The first art that interested me was the art of Indonesia which in this exhibit depicted the

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.

The Scarborough Museum is an educational place to visit in Toronto. People can learn about the history of Canadian families living in Canada during the early 1900’s and how they survived throughout the seasons. The Scarborough Museum is situated on a piece of land that once belonged to the Thomson Family. It has houses that had come from other parts of Scarborough. One of the house being the Cornell house. The Cornell house is Victorian style house built in 1858. It has a kitchen, an upper floor, which had bedrooms, a dining area, and a parlor room. In the kitchen, there is a stove which has multiple purposes; for cooking food and for keeping the house warm during the winter time. Learning about the stove was interesting because it shows

Art is one aspect of the past that has carried on for decades. Art in any form may it be poetry, novels, and playwright, sculpting as well as painting, has been an outlet for generations and continues to be an outlet and a means for expression. This paper will discuss “ The Mona Lisa” one of Da Vinci’s most famous paintings, as well as another great painting, Antonio Veneziano’s

The form of the piece expresses vibrant colors though details in the clothing. Many known Native American attributes are represented in this piece. The intricate beading, the buckskin skirt, the blanket and the moccasins she is wearing. The water color approach he used also creates a soft and spiritual image. The function of this piece follows the spiritual theme. This painting shows spiritual expression and sacrifice. The woman is raising her child to the heavens to be blessed. It informs the observer of the importance of spiritual involvement. The action

The piece of art that I’ve decided to do this research paper on is a ceremonial Inca Vase with Jaguar Handles. It is a popular vase within Inca ceramics. The Inca were a group of indigenous people who were possibly the world’s largest empire located in modern day Peru. They used a variety of craftsmanship, the most popular being the polychrome technique which portrayed a number of animals, waves, birds, and felines (Hood, 2017). These images were carried on throughout the Chavin culture and geometric patterns were found in Nazca ceramics (Hood, 2017).

The statue is leaning on the trunk, which shows that the woman is independent and probably has authority over some people. The woman is resting on her left arm, which shows that it is relaxed and patiently waiting for the artist to finish the work. The statute seems to resemble a woman who was well respected because of all the detail and design the artist did. Moreover, the figure has long robes which gives it detail and adds to it’s rich look. The clothing and reef make the statue look more formal and elegant like a goddess. By doing this the sculptor adds authority and power to the work. The work, however lacks color, but this doesn't take away from the natural look.

This sculpture is of a women breast feeding her child. The face of the two people is elongated, as well as the breasts of the mother. This is common to all African Art because they wanted representation of what is being expressed. In this particular sculpture, a supernatural power is being called upon. The power has been asked to protect the mother and child, and to

In this sculpture it is representing the highest level Africans of European Society. The bronze is creating an atmosphere of royalty. African women are queens. The iconography of this statue displays the earrings as apart of African American culture. Every feature of this statue is exhibiting the culture of African American culture; such as the hair, the hair-wrap it is a symbol courage and true homeland of Africa. Also, including, the resistance to loss self-definition. The arm bracelet. By contrast, her eyes tell a story of pain and happiness that is slowly growing.

As such some differences seen in these two ritual artifacts are the stylistic of the beadings, color, materials, and containers used to make such powerful objects. Furthermore, what these artworks allow for is a consideration of the evolving and changing aesthetics of ritual and religious art coming from Africa into the Caribbean.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is among the world’s largest art collections, and to be specific enough the most prevalent artwork in the western United States (Compton 165). This massive art museum has a collection of over a hundred thousand artworks, whose origin extends from the prehistoric times to present days (Gilbert and Mills 174). These collections are classified into several departments within the museums buildings, depending on their region of origin, culture they represent, and time period from which they were found. This paper analyzes the different genres of art found in this museum and explains the main features that make the African and Asian artworks, specifically the Islamic artworks, distinguish themselves as

Art from the ancient world is a window into the past. It can take numerous forms and have various meanings, some obvious and some hidden. The art can represent anything from a trophy to a sacred object. The one thing they all have in common was the artisans desire to create something special. This paper will examine and discuss specific pieces of art from six distinct ancient cultures by comparing and contrasting a chosen object from each respective culture.

Being at the Philbrook Museum with my classmates wandering the basement would end up with all of us alive and well. We would be scattered upon the floor, not really knowing where each other are, but we would easily find one another because we will all have the same plan of getting out of there. The use of our cellphones would really come in handy because we could play some bad music that might just make the mummies want to run the other way. If playing bad music does not work, I am sure the basement is also used as a storage for the museum, making it easier to find props that can be used as weapons.

In this assignment we look at how the Benin is able to concept the uncivilised nature of African societies. We will also look at the relationship between the Benin Bronzes, as African art, rather than modern art in the west. We know that the Benin bronzes are known to be of ‘aesthetic’, ‘spiritual’ and ‘sentimental’ value due to its symbolic appraisal of civilisation. They are also one of the most sophisticated pieces of art.

This was actually my first visit to this museum since I have gone to Kennesaw. My expectations were pretty high initially upon going, because I have heard so many things about it from my peers. Just by their opinions, and my love for art I have myself, I was actually excited about going in to take a look. I must say, I was not disappointed by any of the art work I saw in there. I really enjoyed the exhibit of work from some students from a high school around this area. It really shows that the college really supports the youth of the future and their passion for art as a whole.
