Required Art: The Old Stone Age

They still used twisted perspective like Egyptian did but didn’t have a ground line which look like the two women, one acrobatic man and the bull are flying on the sky. Nevertheless, this painting had a frame with a repetitive motif around the picture. Next, the subjects of this painting were improvised by the Minoan. The width of their hip were shrunk. The bull’s body were elongated, big on the front but small on the back.

There may be a crab in the illustration, which signifies the astrological sign of cancer, which is suitably ruled by the moon. There is water in the illustration that shows the tidal powers of the moon, and there may be a dog, wolf, or both seen there, depending on if the imagery of the goddess Diana is being used , or if the imagery associated with Hecate is being used instead. The Moon is commonly shown wearing more than one face, showing its changeability and its varying phases. There is something magical about the light that the moon casts here as it shows a light for the night and its dangers, but casts shadows that can cause confusion.

Looking at each of the art angles we see that only the front view shows implied lines with the separation of colors between the texture’s slopes. This texture is created by an upside down “V” hump throughout the artwork, which can be seen in the Enhanced View in the appendix. Moving from Left-Side to Right-Side the other artworks are shown at only certain angles, we see here lines become complete rather than implied, becoming more abstract; this also shows that the element of motion is from the viewer is needed to see this artwork completely. From the front view the artwork shows implied shape, the left side, shows shape with objects with curved edges and lines, and the right-side shows objects with straight/sharp edges. We can also say that, overall, this piece of artwork has form due to the necessity for the artist to create these 3rd-Dimensional “V” humps to show the other artworks at their angles. This work of art also employed value as shown in all 3 angles, we can see that at

The medium of the artwork is silver with mercury gilding. Mercury is a metal that is a liquid at room temperature. When mercury is combined with either silver or gold, it becomes viscous or thick, according to “Mercury Gilding/Silvering” at Philadelphia Museum of Art, “mercury gilding is the process, when mercury itself is mixed with gold in order to make an amalgam/mixture, which is then applied to the surface of an object.

The artwork that I selected is the Parthian Rhyton. It was created in Iran from the year 150 BC – AD 225. Its medium is made up of silver with mercury gilding. The Parthian Rhyton body structure includes half rampant goat and a half drinking horn. In the artwork, there is a separation mark or point of both the goat and the drinking horn this way it looks like the goat is laying down on its stomach. The artwork total dimension is approximately 535 cm.

Art and the ability to think of concepts is what distinguishes our species from other animals - capabilities that also led us to use fire, develop the wheel and come up with the other technologies that have made our kind so successful ("BBC News - Cave paintings change ideas about the origin of art," n.d.)The discoveries of cave art defied the then dominant view of cultural “progress” as something that gradually proceeded from a “savage” ancient past to the civilization” of the present (Lewis, Jurmain, & Kilgore, 2013, p. xx) The origins of art cannot simply be pegged to the latest discovery of ancient paintings or sculpture (Balter, 2009, p. xx) In these cave paintings it gives us a glance into the worlds of our

In this film, it starts out showing the oldest form of painting which is close to 32,000 years old. The cave in which it is found is called the Chauvet cave in the south of France after the original discoverer named Jean-Marie Chauvet. In one of the paintings, the bear that was painted on the wall after the video was paused looked like I could still erase it because it looked like fresh ink. The scientist could confirm its authenticity because of the material that grew around the painting would take many years to form. For people that used their fingers, the paintings seemed to look very nice and detailed and had me wonder how horses looked back in that time, because the way they were drawn made them

I find this piece to be very mysterious. Why does the head become narrow at the top? The face seems to be of an older woman, as shown by the wrinkles indented within the sides of the nose and the mouth, although they are not as prevalent as the one of NYC. There’s a soft jaw line of a woman. What is interesting to me is the indented/concave region of the eyes. Instead of forming an extruding eye with a pupil, the sculptor chose to extract the material to form the eye, unlike the piece we saw of Abu, with eyes stamped with bitumen tar. The lips are very well sculpted, and textured well. It seems like it would mean a lot to a Pharaoh who has lost his mother, or who hopes to forever remember his family. To see the portrait of his family along with himself would’ve made him feel happy and in the presence of his family. I feel this way much of the time when seeing photos of lost family members with me beside them within the photos. It’s like an everlasting memory of that person and being with them in the memory.

Egyptian art shows these cattle as being black, brown, brown and white, white spotted, black and white and white.

The bull has a white head and a dark body. Unlike the other figures in the mural, the bull seems to be unharmed and calm. Some believe that Picasso added the bull because it represent the artist country of origin Spain because it was famous for bullfighting. Others believe that the bull represent brutality or the sides of the conflict in Spain at that time. To the right of the bull there is a horse that looks like in deep pain and screaming, it looks as if it was injured and dying. The horse might symbolize the people who got hurt during the attack on Guernica. Between the bull and the horse some kind of birds that is most likely a pigeon. The pigeons have commonly been known to be signs of peace, but in this painting the pigeon’s peck is open as if it is screeching. Looking further to the right, there is a women floating with a lantern in her hand. She might be an angel holding a light for the victims of that massacre that happened in the village, and she is guiding the souls to the afterlife. The women beneath her seems to be in agony and pain. The women is half naked with her breasts showing, and she looks as if she is running for her life in fear and terror. Also, the women is looking upward towards the lantern the other women is holding. Underneath the horse a sole flower. The flower that is a weak living creature looks as if it is also trying to survive the horrors surrounding it. To the right of

This form of art seems child like, but in reality for the time period its surprising homids were doing anything other than trying to survive. Cave art was painted with polychrome mineral pigments and coal. From ca. 10,000-4,000

As we learned, lines are when two points in space are connected. There are many different types of lines. They can be actual or implied. Currently I am outdoors studying at a Starbucks. There are many lines that surround me. These include the lines created by the buildings that surround me. From the bottom of their corners to the top of their corners, lines are present. The streetlights on the busy main street next to this location make straight, vertical lines. These natural lines also include the lines created by the wires that overhead the telephone poles. The trees and bushes that are present in the parking lots create organic lines. From these items, there are lines created by the shadows. The parking lots themselves also have lines that demarcate the parking spots. I can find these lines by looking at the start point of the object and seeing where it ends. It’s interesting to see where these lines begin, end, and how they vary.

A Portrait of Rostam Khan Zand is artwork signed by Mohammad Sadiq in Iran, Shiraz, circa 1779 representing the portrait of Rustam Khan Zand who was the grandson of Karim Khan Zand.

This painting features St Anthony kneeling in the left corner of a barren desert under a blue sky. He holds out a cross out with his right hand while leaning back on a rock with his left hand, a human skull lying near his foot. In front of him a strong, white horse bucks onto its hind legs, behind the horse is a parade of elephants carrying things representing temptation. The animals all have very long exaggerated legs, the elephants carry two nude female figures, one is a statue and one is in an extravagant building, they also carry an obelisk and a vertical tower. Lastly there appears to be a city of some sort in the approaching clouds to the left, along with a mountain landscape in the background.

To begin, the painting itself is painted on plywood and was produced in Nigeria in 1968 by Twins Seven-Seven. The painting is very odd and almost mystical incorporating two very weird figures taking up the whole piece of plywood surrounded by houses and trees and comprises of just what Twin’s paintings try to capture. It was made in Oshogbo, which is a Yoruban town in western Nigeria. The painting has no real meaning and after looking extensively over J-STOR and other scholarly sources there was barely any mention to this particular painting. Other paintings by the same artist were also barely described except for the style and the artist himself. This painting though weird in its nature is just what the Oshogbo people are described by, freedom of expression and their culture through the paintbrush and other
