to ascertain meaning to what he was trying to portray. The hieroglyphs he uses range from the identities of the god and goddesses to the inscriptions on the top of Prince Ankh-Nef-Nebu to the message at the bottom.

After weeks of working I made a total of three pottery pieces, the one that I spent most time on is a clay pot that was made to look like an ancient greece piece of art. They used as grave markers and many other useful things. Back in ancient Greek pottery was divided into four different areas. These areas are for storage and transport vessels, mixing vessels, jugs and cups, vases for oils, perfumes and cosmetics. Many believed that Greek pottery, unlike today's pottery, was only fired once, but that firing had three stages. When firing their art pieces the kiln was heated to around 920-950 °C. They technically decorated their pieces to tell a old story or to represent something, normally people in a darker shaded color. I chose this culture

pots were of a deep rounded form, painted on the interior in rose with wavy pale

The first vessel is a ceramic mixing bowl (column-krater), which is about 20 inches in height. The handles on each side of the vessel connect the rim of the vessel to its shoulder and serve as supportive items. Since the vessel is a bowl used for mixing wine and water, these columns also make it easier for people to hold it in carrying and wine pouring. The decoration of the vessel is left in the red clay color and the background is painted black due to the red-figure technique used in the firing process. The figures, such as the

Similarly to the previous painting, Brooks points out another foreign object in the picture. A pile of fruit in the foreground of the painting is held by a bowl from China. The blue and white dish would have been porcelain, and became a popular decoration in Europe to have. Brook also makes an interesting point that the letter that the woman is reading in the painting could be from her husband who is traveling for trade, possibly to bring home more Chinese porcelain to her. This part of globalization is interesting because it shows how people were fascinated by foreign objects, and to possess them became something that was special and a unique object to own. It could also show that you had money or traveled, having foreign objects in your

This primary source showing viking kitchen utensils can easily tell us that Vikings were very skilled workers with clay, when it came to bowls and utensils, especially since they didn't have the same tools that we have now. As the bowls are quite large it is believed that they were used for serving food, instead of plates to eat off. Clay pots were used in many shapes and sizes for preparation and preservation, therefore many different bowls were needed. Because these bowls look as if have been repaired it shows that they were of importance to the owners. If they were not important they would have been disregarded and a new one would be crafted.
