Visual Arts Paper

The growth of arts in the Italian Renaissance embodies the values of the humanism present there. As the ides of the educated changes, so too did their designed artwork, either commissioned or personally done, reflect that change. As humanism gained more ground in their society, scholars see the impact arising in the artwork itself.

One case of this was with an alcoholic prostitute named Clasina Maria Hoornik, who became his mistress and model. She would later return to her life of prostitution, which devastated Van Gogh. In Paris, Van Gogh first saw impressionist art and became inspired by it and his proliferating passion alienated every one of his friends as he bickered and critique his friends’ art works. In February 1888, he to a train to France. It was here when his mental illness became apparent. One day, Van Gogh had an argument with his friend Paul Gauguin again. After Paul had left and returned, he found that Van Gogh had mutilated his own ear. He had given his bleeding ear to some prostitute some time prior to Paul’s return. Vincent Van Gogh was sent to the hospital and would later be sent again due to a self inflicted gunshot to his chest. He died in the hospital at the age of 37 years

Florence requires more advanced education in the arts. I propose that a new academy be constructed in the city with the purpose of teaching these skills to citizens from across Europe. The main concern for this academy is the curriculum. First of all, there should be an emphasis on Humanism, because it’s a belief system growing in popularity that has been advancing the arts so far and has been restoring Roman design elements in all mediums of art, most notably observable in architecture and perspective. Next, I should specify the materials that will be taught. There will be a focus in architecture, painting, metalworking, ceramics and sculpture. There will also be a language requirement, calling for students to learn classical Latin and Greek while at the Academies, allowing for them to read original Roman and Greek texts. This will allow them to draw inspiration for their work. As someone who learned the secrets of Architecture by studying Ancient Roman structures and texts, I can attest to their ingenuity and knowledge, some of which, remains undiscovered. In addition, I propose that a library be constructed in order for students to have access to original Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman texts and sources. Finally, some

Students with disabilities are definitely at a disadvantage when reading achievement is being considered. Alberto, P.A and Fredrick, L.D (2011) wanted to develop and individually examine the efficacy of three different components of an integrated literacy program. The goals are to determine the effectiveness of acquisition of the reading of pictures and logos (visual literacy component) and written text (sight-word instruction component and phonics instruction component). All research activities take place in the public school setting a cross five school districts in the southeastern United States. A total of 36 students participated in the program with an attrition rate of 11 students. Students were assigned to one of three curricular components: visual literacy, sight-word instruction, or phonics instruction. Visual literacy students were taught to read and demonstrate comprehension of the individual pictures and sequences of

Art classes are one of the many awesome electives available at Phoenix high school. The art program is unique because there are a total of 6 art classes in the program. Starting with ART I (Introduction to Visual Arts) a semester long class, ART IB (Advanced Drawing) a semester long class, ART II (Color Theory and Mediums in Art) a year Long class, ART III (Studio Art/Commercial Art) a year Long class, ART IV (Advanced Art) a year Long class, and AP ART - 2 high school credits. Students who complete this 4 year program with an AP option develop their drawing, design concepts to advance their visual communication skills, exploring a variation of design techniques, processes and composition using the elements and principles of design. The art

While desktop publishing and graphic design share many similarities, they are not the same. However, they do have some common capabilities and features, and that can lead to confusion for those who are not sure exactly what sets each apart from the other. Both desktop publishing and graphic design are processes used to bring creative things to life. Desktop is the process of using the computer and specific types of software to combine text and graphics to produce documents such as newsletters, brochures, books, etc. Graphic design, on the other hand, is the process and art of combining text and graphics and communicating an effective message in the design of logos, graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and any other type of visual

As science was evolving, art and architecture were too forming new ideas and styles. Starting with Einstein, Newton, and Heisenberg- in regard to quantum physics and leaping into architectural advances, it is agreed that this was a revolutionary time for all who lived in this era. That being said, Cubism, Futurism, and Fauvism are important styles in modernistic art. Whether it is literature, poetry, song, or dance, these principles helped to shape the future and individual approach to create our own perspective. The abstract styles discussed, paved the way for Nonobjective art to make its mark on humanity and to make us feel and see uniquely. Not to mention, architecture and the International style that later developed, teaching us modern design. The international style gave us unique structures, distinctly showcasing new synthetic materials, floor plans, and roofs. As one can see, modernistic art provides just as an important part of our everyday life as

Im sitting in the computer chair in my room. I’ve just finished up a picture. I go to save it and I ask myself, Does this fit my Aesthetic? I could sit and stare at it for hours. I go back and look at my other photos that fit it. I decide to keep it. It has to fit or I won’t use it. My Aesthetic is a Grayscale, with a little splash of color. I have just finished one of my hardest pictures yet. It’s a girl standing by a horse. The things in color are the horse, the girl’s hair, and Her dress. The thing is, I do a ton of these and they never end up getting used. But practice makes perfect I guess. So far I have done about seven eyes, two dogs, three cats, some fruit, and a couple of highways. Each picture takes anywhere from five minutes,

Modernism is a term that refers to the way artists moved away from traditional representations of reality during the early 1900s. It refers to changes that came with abstraction, leading to distortion or excessive exaggeration of colour, shape, and space for expressive purposes. It changed the way artists saw and how their audience saw the works or images they created. It had occurred because the world in which we lived began to change dramatically. In this essay, it will discuss the cultural influences such as the world war 1, the industrial revolution and world war two that the world had in the movement of modernism and the art movements.

Vincent Van Gogh, the man who we all know for his story night painting and getting his ear cut off, but there is so much more to him then we even realized. Van Gogh is a part of the Early Modernism period, more specifically he was a part of PostImpressionism. When we look back at the progression of art periods we see that modernism is the start of when classicism begins to diminish. Modernism is the start of moving towards emphasizing movement and different perspectives for color, patterns, forms, lines, specifically in PostImpressionism. It turned away from the Enlightenment views of reason and rationalism, which aspects included modesty, harmony, balance and sense of proportion. Modernism steps away from the classical period of harmony, balance, and subtle earth tones, rather it puts an emphasis on movement and makes the audience think of what is actually being displayed because of the different brush strokes and intense colors used in this time. To understand Van Gogh, we must first understand the time period of which he was in, Modernism.

The two art media's that I chose are drawing and oil painting. Drawings are the oldest art media. Drawings are used with pencils, charcoals, and other earthly pigments. When people used drawings it was usually used as a starting point or something and artist used to use before Painting or making it a greater artwork. It was not considered finished art at the time people started drawing. Oil paintings are a type of painting that is very slow to dry, but the painter can come back and change the colors of the painting or the overall visual of the painting.

The European Renaissance was a time of great change. The people of that time were beginning to take an interest in learning and also began to follow the idea of humanism. Humanism was a way of life where a person would reject most religious beliefs and focus on the here and now. One of the main things Humanist believed in was individual achievement. This gave many artists the opportunity to be known around Europe for his or her talent and not be criticized for being selfish.

Vincent van Gogh was a fantastic artist, who started his creative journey late in his life. He used vivid color, showed great emotion in his paintings, and created his own style of work. Van Gogh’s story ended very abruptly at 37 when he committed suicide. We will never know why he did it. All we really know is that he suffered from mental illness his whole life. He was committed to asylums many times during his life, and created his most famous paintings while he was in the asylums including The Starry Night. His issues with mental illness were the foundation of his art.

In elementary school I had art class right after lunch. As a kid I was very excited to go to art class because I always wanted to be an artist someday. I would go home and just draw anything that come to my mind like flowers, hearts, landscapes and more. One day in class my teacher taught us how to draw three dimensional figures. The student had to sit or stand on top of the desk and pose for us and we had to draw it. It was fun and very cool to do. Moreover, towards the end of the school year we would have assemblies. While the assembly was going on they announced that they were giving out awards and prizes. Then out of nowhere my name and a few other students got called down for the best artistic in the class. We had got a sketchbook, art

Vincent Van Gogh had a rather depressing life. After being born into an upper-middle class family he quickly became depressed in life. He tried different things like working as an art dealer, becoming a Protestant missionary, and so on. None of these stuck for him as his mental health continued to decline. He was already a quiet, keep to himself kind of person, but over time he became more isolated. He got help from his younger brother Theo in the form of money and moved back home with his parents. This is when he began painting and eventually moved to Paris. Once moving there his paintings became more colorful and his painting style began to develop. He also began suffering from delusions and psychotic episodes and began neglecting his health by eating less and drinking alcohol more frequently and in
