Reflection About Art

My parent have alway said to me, never to give up on what I'm trying to accomplish or the goal that I'm trying to reach even though if it seems impossible. That they will alway support me on anything that I want to do, maybe not financially wise because they will help the best they can. My whole life things were never just handed to me, I worked for them and some people tell me that my parents should do more for me that I shouldn't have to work so hard because I'm just 17 years old that I'll have the rest of my life to work, but I think differently because it made me realize life isn't just fun and games, it helped me mature faster then most kids, it also gave me life skills that will help me out in college and life after college.

Art History is the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts. The history of art, we feel, can sometimes be confused with art criticism. However, Art History is concerned with finding the value of the artistic piece in respect with others in the same category of art or movement, and art criticism is more of an evaluation of art. The art examined best represents the culture during the time period, visions the artist imagined, and history behind an event. It also represents society in a specific area, beliefs the people may have, writing that tells a story, the natural world and environment, conflict between people and areas, and the human body. With these representations, artwork overall represents the life in which we live (d). Each piece has its own genre, design, format and style to it. This makes each piece extremely different, yet pleasing to the eye. They also vary between paintings, sculptures and architecture. These different types also make a variety of artwork to be seen by all people. The art pieces that I chose, Jar, Bottle and Glass by Juan Gris, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí, and Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, seemed interesting to me and I believe to best represent the context in which they were created, along with the major artistic movements of the time. I went on to research them more thoroughly to better understand the history behind them,

This artwork appears to be an abstract piece made from magazine clippings to create a collage. The artwork is a vertical piece that measures approximately 17 x14. It focuses in on the subject of a girl who is created out of neutral colors. She stands out against the rainbow background. In the background each clipping has a different element and pattern, but they all work in unison creating a rainbow background.

Case Study: The use of assemblage and the found object in historical and contemporary art practice.

Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South and Madonna Enthroned are very similar images that were produced by very different cultures. Both images were produced during the 13th Century. The image of Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South was produced in Tibet during an interesting period of the country’s religious history. The branch of Tibetan Buddhism is led by a religious and sometimes political leader called the Dalai Lama. It was during the 13th Century during the reign of Kublai Khan, around the time of the production of this painting, that Tibet experienced the first incarnation of the Dalai Lama. One has to wonder if this painting is somehow related to that occurrence. According to

Entering into college, I wanted to do public health, but I wanted to be a doctor to please my father and to satisfy his hunger to have a doctor in his family. My father made sure his children went to college, and if they didn’t, it was clear they couldn’t stay in his house anymore. My parents struggled to support all of my siblings and supply each of us with everything we needed. I never realized the struggle until I got older and understood the value of money and time. My parents never wanted my brothers and I to work while we were in school, they wanted us to focus on our grades and activities that would help us get into college. Overall, the support from my family and seeing how hard my

The art piece that I chose to critique is the sculpture of a figure kneeling down and getting shocked. It is located on campus near the Morris University Center(muc). When I first saw this sculpture it caught my attention immediately, because of how gruesome the piece was. I feel like I don’t have a good understanding of what the sculpture represents, but it seems like it would raise plenty of controversy, due to its erotic features. It seems like the artist was venting his emotions when he created his idea. The sculpture is fairly large in size, which makes it noticeable, among the other art pieces on campus. The sculpture media consist of wood and concrete, and metal mostly. The individual is keeling down toward the west and is supported

My parents have always told me that I was smart enough to do whatever I want, but I think that there is a huge difference between ability and ambition. As a little girl in elementary school, my dad encouraged me to consider becoming a lawyer or a doctor when I was older. Despite my aptitude for music, performing, and the arts, my parents noticed in me a fiery and driven disposition since I first learned to speak. It was reasonable that my parents would want the best for me. My dad was an immigrant from Vietnam who worked his way to becoming an anesthesiologist. My mother studied her way out of poverty, becoming a pediatric dentist. Since I was old enough to understand their stories, I have always adored how far my parents have come with what

If I ever showed an interest in thriving at something my parents made it possible. I

Upon glancing at various beautiful paintings there is to offer at the Museum of Fine Arts, only one astonishing artwork caught my immediate attention. The artwork is named “The Windmill on the Onbekende Gracht, Amsterdam” and it was painted by Claude Monet of the impressionist period in 1879. The medium is oil which is used for the oil painting on a canvas. Besides the subject matter, the content of the overall painting represents a serene and beautiful setting in which one can take ease and enjoy. It is a breathtaking view that captures a fleeting moment of a town setting by the riverside. Furthermore, the title also signifies the importance of the central object, which is the windmill.

What is art? These three words have been at the heart of a debate that has lasted for thousands of years. From Plato and Aristotle to students and teachers in classrooms across the globe in 2017 the definition of art has been explored by millions, if not billions, of individuals. And yet, after centuries of debate and exploration, the concept of art is as ambiguous as ever. Throughout time many different schools of thought have attempted to define art and each has contributed an aspect to the commonly accepted characteristics of art. Formalism has defined that art exists in certain forms and these forms can be compared to one another, while expressionism dictates that art must come from a place of emotion in the artist and express emotion to the observer. Society and government have contributed ethical standards and measures to aid in the evaluation of aesthetic quality.

Analyzing art can be a necessity to every day life. It has importance beyond what people may think possible and can transform the way you interpret situations. The skills acquired from it are applicable to every day jobs such as: doctors, crime scene investigators, police officers, and any other jobs that require attention to minor details. The analysis of art can improve your communication skills to be beyond most of society's. It assists people by showing a new outlook to a situation and helps to see the inconsistencies of a certain scenario. For instance, it is essential for a doctor to be able to look at an x-ray and they be able to those inconsistencies and make an educated diagnosis for that patient. I have been to a few art museums in

If you have some free time and have always wanted to visit an art gallery, a start is the Art Sacré exposition. Just do not expect high quality art. Running from October twenty-third to December eight-teenth at Les Salles de Gesù, the exposition features four artists depicting spirituality and inner self.

The first art piece from David Call’s collection that caught my attention is the Resistance. My dream career is to become a dentist so I was immediately drawn to the use mouth models in this piece. In dentistry, mouth models are generally used to help explain dental procedures to patients or as teaching tools to help kids learn how to brush their teeth. However, in the Resistance, the mouth models represent oralism in a particularly oppressive and aggravating way, as they are phrased in the description as “wind-up oral chattering teeth toy”. I believe learning is one of those things that vary from person to person. Auditory, visual, verbal, and kinesthetic are many of the few learning styles that are commonly known today. The utmost priority in teaching is being able to present information in a way that accommodates for all the different learning styles and not just one particular style. My preferred method of learning is a combination of visual and kinesthetic. Throughout my academic career, I was very lucky to have an opportunity to learn visually and kinesthetically, but nevertheless, I also have experienced forced learning style assimilation.

Throughout my entire high school career, leading up to the first trimester of this year, I dreaded the fact that I would eventually have to take an art class. For years I had lived with the impression that I was not good at art and this was because I had never really tried or attempted anything very artistic. So, once this year started and I saw 2 dimensional art was on my schedule for first trimester, I was a bit annoyed. Before taking this class I had never had any desire to ever take an art class and assumed I would not enjoy it. However, after having taken 2 dimensional art, I can confidently say my perspective and opinion towards art has completely changed for the better.
