...Art History I December 17, 2012 The Influence of Different Religions into the Development of Art The development of the relation of religion to life has been parallel to the development of art. Art always and everywhere has been a medium through which people have sought to express their religious beliefs, or a vehicle through which societies have sought to have their religion represented. Most part of the artworks produced in the past thousand years and more have had a massive religious content, whether, celebrating or representing Biblical narratives or seeking to express a human sense of the divine (Pateman, 1991). Much of it is the work of artists laboring to church commissions - artists who themselves may have had no particular religion and who would execute a religious commission in no different a spirit than a secular one. In the same way, religious art continues to interest and move people who think of themselves as non-believers in the existence of God or the immortality of the soul (Pateman, 1991). Several religious were/are practiced around the globe and the fundaments of these religious can be find and traced through significant artworks of the past that has been exclusively (religiously) committed to pass their beliefs to the next generation trough paintings, sculptures , architecture and etc. Unlike art in modern cultures, most ancient art was not created out of an impulse for self-expression of the artist or as a vehicle for casual entertainment. Instead...

...Comparing Nude Women of Art from different eras It is surprising how different female body sculptures from different ancient civilizations are. The diverse forms of human body also embody many different functions and meanings. In art, naked figures reflect a very complex set of formal ideals, philosophical concerns, and cultural traditions. In this essay I would like to compare two sculptures of nude women. The first one is the Venus of Willendorf which was built in Paleolithic Period. Another is called the Venus of Milo carved in ancient Greece. The female body of the Venus of Willendorf depicts enlarged breasts, buttocks and genital, which represents fertility, while the body of Venus of Milo, on the other hand, demonstrates beauty and perfect proportions. Despite the difference characteristics and styles between them, they both represent the different view of the perfect female form. The most widely known female figurine, the Venus of Willendorf, with only 11cm in height, is possibly the smallest female nude sculpture we know. It is one of the most obese representations of the Paleolithic statuary. The Venus of Willendorf can be dated back to approximately the Paleolithic period, around 28,000 to 25,000 BCE. According to some analysis, it was obvious that it had once been “painted with red ochre”, a symbolic substance commonly found in connection with burials and grave goods from the same time period. It was made of Oolitic limestone. Her thighs are also large and pressed...

...March 5th, 2012 Institute Le Rosey TOK “The Arts have little to do with knowledge”. Discuss this assertion with detailed reference to two works of arts in different genres. Knowledge is something at our circumference at all times. We pursue and obtain it in the various stages of our lives. As children we acquire knowledge from our parents, in school, by reading books, going on the Internet etc. As a matter of fact, Knowledge is thrown at us everyday, everywhere and from every angle, without us even knowing about it. Most people know that Math and Science give us knowledge known as Accepted truth and experimental knowledge. But can we acquire unforeseen knowledge from pieces of art such as Paintings, Music and Poems? Does art truly give us knowledge or is it the artist’s intention to play with us and influence us by making us think that we have learnt something? When thinking of it, we as viewers of the pieces of art are confused because we cannot record anything we have ever learnt from them. To most people Art is just there to impress us and for us to admire it. Never would we think that the Art’s actually give us some sort of knowledge. Nevertheless, the reason for this might be because we have the wrong definition of knowledge and are therefore not looking for the correct kind. Essentially, there are two types of knowledge that can be found in pieces of Art: Explicit and Tacit (Implicit) knowledge. Explicit knowledge is the average Joe’s definition of knowledge. It...

This will also include the ethnic minorities and how their influence affected the art works. There will be a Section of this paper that will take about the influence of art and how it affected the culture of 20th century. Then this paper will so contain information about how the culture of 20th century influences the arts of the 20th century. Feminist Art Movement Well the Feminist Art Movement started in 1969 because there was a group of women artists in revolution (WAR). This group decided to split off from the Art Workers’ Coalition (AWC) the reason the split from the AWC because it was Male-dominated. This group would not help the women artists. Then in 1971 the women artists had started to strike out of the Corcoran Biennial in Washington D.C. because they had excluded the women artists. The women artists started to protest against gallery owners because they would not show off their work here. Judy Chicago is the first woman that acted on and to help the Feminist Art movement. Her role was the most prominent and the earliest activists in the movement because she had established the feminist art program for women to paint freely without having the rejections from the outside world. The place of the program...

...10th 2014 DMB/380 February 10th 2014 Art Museum Database By: For the past couple of years, a local art Museum has been collecting different art pieces from various artists. The Museum then displays the art throughout different galleries across town. The collection has significantly grown and it is now complicated for the museum to keep track of the many different artist and their different art pieces and collections, as well as where the art is located, whether it is stored in different galleries or the Museum itself. It is important for the Museum to develop a database that can keep track of the different art pieces, the artists, the different locations the pieces can be located and a total amount of pieces collected since it continues to grow at a very fast rate. The database will help the Museum substantially as well as the artists who create many various art pieces. Problems and Constraints The Museum continues to grow and it has become difficult for the manager and staff to keep track of the art collection. Not having a database that can tie the artist with his art and the location of it has caused the Museum to lose some of the different art pieces which in return equal financial losses to the Museum. Another problem the Museum continues to have is keeping track of when and where the art is being displayed. Most of the art is displayed for a period of time throughout the different galleries then either stored back in the Museum or, returned...

...Abstract There are many controversial definitions of art. It can be said that all art has form and content, and it’s the differences of those two fields that defines the genre and style of the art. Whether it’s the elements, principle, or the intended meaning, every piece of art may mean something different to every person, as we all have different experiences and points of view. The Definition of Art According to Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, art can have two very distinctive definitions, both of which are very controversial. The first distinctive modern conventionalist definition focuses on the institutional features of art. This will tend to focus on the way art changes over time, modern works that appear to differ radically from traditional art, as well as the relational properties of artworks that relates it to current history or genres. The opposite or less conventionalist definition uses a broader, more traditional concept of aesthetic properties and focuses on art’s pan-cultural and trans-historical characteristics (The Definition of Art, 2007). While there are many different viewpoints regarding the definition of art, the institutionalism view holds that to be a work of art, a thing must be an artifact of a created kind, by an artist, that is to be presented to an art world public. A diachronic view holds that artworks necessarily stand in an art-historical relation to earlier forms of artworks. This is further defined by Arthur Danto, who later clarified...

...is the main focus. There are pieces of evidence, moral, and ethical aspects that are revealed in the book. They were used in the search for the truth. Truth is the state of mind of being real or fact. Through the ways of knowing, truth can be found. There are different ways of depicting truth. Through the arts, an artist can express him or herself and show truth through their expression. One form of art is Literature. Literature is a way of reaching truth but is not necessarily the best at “telling the truth”. Truth can also be represented in historical fiction in great literature works such as in To Kill a Mockingbird. Literature is the way that a writer can express him or herself through written language. Some might believe that literature is a more reliable way to find truth. However, there are others who might raise the questions such as “What is literature?” and “Who decides what literature is?” If questions like these can be raised, that means that the definition of literature can interpreted differently thus is it a reliable source of truth? Literature may be a way of expression but expression is shown through other arts as well such as music and paintings. So ultimately, it can be concluded that all types of art can tell the truth. To further investigate the extent that literature can tell the truth...

...Art personally to me has different meanings. When I think about Art, I mostly think about nature, graffiti, music, actors, etc. To me art is not only about drawing a picture, but it’s about expressing yourself through different colors, textures, patterns. For example dance could be art, or when the orange/yellow leaves fall from the tree in the month of October could also be art. Like I said before Art is not only about drawing or painting a picture, it is expressing your feelings, and being creative. What I find very interesting about Ancient Art is that it was not planned to be made. The patterns and the designs were so much different than now. For example the Cyclades that were sculptured in c. 2600-2400 BCE. Is it a very...

...Does contemporary art focus on conceptual art is important nowadays? 28 different arts make up what is called contemporary art. Some of which are Burt art, Neo Dadaism, Pop art, Op art, Minimalism, Body art, and Conceptual art among others. These popped up in the 20th century, having as a main trait their uniqueness and authenticity from what was learn or seen in the past. I’m going to focus in Conceptual art. “Conceptual Art emerged during a period of social, political and cultural upheaval in the 1960s. It was a reaction to the perceived constraints of Modernism and the increasing commodification of the art object. Artists sought the means to think beyond the medium-specific aspects of traditional art forms, such as originality, style, expression, craft, permanence, decoration and display, attributed to painting and sculpture. They used language and text to directly disseminate ideas, demystify artistic production and negate visually. Artworks took the form of written statements, declarations, definitions and invitations.” (Moran) After reading several books, I’ve learned that conceptual art is focused in the concept than in the actual object presented to you, meaning that to understand conceptual art you need to understand what the artist is trying to express, so that what you may see may not always be the true meaning of what is trying to be conveyed. “The artist has no control over the way a viewer will perceive the work. Different people will understand the same thing...

...Visual Arts 2 Kashata Warren Arts/230 October24,2011 Regina Sadona Visual Arts 2 “Visual Arts are those creations one can literally look at, such as a drawing or a sculpture.”(Visual Arts.com,) One may think of a design or a collage and call it art. Many people visualize art to be a number of creative things. This is why it is so important. During a certain point and time back in history, a group of artist and fine people decided the need to differentiate science and art. “They begin to split up fine Arts into Visual Arts (painting, sculpture, etc.), Auditory Arts (music, drama, spoken literature) and Performance Arts (which can be either Visual, Auditory or a combination of two-but are performed.” (www.arthistory.com,) Introducing a few different “Visual Arts “ which were mentioned earlier in the essay “paintings, sculptures, etc.”(www.arthistory.com) “John Ahearnand and RigobertoTorres’s sculpture “Pat” (1982). “(Sayne, 2010) is a good example of a visual art sculpture. One example of a visual art painting is “Pablo Picasso’s Seated Batter,1930.”(Sayne,2010) Introducing an example of Auditory Art would be “Neo-Classical 5 “(celestical-voices.blogspot.com/2010/04/neo-classical-2010.htm/). Introducing an example of Performance Arts is “The John Oats Band” (performing arts.utf.edu/events/2011/the john-oats-band/.

...Art and Culture Tammy Enderle June 30, 2015 Instructor: Michael Giacchino Art and Culture Culture and art are two things that have always gone hand in hand. Although art was not always done and accepted by women or minorities there was always an impact on society and culture. It was not until the Civil Right movement and Women Right movement in the late 1960’s that all of this changed. At this point everyone was treated and recognized equally and everyone now had an impact on their cultures and society. Women and Minorities and Art Before the late 1960’s and early 1970’s women and cultural minorities were not recognized for the art that they were capable of producing. “In 1960, the world of American women was limited in almost every respect, from family life to the workplace. A woman was expected to follow one path: to marry in her early 20s, start a family quickly, and devote her life to homemaking. As one woman at the time put it, "The female doesn't really expect a lot from life. She's here as someone's keeper — her husband's or her children's." ("E-Collaborative For Civic Education", 2015) Art galleries looked away and did not accept their art to be displayed in their studios. The women and minorities of cultures had to start protesting outside of art galleries to find their voices, and to be heard. In the late 1960’s women came together to open up their own art galleries, and were finally able to have their work on display for everyone to enjoy and see. By...

...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)...
