How Art Has Changed On The Viewer Rather Than Art Made

The Last Supper is a religious scene in the Catholic bible, which tells the story of the last meal the night before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. An important role in its religion, the Last Supper scene has been recreated by artists many times. These visual interpretations of the event generally show Jesus, surrounded by his disciples. During the meal, Jesus breaks the bread and serves the wine accompanied with the command “Take this all of you and eat it… this is my body… do this in remembrance of me”. Three artists who have produced paintings of the Last Supper include Leonardo DaVinci, Jacopo Tintoretto and Salvador Dali. Each of these artists interpreted the religious event and recreated it in terms

First of all, The painting of “The Last Supper “by Ugolino di Nerio, shows the twelve apostles sitting across from and besides Jesus Christ, the painting looks very crowded, as the ceiling and the walls are very close, with extreme proximity between Jesus and the apostles. The painting by Nerio is shown as if the scene was enacted in a closed room with no windows and no sunlight, Also, the heads on some of the apostles, look like it is twisted to the other side of their bodies, there is no gap to show a smooth head turn to the right or to the left. Nerio’s painting shows, eleven out of the twelve apostles exhibiting a golden circular plate or crown

Paleolithic, Neolithic, Greek and Roman art movements have seen many changes through the course of their time. These periods, have produced many tremendous famous works of art. Paleolithic art was one of the earliest and most natural form of art which they shown by painting in the caves. The paintings in the cave were very interesting to look at and caught my eye every time I looked at the paintings. Each of the paintings in the caves were somewhat different. I personally think they were painting inside the caves because they were trying to chase food, which caused them to not stay in one place at a time. As the time went on, the Neolithic age saw construction of monument structures. They noticed the structures since the people of Neolithic age became settled unlike the Paleolithic ages people who were out chasing for food. I strongly believe the Greek and Roman ages are very well known, unlike the Paleolithic and Neolithic ages. “Humanity, reason, and nature were central preoccupations of the Greek mind, together formulating their attitude toward life” (Rathus 296). When you are looking at their art you can see all the unique crazy designs and very skillful drawings which

Once humans entered the agrarian age, they began to create more than just tools for survival. Previously, humans had hunted for their food, taking down gigantic beasts with sharpened stones. Upon discovering they could grow and harvest food, these peoples shifted from a nomadic lifestyle to a settled one. Due to this change, human tribes were able to advance into a civilization. These people then had the leisure to think, create and imagine, and one of the many culminations from this new era was art.

Art is a particular form of social consciousness and of human activities, an important way for people to perceive, discover and improve life: according to the laws of beauty. It is the creation of tangible or intangible products containing great values of thought-aesthetics, cultural character, and emotions. In this sense, there are numerous types of art. Painting is one of the oldest forms of art on earth. From prehistoric times, artists not only used it to communicate, but they also used painting to entertain the viewers. Painting can be transformed, eliminating the tedium, fatigue, and stress in daily tasks to bring the joy. Fun in life or silence for the soul. In other words, painting is a language that communicates an artist 's ideas

Visual art discovered and dated back with the Stone Age people. They were the first people to invent a type of art using stones and rocks. They created rock paintings in caves and it was considered a form of communication between their people, as they didn’t have a form of language. This was essentially the first ever language made and it was very important. They also made different types of graves, which were all visually different like Megalithic tombs and dolmens. You could say they did this to establish differentiation between the types of graves from one another. After the Stone age I think the Celts were the next to advance in visual art with materials like stone and metal they would engrave symbols and designs to represent something important best example would be the Book of Kells. This book was full of illustrations and art about

Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” was painted during his time in Milan, which was from about 1495 to 1498. “The Last Supper” is a tempera and oil mural on plaster. He created this painting for the refectory of the city’s Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Also known as “The Cenacle,” this painting is about fifteen by twenty nine feet and is the artist’s only surviving fresco. The painting depicts the Passover dinner, in which Jesus Christ addresses the Apostles and says, “One of you shall betray me.” One of the painting’s most vivid features in the painting is each Apostle’s distinct emotive expression and body language. When the French in 1499 (invaded Milan) and the Sforza family fled, da Vinci also escaped. He was possibly the first to Venice and then to Florence.

Art in general is a form of expression. Individuals use art to express emotions, passion, or make a statement. Society can have an impact on how an artist chooses to express his or her sentiments. The beauty of it all is that interpretation is what makes art so unique. The same piece of art can mean so many different things due to who is looking at it. Just like everything else, art changes with time. There has been different eras in art that have impacted society as we know it.

Art originally in earlier cultures had a different purpose. Currently people create art for an aesthetic purpose for others to view in galleries, theaters, or museums creating distance for the audience. Initially art was created for purposes other than aesthetics, and people participated and interacted with the art and artist. This intertwined relationship between humans and art is especially seen in the Dineh and Wilbiri cultures. These two groups created drypaintings. People in both these groups directly interacted with the paintings instead of viewing them from a distance. Currently, there is a sense of distance instead of interaction. In these groups, humans participated directly with the artist and the art itself. In both

People started to make old styles of art that have not been used for centuries.

The Painting that we are writing about today is called the “Madonna the magnificat”, it was created in 1481, the painter is Sandro Botticelli, and the medium is tempura. This painting depicts Mary and baby Jesus, there is a lot of detail put into the symmetry of Sandro's paintings, and especially with this one because it is so close to the faces of the characters. The majority of Sandro's paintings are of biblical or mythological theme and the characters that are in his painting are always dressed like they are either royalty or they are actual mythological

Chapter 22 displays different renditions of the last supper including Leonardo Da Vinci’s (22-4) and Tintoretto’s (22-48). A third one by Paolo Veronese originally bore the title The Last Supper, but was later retitled Christ in the House of Levi (22-49). All three paintings are unique in their own ways. Da Vinci’s and Paolo’s are both painted from the same aspect, whilst Tintoretto’s is from a completely different angle. Da Vinci’s light comes from the bottom of his painting and distributes itself throughout, Tintorettto focused his light on his subject’s

Creating art is one of the single defining factors that set humans apart from animal species. Through art, humans are able to express their innermost ideas and feelings, without having the difficulty of trying to find the correct words to accurately describe their thought processes. Works of art can help us to understand the people who have come before us. This is evidenced by the knowledge humans have discovered of prehistoric men and their symbolic cave paintings. The expression, style, and meaning vary and archaeologists put in much effort to uncover these works.

Art is crucial to human evolution because it is both a medium of expression that allows humans to evolve and is also key evidence of human evolution. The development and evolution of the human conscious has a direct correlation to the art created from each time period and has allowed researchers to interpret it, using it as a gateway into early human life. Art acts as a window into the minds and lifestyles of our ancestors. It has influenced the development, evolution, and the process of natural selection through culture.

This could be true, but it just shows how life experiences also directly influence the outcome of a piece. If we look at periods closer to the present we can also see other strong examples of the relevance between art and the artist.
