Art 100.001 What is Beauty? When discussing works of art, beauty can be defined by a variety of elements. These elements include but are not limited to line, shape and mass, light, color, space, texture and pattern, and time.

Viewers see this painting’s beauty through Germaux’s use of color, shape, and lines

It urges museums to reassess their assumptions about corporations and suggests ways that museums can develop new approaches to align

Through the 20th century’s proliferation of popular art, a binary opposition was created with the dominant pre-existing European aesthetics. Artists using nontraditional tools challenged the canon’s notions of value and, in this way, fought against repressive desublimation, in which high culture and art become commodified and absorbed into a material capitalistic society. The purpose of this paper is to address the juxtaposed values of “high” and “pop” art to determine if their values should be equalized

- Caravaggio’s technique and style is unique because it contains a lot of chiaroscuro, and makes the viewer a part of the picture like Velazquez’s Las Meninas. Caravaggio was also unique because he never painted frescos, and he never created any drafts before starting his works ("Caravaggio Style and Technique" ).

and paint, which sparked her interest in art. She attended California State University at Northridge to obtain her bachelor’s degree. Then she went back to her high school, Bishop Alemany High School, to teach. That is where she got together “ethnically diverse” students and painted a mural. Her teaching job did not last long.

Jusepe de Ribera’s The Five Senses: Touch (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston) of 1615-16, in its simplest description, is characterized as a man with closed eyes; sitting in a dark room, behind a table with a painting on top; and holding the head of a sculpture in his hands. Contrasts between light and shadow cut through the simple images and draw viewers into this painting, as the artist explores relationships between sight and touch.

During the Interwar period, Giacomo Balla was fascinated by innovation, and he used the societal advancements of Einstein's theories of relativity and modern industrial creations as the main influences in his art. In the years after the Great War, Balla’s art had taken on a different role in the art world. He began using abstract shapes and colors to depict society as an ever-changing thing, constantly replacing old with new. In an article in the Washington Times in 1915, Giacomo Balla’s author writes

Art is subjective and is deemed “art” by the eye of the beholder. This means that what is deemed art by one person may not be considered art by another. For me to deem a painting as “art”, the painting must move me emotionally in some way or form.
