Hall Of The Bulls: Art In The Stone Age

The artwork I chose to talk about is on page 232. Figure 8.16, Funerary Relief of a Circus Official, Ostia, 110-130. The medium of the artwork is made from Marble relief. The Tombs in the old days of roman families built outside of the city walls, along roadways entering the city. The vision of the monuments is to preserve individual’s fame, family honor, and status in the society. The extended family of the deceased also held feasts and putting out food and drink for the dead for enjoying. The large figure in the picture is the official himself, holding hands with his wife at the left side. The handshake symbolizes in the Roman art the indication of marriage. The palm branch symbolizes the victory. There are many accents in the artwork

“The First Stone” is written by Don Aker and this book is based on two teenagers who have suffered very painful past. They both have lost one of their loved ones in their past. The main character is Reef’s whose parents and grandparents die when he was young. He was left to many foster homes because of his past. He got anger issues since his parents and grandparents died. He made very inappropriate decision that leads him to court and then to North Hills. Now he has to respect other and follows the rules in order to stay away from jail. I believe Reef could have changed his past. By his action, behavior and language but since he didn’t help himself, he now has to face his

There were many social and economic changes that took place in human development from the Paleolithic through Neolithic periods. First, humans invented agriculture to use in their day to day lives. Next, roles of men and women began to shift. Finally, another change between these two periods had to do with living quarters. Art was affected in all of these changes made during the transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic eras.

There are many great artist during the Renaissance some of them were Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. The main artist were Leonardo Da Vinci, and Michelangelo, But the most significant of them all was Donatello. Donatello was the greatest artist because of a lot of variables one of them is having the best variety of skill. In the Donatello DBQ it states “A student of the classics and a master craftsman Donatello was considered one of the founders of sculpting.” This demonstrates that Donatello had more than one skill and he can use his knowledge of all his skills and make them work together.

In the ancient Near East, human depictions in art varied over time and distance; as

Michelangelo is probably the most well-known painter of all time. He did works that none have been able to accomplish. He had artistic talent in almost every area of study. He could paint the most complicated and difficult tasks, an example: painting a ceiling with great detail and story. The ceiling of the system chapel in part shows the separation between God and man as it shows Adam’s arm and finger stretching out to touch God’s. The Greek’s muscular form makes a comeback in this era also, as can be seen through both the Sistine chapel as well as the statue of David. Another popular painter of the time period was Raphael. One of Raphael’s most famous and well known paintings is the School of Athens, which depicts many popular philosophers of that day, as well as past popular philosophical

One of the earliest evidences of the belief in a higher power comes from deep within the “Lascaux Labyrinth”, a deep cave “decorated by our Paleolithic ancestors in the stone age, seventeen thousand years ago”(Armstrong 2). The great numbers and locations of art within the Lascaux and surrounding region gives evidence that these were sacred places for the purpose of rituals, and some have compared these dwellings to temples (Armstrong 3). Whether art within cave dwellings dating back to the Paleolithic era, to magnificent churches rising to great heights around the world, the wondrous temples of the Mayans, a mountain that appears to seamlessly morph into the city of Machu Picchu, to trailers, tents and fortified compounds, belief in a power higher than one’s self has been deeply ingrained throughout centuries and a multitude of cultures. These different places are what many refer to as a church, a place to record and follow the rituals specific to their belief and to worship. Through the generations of the development of the human psyche, belief in a higher power is taught young and ingrained for many, yet meaningless for some. Furthermore, throughout the evolution of many centuries, it is inevitable that branches of these religions will follow a different path, create new churches to better practice their views of religion, and for some, belief in a higher power can be contorted to the preaching’s and worship of hate. There is a fine line between preaching scriptures and

The first painting to catch my eye was the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, which was painted by Albrecht Durer around 1519. The German artist lived from 1471 to 1528 and is considered by many the greatest German Renaissance artist of them all. Albrecht Durer used an oil medium on a wooden support to

The artist that I chose is Giovanni Battista Gaulli who is also referred to the name of Baciccio as well. He is from Italy and lived in a place called Genoa and was born on May 8, 1639, and was baptized on May 10th two days after his birth and then lived the remaining of his life until his death in 1709. Gaulli, lived there with his whole family up until the age of eighteen when his family passed away from the plague which then he became an orphan. Gaulli then decided to leave for Rome to start a new life. He was an adamant and determined young man to have so much unfortunate in his life with his family dying like that and then setting off to try and make a life for himself in Rome, Italy.

The Egyptian city of Amarna was a capital built by the Pharaoh Akhenaten which was abandoned shortly after his death in 1332 BCE. The city of Amarna was where Akhenaten pursued his vision of a society dedicated to the devotion of the power of the sun god, the Aten. It remains the largest accessible living site of Ancient Egypt. It is a key to the history of the religious experiences of Egypt and to a fuller extent the life of an egyptian. There is no other site like it. The website mentions that the site is in danger of encroachment. This sounds very interesting to me and I’d like to see how the life of an Egyptian was at the time. I don’t know much about the Egyptians, but I’d like to learn more

Art is something that has been around since the existence of man. Nevertheless, the versatility that comes with art makes every piece of art unique and incredible. With this uniqueness being very noticeable by those who know art, many artists take this sense of uniqueness and create art in certain ways to make their art personal. With thousands of different styles and mediums of art, artists have the world in their own fingertips. In the past, many famous artists have set the stone for certain styles of art, and really allowed them to expand for the world and the artists of this day to use, admire, and enjoy. Out of all the artists that have come to be, I believe that Paul Signac made a huge contribution in the aspect of impressionism, pointillism,

The core of a pencil, confusingly named the “lead”, is formed from a naturally occurring element known as graphite, discovered in the Lake District of England in the early 1500s. Graphite is not the first example of an element hewn from the ground and used as a mark making tool - this process dates back to the very first examples of human art seen in prehistoric cave paintings which were created using both charcoal and chalk in the era between 40,000 and 10,000 BC. These substances were ground and mixed into a paste with either saliva or animal fats and smeared onto the porous cave walls. So important were these prehistoric paints that the painters travelled far and wide to obtain the pigments.

view of the Paleolithic period. Also, the people and animals are presented in groups rather than just individuals. Artworks of this time period often told narratives, rather than just being pictures. Another important fact to note about artworks of this era is that plenty of them show facial features and are additional detail than the previous Paleolithic art.

when it comes to art, only one shrewd artist come to mind, Leonardo De Vinci. Leonardo De Vinci painted the world's most-famous painting the "Mona Lisa", a prominence piece of art because of Mona's uncatchable smile. Moreover, there are no authentic data concerning the techniques or the affect Leonardo used in this particular painting. Additionally, his talent transcends the basic limits of art, and most of his works are vibrant obviously using bright colors.Furthermore, Leonardo's works are often agrarian that is concerning farming considering the fact he actually grew up near the lower valley of the Arno river. In addition to his virtuosity is shown once he holds a brush against a canvas as it presents the aberrant fine art.

Michelangelo Buonarroti, what a Legendary and world-renowned artist and sculptor. Known as one of the best Italian Renaissance artists of all time, Michelangelo has surely made his mark on the world. He worked delicately with precision to craft sculptures that looked like it could come to life. Also, he taught himself how to paint frescos, the most difficult painting style, all by himself. His works like the statue of David and the paintings of the Sistine Chapel are recognizable throughout the world by billions. People also admire him because of his many amazing accomplishments throughout his life and his many abilities, he is truly an extraordinary artist.
