Captone Project: Relating Science And Art

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.

In her third chapter of the 2010 textbook Look! The Fundamentals of Art History, Anne D’Alleva argues that when art is examined, it should be seen as a part of society and not just a product of society. By explaining the idea that contextual analysis examines the social, political, spiritual and economic significance she explores the challenge of performing a historical analysis on a piece of art stripped of its original societal and cultural context. D’Alleva’s purpose is to highlight this discourse through examples to provide a better process for interpretation of art. Her audience remains as those exploring art and its impact on culture, namely academically, positioning herself distant from the material exempt when providing examples. The

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.

Lorraine O’Gradys’ unintentionally historic performances, seemingly elevate everyday life to the status of art. In her ‘exhibit’ at the Studio Museum, her work is represented through photographs, in ‘Art is…’. Thirty years ago, O’Grady presented ‘Art is’ in the form of a float in the African American Day Parade right here in Harlem. Performers pranced with empty frames, metaphorically capturing fleeting pictures of the people and places that surrounded the route of the parade. By doing so, the trappings of high art were brought out of the museum, into the street, which promotes a new way people might begin to recognize this new art form in the celebrations of every day life. The

Prior to high school, my uncle was my chemistry teacher. As a food scientist, he was to me a great inventor who knew everything about the magic of taste, texture, and aroma; I still remember his lecture on “good” chocolate and how cocoa butter—solid at room temperature—melts readily in our mouths. Raised on an early appreciation for the power of applied science, I am now driven toward chemical science by a desire to uncover solutions to challenges in the modern world.

1. Do we create a hierarchy within archaeology of the tools/human fossils over the unknown objects/art objects by placing more importance on the sciences than the arts, i.e. we readily fund certain projects of a scientific nature (i.e. proving the missing link) vs projects of a purely aesthetic nature (restoration of pre-Columbian burial wrapping weavings)? What motivates this hierarchy, if a hierarchy exists?

4. Express themselves through their writing by posing questions, making original claims, and coherently structuring complex ideas;

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.

The uranium salts also have a secondary effect as this glass will fluoresce, or glow, a bright green color under an ultraviolet light source such as a black light. Interestingly, many pieces of glassware have been found to glow, including Depression glass, custard glass, and Burmese glass, and are often sold as Vaseline glass. This does not indicate that they are true Vaseline glass as the most widely used definition for uranium glass states that it must first be yellow-green and then glow to a bright neon green under UV light. If it does not pass the first condition then the second condition does not apply.

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

Over time, the silicate-rich solution settles and the water evaporates, forming layer upon layer of silica spheres. The layers of precipitated silica spheres turn into a jelly-like water mass, producing a diffraction grating when the spheres are even in sizes and well-ordered. This creates a ‘play of colour’ from within the stone when it is moved and the light hits the spheres in different angles.

1. Discuss the impact of photography on the nineteenth-century landscape. How did it affect painting? What were the political implications of the medium? Use examples to support your essay.

Scientists and Educators have continuously struggled to convince Americans of the existence and causes of climate change. An even larger problem is the inability to express the threat that climate change poses. Evidence and scientific information are not enough for some people to accept the reality of climate change. People tend to rely on their personal experiences with the temperature and environment. Americans consume greater quantities and at a greater speed than a majority of the word. The average American ecological footprint is 9.0 global hectares. The environmental issues are severe in America and the impact the entire globe. Ecological art is an artistic movement to raise awareness and fight against the environmental damages caused by humans.

Glaze works as an outer coat of glass that fuses with the clay during the firing process. What's left of the water from drying evaporates out as the silica and metal mix melts and pools with the surrounding glaze to uniform in a coat of liquid glass that slowly cools and hardens. The pooling together is why overglaze of different colors will mix together. Gravity does affect the pooling as the glaze is pulled downwards if to many layers are put on. The glazes unlike clay can be fired to remix or thicken parts or the entire pot multiple times with have two fires never the same.

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
