The Number Of The Persons Who Like Su Embroidery Than Shu Embroidery

In our society we value people of beauty, rather than art. If a child was asked “What is beauty?” their answer would be something along the lines of a person they find beautiful, for example Marilyn Monroe.

Their society valued art as a sacred beauty that pertained more to objects, whereas in the American culture we value the beauty of the

The Han China and Classical Athens’ culture also had a huge different to how the arts were created. The arts of the Athenians were more focus on themselves, the human body. For example, on the front cover page, there is a drawing or statue of a Greek man, the Greek man is standing in a weird position with his arms pointing down, there are a few lines emphasizing his muscles, torso, biceps, etc. (Front Cover). While the art of the Han China were more focus on the landscapes and scenes surround them, along with the serenity and balance of the world drawn on to canvases in great details (document L). In most paintings, the five Chinese elements called Wu Xing will most likely be included in the paintings; the five elements are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Looking at Ch’iu Ying’s painting, you can clearly see the how Wu Xing is being presented in the painting, how the trees and mountains were presented in the background (document L). However, as you can see in the painting, there are only two men in the painting, this could mean that humans were inconsiderable in their arts (document L). As a conclusion, the two artistic styles were complete different from each other, the Han’s arts were more focus on nature in great details, while the Athenians’ art were more focus on the human body.

Since the beginning of time, artists have labored extensively to find innovative ways to convey sentiment, passion, and feeling.

The process of quilting goes as far back as the Egyptians, the Chinese, and the Persians; introduced into Europe by the Crusades (Hedges, 2014). The oldest dated quilted surface dates back to 3400 BC. This discovery was found in the robe of an Egyptian carved figure. The quilted surface consisted of many textile layers stitched together in the pattern of a raised diamond; this suggests that the used of padding and stitching has been around for thousands of years. In eastern Indian, the making of Sujuni worked on, or embroidered quilts are an art that dates back to the eighteenth century (Gunning, 2000). Europeans settled into the original thirteen colonies in the late 1600s and with their arrival they brought quilting to America (African American Quilting, 2007). Some of these European women taught quilt making to the slaves they owned leading to the development of a vibrant culture of quilt making in African American culture. Patchwork quilting was an American quilting style by the mid-19th century (African American Quilting, 2007). The classic patchwork American quilt was created out of the need for

Art can be defined as expression of human creative imagination. An artist creates artwork either for their own enjoyment or for the enjoyment of others. The value of the artwork can vary from the artist themselves to the audiences embracing it. This creates the value of art to be different for everyone. One may feel a deeper value for an art piece then someone else might. The value of art comes from different perspectives.

The reason for the sharp contrast in the style of taotie decoration between the two vessels can be attributed to the evolution of decoration preferences from the Shang to the Zhou dynasty. During the transition from the Shang dynasty to the Zhou dynasty the artistic style of taotie design became more simplified as, with the transfer of power, taotie began its journey towards disintegration. As opposed to the highly decorated and animalistic taotie bands on Shang vessels, taotie bands during the Zhou period are thinner, less decorative, and more geometric. This newly simplified style of decoration also allows for more blank space, emphasized by the comparison between these Shang and Zhou vessels. There was also a rise in bird imagery as depictions of birds developed an association with clans. Therefore, the animal that appears to be carved into the handle of the Zhou jia vessel could resemble this bird.

The relationship between art and commerce has always been subject of hot discussion. Many people look at creativity as a vehicle for economic interest, while others view it as pure dedication for personal creative needs.
