Diana And A Hound Research Paper

For this first paper assignment I have chosen to write my essay on The Funerary Model of a Pig Sty. This artwork takes place in Ancient China around c. 2nd century BCE. It was designed and used within the Han Dynasty early in China’s history. These clay models like the pig sty and other burial goods had a hand in furthering the development of Chinas cultural heritage and beliefs. Within this paper I will be discussing my chosen MIA artwork, works that are similar but different to this artwork, and also how all three works, although all different, have the same purpose for what they have been made for. Then finally touching on how the context of the piece can change based on its surroundings.

The beginning of “The Hound of Heaven” represents Dorothy Day’s childhood. The poem begins with, “I fled Him, down the nights and down the days/ I fled Him, down the arches of the years/ I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways / Of my own mind, and in the mist of tears/ I hid from him…” (Thompson 1-4). These lines symbolizes the escape that the author was making away from God. Thompson was running away from God and his responsibilities. While reading this poem, Dorothy Day immediately drew a connection. Growing up in a Christian family who rarely attended church sessions, Day did not know what she believed in. When she was young, she asked her mother why didn’t the family sing hymns and pray. She never got a satisfying answer from her mother.

This paper will focus on the Statue of Dionysos leaning on a female figure. Also known as the Hope Dionysos. The statue is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and is located on the first floor Roman and Greek art chamber. Upon entering this sector, you will notice a grand statue that catches your eyes and captivates you as it welcomes you in gracefully. The exhibition is set up in the back center of the room, and is noticeable due to the largeness in scale and the enigmatic yet calming disposition the statue portrays. My first impression of the sculpture was how detailed and realistic the statue is. Since the statue was so defined you would be able to identify what he was wearing and how his body was shaped to how long his hair was during this time period. I was profoundly intrigued by how peaceful the statue of Dionysos embodied and found myself coming back to it and looking in awe. In curiosity, I would choose this statue for my assignment because I wanted to learn more about the history of the Hope Dionysos. In this essay I will be describing my formal analysis of the artwork, the subject matter behind it, the artist and the historical content of the statue of Dionysos.

Various pieces of art found thousands of years ago depict characters based on certain events and legends. I will be analyzing two works of art: The Sound Box of the Great Lyre, a wooden music box (33 x 11 cm) found in present-day Iraq c. 2600-2500 BCE, and Lapith Fighting a Centaur, a high metope relief (1.42 m) on the side of the Parthenon in Ancient Greece c. 447-432 BCE. The former represents a bull with a low relief under its head, depicting animals mimicking the lifestyle of humans. The latter exemplifies a nude man struggling against a mythical creature that is half-man half-horse2. Although these works are from across the world with completely different cultures, they both have similar

Jean-Antoine Houdon lived between 1741 to 1828 and produced this statue in 1775. The statue is made of marble and is 31.5 x 17 x 12.5 in size. The statue was given as a gift to the Frick collection in 2007 by a Mr. and Mrs.Thaw. The sculpture is of a Marie Anne de Vostre who was a wife of a German banker named Pierre-Francois His. The sculpture stood out the most to me because of its realistic features in comparison to the surrounding statues. Even though the statue is made of marble a viewer could see the undulation of her curls, which frames her face very well. Houdon statue has a very smooth face and the statue hollows in and out in the right places of a real face. In addition, the eyes of the statue have the right little crease and a viewer could see the way the eye falls a little right behind the eyelid how a human eye does. Also her lips are slightly parted, which could mean she is on the verge of speaking. Another sculpture in the same room as Madame His was the statue of Diana the Huntress by the same artist Jean-Antoine Houdon. The statue was composed in 1776-95, made of terracotta and stands at 75.5 in. The statue was purchased by the Frick Collection in 1939. The statute has many interior metal armatures and is made up from 10 different sections. The Huntress Diana was a swift virgin goddess

On Saturday, January 17st, 2016, I visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, California. In the museum, I observed many pictures, paintings and sculptures within the exhibit of the museum. What interested me was this sculpture called “Sweet William” by John Chamberlain.

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

In this essay, I will compare and contrast two different sculptures from two different contexts of art. The first being an Olmec Colossal head (monument 1), from the context of “Art of the Americas,” and the second sculpture being ahead from Rafin Kura. The head from Rafin Kura comes from the context of “Art of Africa.” Both sculptures come from two different time periods and parts of the world. They also are both made with natural materials and have their own symbolic meaning.

During my visit to the Tampa Museum of Art, I observed and viewed various pieces from The Classical World exhibit. While I observed numerous works, I was drawn to a specific piece due to its uniqueness when compared to the other pieces in the exhibit. In this paper, I will be describing The Torso of Aphrodite, using my own viewpoints and the elements of formal art analysis, in order to explain the uniqueness when compared to other pieces in The Classical World exhibit.

Hounds Blue Moon, in Aurora, serves delectable American cuisine with a comforting spin in its welcoming and relaxing restaurant. The tangy beer batter pickled spears with honey mustard dipping sauce and the steak bites satay with spicy chimichurri sauce make phenomenal starters. Some of Hounds Blue Moon’s specialty entrée dishes include the crispy fish tacos with jicama mango slaw and chipotle ponzu sauce, the roasted garlic chicken breast with mashed potatoes and the pasta marinara. Handhelds, such as the smokin’ hot habanero burger with bacon, habanero cheese and caramelized onions and the beer-battered shrimp po’ boy with spicy chipotle mayo on toasted French bread, are also wildly popular with diners and pair well with one of Hounds Blue

With works in every known medium, from every part of the world, throughout all points in history, exploring the vast collection of the Museum of Modern Art was an overwhelming experience. The objects in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts are an important historical collection, reflecting the development of a number of art forms in Western Europe. The department's holdings covered sculpture in many sizes, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, jewelry, and tapestries. The gallery attracted my appreciation of the realistic qualities of the human body often portrayed in sculpture.

This paper will discuss relative points and insights relating to sculpture of the Paleolithic era, specifically the Venus of Willendorf, through the essays of Christopher Witcombe.

Our world is full of so many grandiose monuments, eye-catching sculptures, and stunning statues, each having an individual story to tell. Thousands of them have been created however, only a small number of them are actually extraordinary and picture-worthy. This paper will compare and contrast two of those picture-worthy sculptures. Furthermore, I will examine the aspects of each of these sculptures. I will compare and contrast what each of them represents, the differences in texture, their size and their tone.

African art has played an important role in the culture of the world. The sculpture is the most common traditional culture expression for the African art. The different sculptures are shown by their local styles and they serve for the specific functions, such as religion. From some of these old art pieces, we figure out this kind of traditional culture expression already existed in the African for such a long time. In this paper, the art piece I am going to analyze is the Female Figure with Child and it made by Akan-Asante people. The Akan people of Ghana have been recognized for their various and attractive culture and it located in what are today Ivory Coast and the republic of Ghana in Western African. The Akan people are combined by different groups, such as the Anyi, Akawpim, Akyem, Aowin and Asante, and these people have their own dialect, but they share a lingua franca, which called Twi. The sculpture I choose could effectively reflect its own distinctive culture, because of the social connection reflect on the royalty, the comparison with other local art pieces, like Akuaba fertility dolls and its specific art form.

This essay is an attempt to address the marble sculpture commonly known as Laocoon and His Sons, and why exactly I believe it to be a work of high art, of great value and significance to the species.
