Pros And Cons Of Visual Media

Probably one of the most popular art forms, is the amazing work they could do with blue and white porcelain. They were very skilled in this new art form, and were the only civilization that could make these beautiful pieces. Still to this day, it is hard for anyone

The first way art changed was when humans began to develop a system of agriculture. This ensured that humans did not have to move place to place, which gave them time to focus on other things (though it prevented them from making frequent cave paintings, as they no longer needed the caves to dwell in). Weapons were easier to make, and come across, although the types of weapons changed, along with the kind of materials and metals they were made from. In Paleolithic times, people used flint, hunting spears, and even animal bones as weapons. When the Neolithic period began, they used blades, hammers, and chisels instead. They used these as their tools for farming and hunting, as they no longer needed to worry about being so accessible to predators. As Neolithic people no longer had to search for food and water, they needed items to carry the things they collected back to their villages. This is when pottery becomes popular, not only to carry the people’s items but also to advertise their beliefs through religion.

Art had played an important role in building up civilizations from all over the world through thousands of centuries. It is and will always still the way of projecting artists’ ideas and thoughts into meaningful and tangible objects which we called “work of art”. In addition, It was the path through all these years that dug its way to reach to our current century to show us the beauty of every single era starting from the Upper Paleolithic Period of time (42,000 – 8,000 BCE) reaching to our contemporary artists of today.

In the introduction to Practice of Looking, Sturken and Cartwright mention how now in the world “the visual matters more than ever” (Sturken and Cartwright 1) in terms of us being connected to the world and the things happening in it. This statement caught my attention because social media uses visual confirmation of world matters to prove its authenticity. Like the protestors in Ferguson, Missouri use their cameras to give proof of police brutality for the world to see. People even use photos for simpler world recognition like putting a photo of scenery they thought was beautiful or just to post a “selfie” to show their friends. Social media and photos/videos show the world what is going on in each individual’s life around the world.

It seems that almost all early art has its roots in religion. The Christians used it, as well as the Taoists, Buddhists, Hindu, Jewish, and Muslims. They all used decoration, sculpture, architecture, and painting to depict their faiths in a higher power. Art was a reminder of good and evil, life and death.

Chapter 1 focuses on the prehistoric art of two different cultures, which include Paleolithic Art and Neolithic Art. Paleolithic Art began during the time period of the Ice Age that dates back to about 10,00 to 40, 000 years. Moreover, as the Ice Age began to decline, new vegetation appeared and an increase of other animal populations allowed the growth of Neolithic Art referred to as the New Stone Age. Even though these cultures were divided by different time periods they both have some similar techniques. For example, both regions had figurines, but they had a different aspect pertaining to their culture of art. Also they both painted animals, but the style and type of animals differed because of the region. However, most of the painting,

The collaborative creative work was a group performance for the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) class. The performance explored notions and concepts of technology as a tool for art, which was a predominant component of the course over the semester. The intention of the group was to examine, analyse and discuss how technologies can alter multimodal texts and the effect and impact this has on the text's original form and audience. This essay will provide reflection and critique on the process, collaboration, group contribution and final performance, and whether or not what achieved what we set out. This paper will also examine issues, topics, structure and how we ended up with the idea of technology influencing the form media.

The earliest recorded of art was around 25000 BCE and before this time. This art included pieces like the Venus of Willendorf. The Venus of Willendorf is a figurine that was found in Austria featuring a female carved from limestone. This is not the only Venus figurine found, others were made with bone, ivory and clay. Also all of the Venus figurines have a diamond shaped. Many prehistoric art involved sculptures. A lot of Neolithic as said before cannot be proven as religious but this is starting off art we have today which we need to review over. Some prehistoric artwork includes the Jiahu Carvings, the Jiahu carvings were dated back to 7000 BCE and are made out of red crown crane bone. they are flutes with 5 to 8 holes these were supposedly used for rituals. Another piece of artwork can be known as the Niola Doa. The Niola Doa was found in Africa and is dated back to 3000 BCE.

Beginning with the earliest forms of art, we refer to Paleolithic or what is also known as the Stone Age. We have learned that people at this time, were mobile as they migrated from place to place as hunters and gathers for food and survival. Art is considered the earliest form of communication and was either portable or stationary, and these forms of art were limited in their scope, due to their limited free time.

The representation of art has evolved over many years. The meaning of why the artwork was created has never been the same. The minds of the artist changed through each century. The paintings they created showed more detail and used newer techniques. Before the evolution began artworks were not made with such tools/equipment that we use for today’s artwork. The Paleolithic and Neolithic Era were the earliest time periods artwork was discovered. The representations were the beginning to an evolution of art.

Drawings were once drawn on wooden blocks, known as paper to people in the 21th century, and they could be wiped clean after using it once or many times. Drawings were used as a fundamental of the human experience. Egyptians used this art media to tell stories of them hunting and killing the biggest animal in the land and maybe see someone getting killed by an animal or anything else that they could have killed them.

The structure of the essay was a bit muddled in my opinion as it seemed to begin so clear in stating what the essay was intended to discuss, but as you read on, it began to drift away from the arguments of the relationship between traditional closed spaces and the digital open spaces, and examine the aura of an image and the idea of a copy and video relating to digital images in the way that each digital image is its own original because the image changes as it travels through the data process. Although the two points made by the author open your mind to think about the digitalization of art, it causes the reader to lose focus on the true statement behind the

Again I quote, however: deep written text. Much of our digital media is oriented towards visual comprehension, such as photography, advertising/branding design, even emojis. They all convey a quick, attention grabbing assessment of the mindset, goal, and themes of the media, as opposed to the more time consuming, consideration oriented

The evolution of humans throughout our ancient history has brought about creativity. With this acquired trait we see sites like Knossos,Stonehenge, and Valley of Kings using their creativity to build or create something that had never been done before. For example, at Stonehenge people came together to build and how at the Valley of Kings they would create lavish personal items. You can also speculate that their creativity aided to their spread of religion because with being creative comes critical thinking. Also, with the formation of religion came the artistic side which used creativity to create lavish tombs to honor those with a high-class status.

Nowadays, technology is an essential aspect of our daily lives. Technology is continually increasing its functions and the way we communicate with the rest of the world. From the views of modern people, within all technologies, digital technology contributed most to various technological improvements, which have developed and changed society. Digital technology is the basis of almost all the software and based on the binary code which is a coding system that representing a letter, digit, or character in an electronic device by using the binary digits 0 and 1. Both households and businesses use digital technology for different purposes, like artificial intelligence, business, and communication.
