Modern Art Research Paper

The evolution of Greek art has expanded over hundreds of years and has contributed to many artistic developments, especially in sculpture. The depiction of the human figure has drastically changed overtime from an undeveloped form to a more detailed rendering. This transformation can be seen from Early Bronze Age figurine models to Ancient Hellenistic sculptures. Examples of early figurines are small with disproportionate and unusual bodies while much later sculptures are large scale showing the importance of corrected bodily proportions. Tiny figures generally had the same poses lacking facial and body definition details while later sculptures have exquisite, clear facial features, and deeply chiseled bodies. The developments of sculptors

Imagine pondering into a reconstruction of reality through only the visual sense. Without tasting, smelling, touching, or hearing, it may be hard to find oneself in an alternate universe through a piece of art work, which was the artist’s intended purpose. The eyes serve a much higher purpose than to view an object, the absorptions of electromagnetic waves allows for one to endeavor on a journey and enter a world of no limitation. During the 15th century, specifically the Early Renaissance, Flemish altarpieces swept Europe with their strong attention to details. Works of altarpieces were able to encompass significant details that the audience may typically only pay a cursory glance. The size of altarpieces was its most obvious feat but

Florence requires more advanced education in the arts. I propose that a new academy be constructed in the city with the purpose of teaching these skills to citizens from across Europe. The main concern for this academy is the curriculum. First of all, there should be an emphasis on Humanism, because it’s a belief system growing in popularity that has been advancing the arts so far and has been restoring Roman design elements in all mediums of art, most notably observable in architecture and perspective. Next, I should specify the materials that will be taught. There will be a focus in architecture, painting, metalworking, ceramics and sculpture. There will also be a language requirement, calling for students to learn classical Latin and Greek while at the Academies, allowing for them to read original Roman and Greek texts. This will allow them to draw inspiration for their work. As someone who learned the secrets of Architecture by studying Ancient Roman structures and texts, I can attest to their ingenuity and knowledge, some of which, remains undiscovered. In addition, I propose that a library be constructed in order for students to have access to original Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman texts and sources. Finally, some

Even within the Hellenistic period, between 323 to 30 BCE and the ending period of Greeks in power, advancements were made to not only movement of the human figure in sculptor but what expression they held (Gardner 153). During this period Greece had become providence to Rome, and under patronage of Roman leaders came the marble statue of Lacoön and his sons, depicting story of the Gods revenge on the Trojan priest after his failed attempt to warn the Trojan army of the Greek’s plans with the wooden horse. Attributed to three sculptors, Athanadoros, Hagesandros, and Polydoros of Rhodes, this marble statue stands 7’ 10 ½ “tall, the tallest being Lacoön himself in the center and his two sons on opposite sides. The three men are twisting and contorting their bodies, attempting to free themselves from the massive snake sent by the gods, all three of their expressions show they are in pain from the strung. Lacoön’s face is contorted with the most agony from the snake biting him in his left hip (162). The expression of pain within all three figures shows the evolution of how Greek sculptors depicted humans in art, along with the advancement to how movement is portrayed. This statue would also play a role in inspiring how sculptors of the Renaissance would work with marble, and was even unearthed in Rome during this time, in 1506, in front of

In early Christianity there was a lack of art depicting stories from the bible, in the renaissance time period there were a lot of masterpieces being created and most of them were being created to exemplify the stories from the bible. Many artists became famous for eternity just by the designs the created. Some of the most famous artists that are still looked at and used today in schools when showing artistic styles are; Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael Sanzio, Leonardo da Vinci, and Albrecht Dürer. They all have their own stories behind how they became famous, but what each one has in common is that they were talented in their own form of art. It may have been in different forms such as painting, architecture, or sculpting but they all had an eye for artistic design.

The strong steady position of the statue and traditional dresses has been styled to show the kingship features of the statue. The human body has been stylized and not portrayed naturalistically. The purpose of this statue is not to show the beauty of a human body but to express the power of a Pharaoh of Egypt. In fact, from the style, one can easily tell that this is an Egyptian pharaoh without having to go through the artwork. (David, A. (2010).

The early Renaissance is often hailed as a period of artistic detail. However, critics might argue that at least as far as subject matter goes, the Renaissance very much alludes to the religious themes of contemporary art. What, then, were other differences from contemporary art in comparison to Renaissance?

Andy Warhol and Tommaso Guidi also known as Masaccio teaches one that art is not just a drawing it’s a connection to something so much bigger. Learning and understanding the message each artist is putting out is such a wonderful thing to encounter. This paper entails two artists who created two unique paintings using different things like silkscreening and photography. Understanding their art, learning about why it was created and their inspiration is a big factor. Through their art they are telling a story. Also to inform you on why the artists drew the paintings, where the painting were created, and what the paintings mean.

Everyday Sunday, some people go to church or take a morning jog, well my Sundays are a bit different. My Sundays consist of a two hour long drawing session in a little red square building called East Art Studio. I spent many years learning how to draw or paint even though I knew my mind was not set on becoming an artist. However, the years I spent drawing did give me time to reflect on my life. As a result, East Art Studios guided me toward a path I want to pursue.

The Art Deco movement started in Europe, in the mid 1920’s and continued through the 1930’s as counterpose to Art Nouveau. Its first exhibition was in Paris, in 1925, at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. Originally intender for architecture and decorative arts, this style quickly gained a lot of popularity through the whole continent and spread to America, where we can find one of its biggest and most representational expressions in the Chrysler Building, in New York. Even though Art Deco initially was an architectural style, it didn’t take long for this tendency to expand to other types of arts and crafts, and typography was definitely not an exception. In 1929, the commercial poster artist and typeface designer A.M Cassandre was commissioned by Dubonnete to create a series of posters to promote their wine.

This paper will focus on gender differentiation in Egyptian sculptures of the Old Kingdom Period and how this related to society’s view on gender and the different roles played by each. This will focus solely on the role of royals within the Old Kingdom. I would like to do this using the sculpture of Menkaure and His Queen. My thesis is that men are can be determined through the clothing, posture, body positions, and line details in Egyptian sculpture. The females will appear to be wearing a form fitting dress that is almost translucent on the sculpture as to show all the curves and female features on the body. The males will also be portrayed in front of female figures when the two reside in the same sculpture and will also be seen as larger

There is many classes and clubs you can take for your interests and needs. Some of these are art class, home ec., gym, or mass media. Today, I will be talking about art class and the benefits of taking it. There is so many things you can learn in that class.

I have many interests in visual arts, it is one of my favorite classes. It is one of my favorite classes because it allows me to be creative and use my imagination. The whole process of creating something then seeing it when you are finished is a really good feeling when you have put a lot of hard work and effort in it.

I have also taken the max number of art classes that you can take, 3D, 2D, Art 8 and Art studio. To take art studio you have to have already taken 3 classes of art either

A body can convey class, age, gender and sexuality. The ‘Bamana Twin Figures’ (Mali, 20th Century – Figure 1) is the representation of the Man and the Woman, a very powerful expression of male and female. Even though both their faces are exactly the same, the parts of the body can reveal the discrimination: genitalia, breasts and even hair. The reason why Egyptian art has not changed and looks very similar since 1479 – 1425 BCE up until now is very intentional; they are trying to maintain their cultural tradition in which argues for stability. The Egyptian pharaoh “Akhenaten’ (Figure 2) is unusual compared to other Egyptian figures, such as the traditional King, which has broad shoulders and muscular body. ‘Akhenaten’ is a lot softer and that encouraged people to think and believe that the body was portrayed in such way because of some sort of illness or disease, but Egyptian art was all about the concept and not the reality, it was just the idea of how it used
