How Memories Affect Pieces Of Art

While the painters after the Impressionism period were collectively called the “Post-Impressionists,” the label is quite reductive. Each artist had their own unique style, from Seurat’s pointillism to Signac’s mosaic-like divisionism, Cezanne, Émile Bernard, and others. These artists were all connected in that they were reacting to the aesthetics of Impressionism. Two of the more influential painters from this movement were Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, who aimed to connect with viewers on a deeper level by access Nature’s mystery and meaning beyond its superficial, observable level. However, each artist’s approach to achieving this goal was different. In close examination of Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait (Dedicated to Paul Gauguin) and Paul Gauguin’s Self-Portrait with Portrait of Émile Bernard (Les misérables), one may clearly see the two artists’ contrasting styles on display.

Discuss why people can respond differently to the same artwork. People can respond differently to the same artwork because whatever mood a person is in can affect how that person responds to an image.

Artists use their artworks to communicate different meanings and transfer specific messages to the audience. Their artworks can be presented in different forms like architecture, drawing, painting, sculpture, pottery and many other forms. Each artwork contains a specific meaning which is usually based on the artist 's beliefs, culture, identity and the nature surrounding us. Rona Rubuntja from the Hermannsburg Potters, Bronwyn Oliver, Christo and Jeanne Claude each presented their art in different forms but they all communicate meanings and ideas to the audience. Rona Rubuntja who is a senior member of the Hermannsburg Potters and her famous pottery work ‘I 'm Black’ for the exhibition ‘Our Land is Alive’ at the National Gallery of

Memory is a set of cognitive processes that allow us to remember past information (retrospective memory) and future obligations (prospective memory) so we can navigate our lives. The strength of our memory can be influenced by the connections we make through different cognitive faculties as well as by the amount of time we spend devoting to learning specific material across different points in time. New memories are created every time we remember specific event, which results in retrospective memories changing over time. Memory recall can be affected retrospectively such as seeing increased recall in the presence of contextual cues or false recall of information following leading questions. Memory also includes the process

When I was assigned this project I had a hard time choosing an artist. I really do not know much about influential artists so I was pretty lost. I thought I would chose someone everyone knew about like Picasso. But they did not meet the criteria for the artist we were supposed to chose and I would not have a lot to say about them besides the obvious that everyone knew. I realized that I did not have too much to say about them. I needed to write five pages about a artist. The artist I chose would have to be someone more interest , someone I could relate to someone's work who inspired or influenced me. I did a lot of research and I stumbled upon Kara Walker.

Mary Cassatt is known world-wide for her impressing art in which she focuses mainly in the everyday life of women and children. She is an American artist born in Pennsylvania on May 22, 1844, but later relocates to Europe in 1866 to pursue to work in art. This was mainly due to her family’s and society’s objections to women in the field of art. There she met and befriended famous Impressionist Edgar Degas. Because of her close friendship with Degas, she grew courage to continue to do art in her own way. She continued to paint until she slowly began to lose her eyesight and later died in 1926. Cassatt was part of the Impressionist style movement, in which she painted portraits unlike many others who painted landscapes (biography.com). Her artwork

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

Which word is easier to picture, house or honor? Both begin with the letter h, both are five letters long and most people would like to possess both. However, the word house is a concrete idea, meaning that it is a physical item that can be perceived with our senses. This is not true of honor which is an abstract concept with no physical properties and therefore beyond our senses. Studies have shown that concrete words are easier to imagine and therefore to recall (Binder, Westbury, McKiernan, Possing, & Medler, 2005; Fliessbach, Weis, Klaver, Elger, & Weber, 2006; Walker & Hulme, 1999). However, this is not the only factor that can affect recall. Studies have shown that how information is remembered can be just as important in

The two concepts that I resonated with are Memory and the Psychodynamic theory. Starting with the Psychodynamic theory is an approach to psychology that studies the psychological forces underlying human behavior, feelings, and emotions, and how they may relate to early childhood experience. This theory is most closely associated with the work of Sigmund Freud, and with psychoanalysis, a type of psychotherapy that attempts to explore the patient’s unconscious thoughts and emotions so that the person is better able to understand him or herself. The second one is Memory; understanding how memory works will help you improves your memory. Which is an essential key to attaining knowledge. Memory is one of the important cognitive processes. Memory involves remembering and forgetting. I chose the two concepts because throughout the class they stood out to the most. Understanding the conscious, subconscious mind and also memory. I’m interested in understanding the human behavior.

Scenes From a Memory Nicholas was just a normal people. He worked, slept, and ate just like other people. Until one day something unpredictable happened to him. It was 2001, when Nick got a strange dream. This dream happened again and again every time he slept.

Tracey Emin is a British artist, part of the Young British Artists movement, and a third-wave feminist. She works in a variety of media, although I am mostly focusing on her textile work. Most of Emin's work is deemed as sexually explicit and controversial. I am studying this artist and her textile work because I like the way that she takes taboo subjects within feminism and her personal life, and incorporates these subjects into her practice which strikes up a conversation between her viewers. This is what I hope to do with my own work.

Of all of the extensive character traits of the characters in Memory Wall, one I wish I could develop in the near future is Imogene and Herb’s ability to never give up and to always try again, even if they fail over and over again.This trait isn’t revealed until near the end of their story, but when you find it out it hits hard and makes you wonder how the story plays out afterwards. Imogene and Herb have the desire to have a family together, but various diseases stop them from being able to. Doerr writes, “The doctors discussed the situation. Dual-factor infertility” (93). This causes Imogene and Herb to try a fertility clinic, and they take many medicines and chemicals to attempt to have a child. It fails, and Herb

As such this artwork is autobiographical, with the main subject being herself. Her art is largely influenced by her life, and is subsequently self-expressive, and whilst many women relate to her artworks, she is not seeking equality with men. Emin is simply stating, this is me, this is my life and yes I am a female. Emin is, however, also commenting on the freedom to have sexual encounters with whomever she chooses, and with however many. It is this narrative that causes some viewers to immediately categorise Emin as a

Memory is defined as "the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information." Our memory can be compared to a computer's information processing system. To remember an event we need to get information into our brain which is encoding, store the information and then be able to retrieve it. The three-stage processing model of Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin suggests that we record information that we want to remember first as a fleeting sensory memory and then it is processed into a short term memory bin where we encode it ( pay attention to encode important or novel stimuli) for long-term memory and later retrieval. The premise for the three step process is that we are unable to focus on too much

Is artistic expression intertwined with the inner workings of the brain more than we would ever have imagined? Author and cognitive neuroscientist Semir Zeki certainly thinks so. Zeki is a leading authority on the research surrounding the "visual brain". In his book Inner Vision, he ventures to explain to the reader how our brain actually perceives different works of art, and seeks to provide a biological basis for the theory of aesthetics. With careful attention to details and organization, he manages to explain the brain anatomy and physiology involved when viewing different works of art without sounding impossibly complicated – a definite plus for scientists and
