...only learning from a textbook, during this semester I’ve learned how to appreciate art in diverse of ways and projects such as having presentations, individual reports, painting, sculpture-making and architecture scrapbook. However, textbook provided me the basic knowledge and terminologies that I should know while appreciating art, this is the basic required that later on I could know deeply about art. Despite this typical learning method, I, together with my group mates, also visit churches and infrastructures which are inspired by foreign styles. In fact, this architecture exploration around Cebu gave me an opportunity expanding what I learned from the textbook and combined with how to use this new art concepts and analyzing sense when facing a real art work. I was able to appreciate Filipino architects during the making of the churches we’ve been such as Cathedral Church, Sto. Niño, Plaza Independencia, St. Joseph, Anabaptist Church, etc. It was a great experience trying to locate some inspired architectures here in Cebu. Though I’m not a catholic, which made me an ignorant person towards entering into churches I don’t really visit, I still had the chance to acquire knowledge about these places I’ve mentioned above. This project I had with the group made me reminded by myself about what I saw and learned based on previous teaching topics. I discovered my daily surrounding in the view of art, and because of this different view I caught up some lost things in my ordinary days...

...The collapse of the Roman Empire broke the unity in Western Europe. Different cultural patterns and styles began to merge and take on new forms. A common theme throughout medieval art is religion. Architecture focuses mainly on the construction of churches, where Christians would come to worship. Throughout time, the style of church architecture transforms from being relatively simple and true to the balanced proportions of Roman buildings, to the churches that extend to a much greater height and increase in complexity. Christian iconography was another major form of art during the medieval times. While this was a consistent style throughout the time period, the method of representing Christian figures evolved. The three majors of style of art that reflect the ideology of medieval art include Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic style. The Byzantine Style comes from the Byzantine Empire, which survived the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 (Jarus). The architecture from...

...Top Ten Assignment The Enlightenment and Romanic Ages produced numerous masterpieces in art, music, architecture, and literature which people still enjoy today. These opus magnums along with the philosophies during the two periods are reflections of the developments in world events and cultural patterns. This paper will present two pieces of art, music, architecture, literature, and philosophy from the Enlightenment and Romanic Ages that best represents the developments patterns from that time. Philosophy in the Enlightenment Age focused on an individual’s right to life and liberty. One example of a philosopher from this age is Thomas Jefferson. He famously wrote the Declaration of Independence (1776) that the Continental Congress signed declaring the United States free from the oppression of England. The document begins with, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (us history, 2013). Another such example of philosophy during the Enlightenment Age are the works of Thomas Paine. He wrote two of the most highly influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution. One such pamphlet is Common Sense (1776) (us history, 2011) the all-time bestselling book that advocates America’s independence from Great Britain. Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine were chosen as examples because we believe the Declaration...

...Modern Art in London 18 November 2015 How has the representation of women and female identity changed over the course of modern and contemporary art? Women have always been a common subject of art not only created by male artists, but female artists as well. In the late 1960s, the feminist art movement emerged following the women’s suffrage movement. The art during this era included works that obviously dealt with the female body even if the artists did not fully establish themselves as feminists. On the other hand, there were artists, like Paul Gauguin, who represented women in a different way. He spent some time in Tahiti to change his inspiration for art and discovered different subjects that included young Tahitian women. His pieces were so different from the pieces during the feminist art movement because his art typically did not give a precise purpose or meaning. Feminist art was representing something so powerful that it almost always needed a strict meaning. Another piece of art that almost contradicts the feminist art movement is Olympia by Edouard Manet. Consisting of a nude woman, this painting could suggest the views of women by the artist and even their role in society. Looking at these three different types of art really helps understanding the difference of representation of women over the course of the years. The feminist art movement started in the 1960’s shortly after women gained the right to vote due to the women’s suffrage movement (Feminist art movement)...

...The Functions of Temples and Mosques Theodore Jackson III Survey of Art and Culture I December 2, 2008 Introduction Art is created in many forms. Artists express their ideas and feelings through painting, sculpture, architecture, etc. Most artists stick to the area which they are most comfortable with, but some art is created for a grand purpose. In such cases, the art dictates the medium of expression rather than the artist. Architecture illustrates this point most accurately. The ancient architects created monumental masterpieces that people still enjoy. The greatest display of architectural genius can be seen in the temples and mosques. The temples of Ramses II and Angkor Wat along with the mosque Hagia Sophia possess these common functions: tell a story of the past, have a significant religious purpose, and were created to show artistic beauty. The Temple of Ramses II The temple of Ramses II is located at Abu Simbel in Nubia. It was built in the period of the New Kingdom (Kleiner 79). King Ramses II completed the building of the temple around 1253 B.C. (Nardo 120). Next to it he built a temple in remembrance of one of his many wives, Queen Nefertari (Nardo 120). His own temple was much larger in size compared to that of Nefertari. The difference in size was probably done on purpose. Larger statues and buildings often are a sign of more importance. Ramses II’s temple faced some adversity throughout the years. Around the time...

...Time Capsule HUM-102 Time Capsule I.) Art a. Renaissance i. One point perspective was one of the forms of painting during the renaissance period. This type of painting created a real kind of depth as each of its planes going further into the back of the back in space to look as it were from the eye of the viewer. ii. “Linear perspective is a depth cue that is related to both relative size and the next depth cue, texture gradient.” (Dictionary, 2011) Using these linear parallel lines that go back into the distance seems to get closer together. These types of painting were widely used throughout the renaissance period and can still be found in many famous paintings in today’s art museums. b. Age of Baroque iii. Still Life - “According to the collector Vincenzo Giustiniani, the painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610)—who rocked artistic conventions with his shockingly naturalistic style, and secured lifelong notoriety for subversive ideas and behavior—commented that it was just as difficult to paint a good picture of flowers as it was to make a picture of figures.” (Measher, 2008) Still life paintings allowed the artist the ability to paint with greater detail and depth. Many still life paintings were from oil based paintings. iv. A wonderful example of Vermeer and Dutch Art was the Milkmaid painting by Johannes Vermeer during the time of 1657-58. This painting could be considered to be one of the final works...

...Throughout the history of art, individuals have more than likely held certain beliefs about how or for what purpose a particular piece of art, which encompasses paintings, architecture, and everything in between, was created. In some rare cases, the identity of the builders or artists of a particular work has been called into question due to the fact that interpreters can not fathom how a certain piece of art could have been created by humans. One such piece of art, or more aptly a piece of architecture, that has been subject to this, “Who done it?” question are the Great Pyramids of Giza, located in Egypt. Established during the fourth dynasty of the Egyptian empire, which spanned from 2575-2450 BCE, the construction of these architectural...

Geoinformatics has at its core the technologies supporting the processes of acquiring, analyzing and visualizing spatial data. Both geomatics and geoinformatics include and rely heavily upon the theory and practical implications of geodesy. Geography and earth science increasingly rely on digital spatial data acquired from remotely sensed images analyzed by geographical information systems (GIS) and visualized on paper or the computer screen.[3] Geoinformatics combines geospatial analysis and modeling, development of geospatial databases, information systems design, human-computer interaction and both wired and wireless networking technologies. Geoinformatics uses geocomputation and geovisualization for analyzing geoinformation. Geoinformatics Research Research in this field is used to support global and local environmental, energy and security programs. The Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIST) Group of Oak Ridge National Laboratory are supported by various...

...INDIAN ART INTRODUCTION Study of history of art has developed in association with archaeological studies; however, it is now recognized as a specialized discipline. In the West, mainly in Europe, historical art as a discipline has grown considerably with numerous methodological inputs, whereas in India it is still in the process of development in its investigating mechanisms. As the study of art history has grown out of extensive documentations and excavations, one finds description of art objects as the prominent method of study. There are a few significant studies in the early twentieth century, where the concerns are addressed beyond mere description. Subsequently several generations of outstanding western and Indian scholars of Indian art history have studied the subject in great depth and the findings are a revelation of how glorious has been the Indian civilizational achievement through its art creations in the medium of architectural monuments, sculptures and paintings. We can claim a distinct Indian approach to the art of building edifices, sculpture making and the language of painting when compared with European art or the Far Eastern art. Therefore, Indian historical art studies have emerged as a prestigious academic discipline in the university level education. ART - ANCIENT &MEDIEVALTIMES Arts of the Indus Valley The arts of the Indus Valley Civilization emerged during the second half of the third millennium BCE in the Indian sub continent. The...

...Design + Culture: New Directions for Interior Design Scholarship and Pedagogy Date: March 15-16, 2015 Fort Worth, Texas Guest Editor: Tasoulla Hadjiyanni Associate Professor, Interior Design University of Minnesota Title: Design as a malleable structure: Reframing the conceptual understanding of design and culture through George Kubler’s morphological approach to the history of things Author: Joori Suh, Assistant Professor, Interior Design Department, Iowa State University Under the banner of globalization and internationalization, what actually happens in design? Has today’s blended culture lost the identity unique to the context? What should be the interior design educator’s attitude toward teaching design and culture in the current age? We encounter dilemmas in global design, the results of which are sometimes almost identical regardless of unique settings because of our tendency to grasp design as a whole with respect to particular style or trend without fully apprehending the core and the deviation. Perceiving the entire design project as a mere symbolic expression also hinders our true understanding of design and culture. In this article, I attempt to answer fundamental questions regarding the complex, innate relationship between design and culture and suggest restructuring a conceptual framework applicable to related research and education that effectively reveals the multi faceted characteristics of design and culture in the present age. From the perspective of morphology...

...Alison Holt Managerial Economics MBA 540 Chapter 4 Case Analyzing Managerial Decisions: Setting Tuition and Financial Aid In 2000, Ursinus College raised its tuition 17.6 and fees percent to $23,460. After the fee increase, the college recognized an increase in applications by 200 compared to the previous year. There was an assumption by the college president that the applicants concluded the college must be better since its cost was more than others were. In addition, colleges such as the University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr College, Rice University, and the University of Richmond raised their tuition in order to match rival colleges, thus causing an increase in applications also. On the other hand, North Carolina Wesleyan College lowered their tuition and fees ten years ago by 22 percent; however, the decrease in costs only attracted a small number of candidates, thus determining the reduction in tuition and fees was not attractive to the students. Susan Hansen, Admissions Director, at a liberal arts college in the East gave a recommendation to increase tuition and reduce financial aid to students in order to increase enrollment. Susan projects the increase in tuition and the decrease in financial aid will solve the school’s financial problems. Last year, the college enrolled 400 new students who each paid an effective tuition of $15,000 (after financial aid) totaling $6,000,000. Susan projects the increased demand from charging an effective tuition of $25,000; the college...
