...Origami: the ancient art of folding paper into different beautiful objects, like the classic crane. If you were asked me how it has affected me, or how I think it’ll affect me in the future, this is what I’d say. Origami has not affected me, but I think it will in the future, through the things I used to do with it, and being complete trash at it, I think it will affect me later though. As of right now, oragami has not inspired me or affected me. Is say this because as of today i have not made that much oragami items. As a child i did make fortune tellers, but, I wasn’t that good at the time. So, I got to work to get better, and in time, I was. Then I started trying more, and learned that there was much harder than i thought. But, I do not...

...inclined towards expression through many artistic media. Early art mainly focused on expressing the form of humanity, rather than the emotions and thought that make us human beings. When art, specifically sculpture, shifted towards what we know as the modern movement, it was somewhat shunned, or touted as being inferior to traditionalist styles. My research paper will focus specifically on the difference between modern and traditional styles of art, the dynamic between them, and how both styles contributed to how we view art today, as well as the vilification of modern art in the eyes of the art world. My interest in this topic mainly stems from my own personal interest in art, because it’s what i want to...

I have worked with people in my art classes, trying to help them draw certain things, or teaching them how to shade.

...When you first hear the word “beauty”, what do you think of? Celebrities dressed in expensive red-carpet gowns that you hopelessly admire from afar? An art gallery filled with sculptures and paintings much too complex for you to interpret? Perhaps a simplistic landscape viewing of the breathtaking natural world? Whatever it may be, the definition of beauty has always depended on the person you are asking and the time period they are in. Clearly, certain things that may have been considered beautiful at one time, may not be deemed as beautiful in today's society. This is why I believe beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. For the third marking period, I finally decided to read a book on art. After going through the chapter on the renaissance...

...Christian Art is an entryway into the artist’s emotions, dedication, and sacrifice, displaying their devotion and love for God. During the Middles Ages, artist expressed their feelings through paintings, mosaics, and sculptures. The rich colors, beautiful architecture, and carefully carved statues are just a few reasons Christian Art is important to the Gospel today. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith (Romans, 12:6). From the minute we start attending Sunday school, we are taught the stories of David and Goliath, Adam and Eve, and Jonas and the Whale. However, the crucifixion of Jesus is a hard story to endure, due to the reprehensible and inhuman beating and humiliation Jesus suffered. As a reminder of God’s love for us, he gave his only son Jesus as a payment for the sins of all his children. Would we appreciate Christianity in the same manner if this wicked act had not taken place? The crucifixion of Jesus is one of the most important parts of the Bible. The torcher Jesus encountered on our behalf demonstrates the love and devotion our Lord has for each and every one of us....

...The African community shows the immense influence from African art throughout history. Visual art is the centerpiece of their rituals is used during dance, song, and other ceremonies. It can even show ranking or religious status, which is close to Africa pride and heart. Mosaics, textiles, masks, paintings and sculptures are just a few of the main forms of African Art.

They are usually made of wood and then painted creatively, but they can also be made of metals, rocks, beads, mud, or other materials.

...the 1700s, and the people were interested in philosophy, science, astronomy, and art. So, the artists in this period wanted to develop their style in art and work more on depicting the human body with more reality. Thus, and to achieve that, they studied the anatomical dissections, and invented some new artistic techniques. In this essay, I will discuss the relationship between the art and the growing body of scientific knowledge. Also, I will use examples of the artworks from the major styles. After that, I will explain how the artist created those works using the new scientific knowledge. The beginning is with the Renaissance period since it was the most important artistic period due to the fast development. In this period, the artists wanted to continue the work of the Greeks and Romans, who had worked on sculpturing and painting the youth and ideal human bodies. However, the artists from the Renaissance wanted their work to be more naturalistic, and to...

... The Baroque art period of art was born in Italy/Western Europe, around the early 1600’s thru 1750. It was mainly influenced by the division of the Christian religion in the West, between the Roman Catholics and Protestants. The Roman Catholics used this art as a part of their campaign to maintain their followers. They felt it was aesthetically appealing and it would inspire the largest possible audience (Baroque, n.d.). Rembrandt’s The Ass of Balaam Talking before the Angel from 1626 is a good example of what the Roman Catholics wanted viewers to see and feel. Baroque art is known for its display of intense drama, which invokes powerful psychological sensations; emotional feelings. It incorporates the use of concentrated rich colors and the extreme differences between light and dark. The subject was typically very light and bright, almost giving it an angelic quality with the background being very dark, mysterious and shadowed. The themes were generally extravagant and of ecstasy, grandiose visions, death, or overall intense moment (Pioch, 2002). The Surrealism period of art started around 1920 and continued for many years. It commenced from Dadaist undertakings after World War I. It was very similar to Dadaism in the fact that it was anti rationalist (Baroque, n.d.). It started in Paris France and swiftly moved and was accepted around the world. It included all forms of art such as literature, poetry, film and music and moved outside the lines of art to include influences...

...2nd April 27, 2018 Why Fine Arts Needs to Stay Fine arts is the teaching or education of certain skills. These skills include, visual art, acting, singing, and more. The problem with fine arts it the amount of money that it costs causing many schools to shut it down (Education and the Fine Arts). This is causing students to miss out on the opportunity to participate in fine arts. I think that schools should have a fine arts program because of the benefits students get from it. Some of the many benefits to fund arts are the ability to work with a team. Some students have a hard time working together and fine arts can help with that. Students will need to work together to achieve a goal such as a song...
