Work of art

1. I disagree with the authors' definition for work of art. The author states that their thought on work of art has to be something made by a person. Nature such as trees and insects are not works of art. I personally hold more of vague and open opinion on my definition for work of art. I feel like nature and even the uncontrolled movements caused by non human are considered as art. My definition of work of art would be something that can be seen or thought visually by human beings. I would include

the true “work of art” and believes that this aesthetic approach goes against this. One artist that Heidegger particularly discusses is Vincent Van Gogh. He uses works of art by Van Gogh in order to give more power to his argument. Through works of art such as Van Gogh’s A Pair of Shoes, Heidegger makes his a distinction between artwork and things. In order to truly analyze the culture of another, he explains how it is essential for the viewer to question what is being depicted in the work and what

As art becomes more prevalent, intricate, and sophisticated in culture so does its impact on a viewer. A viewer must experience a work of art and connect to it in order for it to be considered effective. Aristotle, one of the most renowned Greek philosophers, believes in this idea and that is why Ajax by Sophocles can be considered a work of art. Sophocles’ play follows a warrior named Ajax who was threatening to kill Odysseus to obtain the armor he believed was rightfully his, which causes the goddess

articulated into a language of symbolic discourse. 3.Art is a construction of concrete elements of form and colour which become expressive in the process of synthesis or arrangement: the form of the work of art is in itself the content, and whatever expressiveness there is in the work of art originates with the form. 4. The whole purpose of this alternative principle was to escape from the internal necessities of our individual existence and to create a pure art, free from human tragedy , impersonal and universal

3. What determines the value of a work of art?  Anyone who has bought art insurance has wondered at some point how it could be that a picture is worth one hundred dollars and another million. A work of art is worth what the buyer is willing to pay. Each original work is a unique piece and the more people want it, the more its price goes up. But it's not as simple as it sounds. In order to evaluate the art correctly, it is necessary to take into account a lot of information, as much academic as of

The Museum of Contemporary Art currently has two exhibitions on view; one is called “Dirge: Reflections on [Life and] Death,” and the other is “Sara VanDerBeek.” One work of art that stood out the most to me was Epitaph from 2011 by Pedro Reyes. Reyes works are often meant to physically engage his viewers in order to shift their social and emotional expectations. The Epitaph invites his viewers to imagine a future in which they no longer exist, and then create a short message that conveys the life

Art History 15 September 2008 Manet's Olympia Artist and people viewing the art work have always had a fascination with the female nude. Even when I was a child my attention was captured by the nude art not because I was a kid and I saw a nude lady , but it forced me to wonder more about why the female nude was so amazing as a tool for art and why this is repeated so many times throughout the centuries. One female nude painting in particular was the subject of controversy and exposed the

ARTS DEPARTMENT INTRODUCES PRINTMAKING COMPONENT When David Bligh joined Dexter Southfield last September he brought the love of art, teaching, and experimentation with him.

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways. Jordan Casteel’s

For project two I decided to attend the Norton Simon Museum. Some time ago I had seen a friend share several pictures through social media, it consisted of a beautiful garden and distinct art work. After going back and forth in conversation she informed me it was a museum located in Pasadena. At the time I never took the initiative to go despite how intrigued I was through simple pictures however, I moved from Pomona to Pasadena and decided since we had the project coming up it was the perfect occasion
