The Farnese Atlas Analysis

In the book si cology there's a guy named si has three brothers Tommy Phil and Barney. si first talks about his childhood. When he was young he was terrible at lying he couldn't tell a lie to save his life. One day with his brother they climbed under a gate and his pants fell off and a sworn of bumble bees came and stung him on the butt his mom had to take out all the stingers. Later when hes 18 his parents tell him hes going to college he says he dosent want to go but they send him anyway. He says all hes gonna do is party and his mom said well have a good one. And that's exactly what he did he only went to enough classes so they wouldn't kick him out amazingly he passed. But he has to do another year.

A bronze sculpture consisting of just six rectangular shapes and a semi-rectangular base, this piece is very simple, and its minimalistic structure is similar to that of Malevich’s Supremacist Composition: Airplane Flying. From a certain angle, the sculpture resembles a figure stumbling and falling over the base, depicting some sort of motion. In this sense, it is similar to Boccioni’s Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, which sought to use air currents to symbolize a moving figure. The simplistic yet abstract nature of Shapiro’s work makes it feel right as home in the Modernist Revolution, despite the fact that Shapiro’s sculpture was made in 1991, more than 70 years after the Modernist Revolution occurred. In addition, Untitled is unlike any other “figure” sculpture we have studied thus far. Just about every major sculpture we have covered resembles some form of a human-like body, whether they be an actual human or a divine figure. Even Unique Forms of Continuity in Space possesses what appear to be legs, a head and a torso. The odd and minimalistic composition of Untitled means that is possesses no definite form resembling a human and could very well be meant to resemble something completely unrelated to human, quite possibly an inanimate object or even something that was not meant to be resembled. It is the only work of its kind present at the sculpture garden, and as such, it carries far more mystery than any other work

The documentary “Waste Land” is about Vik Muniz, an artist known for his series of amazing and creative images made from sugar, chocolate syrup, pigment, dirt and peanut butter. He started using different materials from garbage for his art and through his art he tried to help the pickers of the largest landfills near Rio de Genaro. In this analysis I also implement French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan’s view about the society and culture. Jacques Lacan criticized the society and culture because of the lack of sensitivity and creativity in its culture and ideology that continue to be same since many years.

The water supply on earth plays a huge role in daily lives. You need to have clean water to drink, do laundry and water your garden. Since water is necessary, the future water supply is very important for future generations. They will need clean water to use daily. Society can not let the water become so polluted and unsanitary that future generations can not use it for their daily needs. Water supply is affected by humans and the area surrounding the water.

Its architecture has Greek form with a high structure of marble that shows off a large frieze portraying an epic battle on the base’s walls. The cracked figures on the frieze fight violently against each other, and even with the test of time, their features are descriptive and their faces show much varied expression. The most impressive part of the Altar of Zeus is the sculptural frieze depicting the struggle of the gods and the giants. It is clear on the altar’s frieze’s that the artist/sculpture of the alter worked towards a natural view of the characters on them, borrowed from the classical period but sculpted them to be in more of realistic portrayal. The construction of a frieze seemed to be a fairly popular architectural enhancement at the time; this outer frieze is one of the most famous. The sculpted figures on it create a new height of Greek realistic representations and architecture in modeling, composition, and expression of emotion. The emotions of the figures are one of the aesthetics that makes the frieze so unique and beautiful. As the battle scene is unified; the winning and losing sides are clearly cut. The artist makes the battle and its characters easily perceivable. The look of suffering in defeat is on all the giants’ twisted faces. Drastically opposite is Zeus and his fellow gods who are seen as completely expressionless. The overall style of the frieze is very intense, to say the

This work by Alphonse Mucha is a personification of the gemstone Topaz and is a part of his Precious Stones series.

Santa Cruz is home to a big art community, from a wide array of different mediums; on the Santa Cruz County Website for the Arts, it says, “Santa Cruz County serves as the inspiration for a vibrant arts and culture scene, so it’s no wonder there’s an eclectic array of choices for art lovers.” While we have a big community, the MAH is a small art and history museum, there mission statement on their website states the following, “Our mission is to ignite shared experiences and unexpected connections. We accomplish this mission when we bring people together around art and history through dynamic exhibitions, events, partnerships, and programs.” They do this by holding a wide array of community events, and something called First Friday. First Friday is where there is a elaborate art walk in downtown and around the Museum of Art and History. The art walk is where local artists from all different mediums can showcase their art or craft, try to sell it and network with other artists. This helps to bring together the community of Santa Cruz. This piece is not the only work of art in the gallery at the MAH, Killian has a very large gallery in the museum all dedicated to his works, his work techniques and lifestyle. All these pieces are of various parts of California, however, their is many done of Santa Cruz county, and I feel he choose to have the whole collection in this

First of all, the sculpture will fill our lives with the beauty of art as citizens. For example, “the History of Public Art” article gives a background on ancient greek statues and temples, and it states that the “structures helped unite the citizens of the communities of which they stood by providing a concrete focus for national identity and pride” (The History of Public Art). For

Ancient art is pivotal to understanding the societies they came from. The subject, the methods used, and even the materials are all indicative of the culture and environment in which the art was produced. The Stela of Iku and Mer-imat and a marble statue of Venus exemplify this very idea. Both works act as windows to the mindset of the different cultures that contributed to their establishment.

There have been countless duels between two opposing sides in the history Roman artistry. This sculpture relief signifies the classic battle of good versus evil. Time and time again, benevolent heroes find themselves in a struggle to combat worthy yet malicious adversaries. The Roman sarcophagus, a two by five feet marble coffin, is certainly no exception. It represents another division to this timeless good-evil epic, its visual characteristics, emphasis on contrasts, and its extensive array of details give it an identity that is uniquely its own. It portrays a sense of legendary fantasy to the viewer, one pertaining to hostility, violence, and pure anger. The sculpture seems overly shallow due to

Vik Muniz is a Brooklyn-based artist who makes art from any items found in trash. The documentary film Wasteland delved into the souls and exposed the lives of several Brazilians who worked as “catadores” or pickers of recyclable items in Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. It was the biggest landfill in the world until was closed in 2012. Vik Muniz traveled to the landfill, met various individuals and involved them in the process of creating portraits which would then go on display.

Yellowstone National Park is one of the most beautiful and wild life filled places in the United States, and also one of the most dangerous places. Yellowstone is home to a supervolcano that can decimate populations of animals and humans. This volcano is named Yellowstone Caldera. The volcano is currently dormant but can strike any minute.The volcano has three dangerous aspects and possible effects to it. If the Yellowstone Caldera ever erupted, the ash, lava, and change of climate from the volcano can forever change the United States.

There are similarities and differences between how the dad in “The Space Rock” acts at the beginning and end of the story. Both the dad’s actions at the beginning and end of the story decline big offers and ideas of making money off of the meteorite. But, the two of the dad’s actions have differences as well, at the beginning the dad is outstanded by how much money he can make off of the meteorite. At the end though, the dad is grateful about the opportunity and he gives the rock to his hometown. The dad in “The Space Rock” has similarities and differences in his actions in the beginning and end.

As a result of the fact that the Alcan is an international company that develops and sells an enormous range of products, the website structure needs to convey the fact that Alcan is a tremendous player in the global market place, a leader who has its hands in a variety of dealings. For example, the sheer fact alone that Alcan sells products ranging from "bauxite, smelter-grade alumina, sheet ingot, extrusion billet, wire ingot, forging stock, beverage can sheet, automobile iron, aluminum recycling services, fabricated products such as wire and cable, and flexible and specialty packaging" (Dube et al., 2009). This is a huge variety of products all used for a range of extremely serious, extremely technical endeavors. It's also important to keep in mind that Alcan is a highly integrate company: the own a wide range of mines, deposits, alumina refineries, specialty alumina plants, port and rail facilities, aluminum smelters, power plants, product plants, and packaging material plants (Dube et al., 2009). While this means that Alcan is an extremely dominating figure in this particular arena of business, it means there's an even greater burden of a need to create a website that doesn't seem intimidating or confusing. While Alcan's business dealing might be extremely intricate, the corresponding website needs to be extremely accessible for the average user.

When I was looking through 17th-18th century European artwork in the Norton Simon Museum, there was one piece of art that really stood out to me. That beautiful art piece was the Bay of Naples by Claude-Joseph Vernet. This piece stood out to me because of the beautiful scenery that is displayed and the deep serenity the piece gives me when I look at it. The Bay of Naples is a painting of a landscape that captures the daily life of the bay. The materials used for this painting was oil on canvas.
