...IWT Task 1 It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the relationship between two periods of art. The Realism period will be compared to the Impressionism period. Visual art will be the discipline compared. A1. Earlier Historical Art Period The Realism art period flourished from the mid 1800’s until the late nineteenth century. Its roots started in France after the Revolution of 1848. The monarchy of Louis-Philippe was defeated and the period of the Second Empire began. The French Realist period grew under Napoleon III’s rule. French artists such as Gustave Courbet and Jean-Francois Millet used their paintings as political statements. As the French society looked for democratic reform, the artists of the time depicted working class people doing their everyday jobs. Not only were Courbet’s portraits criticized for their simple and crude style, but also for the scale of the portraits that depicted the often mundane and impoverished lower class. Their goal was to depart from the former Romantic era and portray people and events truthfully and often, “in gritty detail” (Finocchio, 2004, p.1). The artist’s subjects were not posed, smiling out at the world but rather caught in the act of living. Often the subject’s clothes were torn and dirty, their faces tired and worn. Although Realism is often associated with France, it also influenced artists in Russia, England, Germany and the United States. A2. Later Historical Art Period The Impressionism Art Movement was launched in Paris...

...IWT Task 1 (0813) This paper will analyze, critique, and help us to understand the music of the Harlem Renaissance and the Pop Art periods. The social conditions that influenced the art and the characteristics of the artists’ style were in many ways similar; however, with advancing technology, they had differing struggles to overcome. The Harlem Renaissance was sparked by the Great Migration from 1919 – 1926 in which African Americans began moving to northern cities to find employment and a better way of life. The musicians of this era were very influential in renewing the culture and history of the United States. Jazz, race, and class divided Harlem and New York cities. Some historians have said the best way to understand the Harlem Renaissance is by understanding the music (http://historyoftheharlemrenaissance.weebly.com/index.html; www.1920s-fashion-and-music.com/Harlem-Renaissance-1920s.html). With the roots of jazz coming from slave songs, it is truly an African-American invention. This newly formed music utilized the dissonant “blue” note. This modification to the to the standard major scale allowed the musician to play the note flat; usually the third, fifth, or seventh note of the scale. Music critic Sidney Finkelstein stated, “It expresses the hope and struggle for freedom, the vitality which enables a people to wrest joy out of misery and to assert the triumph of human beings over the obstacles that would grind them down.” ("MindEdge," 2014) Jazz was the sound...

...IWT Task I Brandon Sisler Middle ages art also known as Byzantine art. Byzantine coming from the capital of the Roman Empire later being renamed Constantinople. At the time the Roman Empire was under attack causing a great divide. The western empire disintegrated unlike the Eastern or Byzantium that stayed together. During the Great Schism the Catholic’s divided. The earliest of the Middle Ages art show the differences in the developments of the Catholic’s religion in the East from the West. Middle Ages art mainly consisted of religious art. Most of the major Middle Ages artist where members of religious houses. These artist used techniques that resulted in a one dimensional work of art without perspective of the use of shadows. The artist tended to have the subject front facing possessing elongated narrow faces. The Renaissance is considered by historians to be the beginning of the modern age. Renaissance actually means rebirth, a very practical name for the period considering the modernization in science and art. The Renaissance era dates from 1400-1550 deriving from Florence Italy. The art started in the center of a wealthy community deeming it was necessary to fund the cathedrals that were garnished by the most prestigious artist in the area. Most works of Renaissance art are from the religious background but also included domestic themes like marriage, birth and everyday life in the home. It was custom for the artist to study as an apprentice working under an older...

...Dadaism and Pop Art are two art movements from the same century and were both developed in response to war, one in protest and the other celebrating the increase in consumerism after a war. One theme shared by both movements was mocking the established art world. (Pop art) Artists from both movements used images from the street, the mass media, the supermarket, ready-made items, and present them as art in itself. (Pop art) Dada was an international movement starting in 1916 and ending in 1922 that started as a protest of WWI. Many artists were fed up and used their art as a forum to “spit on” nationalism and materialism, which they felt contributed to the war. Because of the war, many artists, especially French and German, found themselves in Zurich where refuge was offered which is where the origin of the movement can be traced to when Hugo Ball opened the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916. (Sniles) Within a few days the core of Dada movement was established with artists such as Emily Hennings, Jean Arp, Tristan Tzara, and Richard Haulsenbeck. (Sniles) There are a couple of theories of how the name Dada came to be with one being French poet Tristan Tzara thrust a knife into pages of a dictionary, randomly finding a name for the movement. (Dada) Officially, Dada was not a movement, the artists not artists, and the art not art and there was one basic rule: Never follow any known rules. (Esaak) As an early form of Shock Art, the artists used mild obscenities, visual puns...

...Literature, Arts and the Humanities: Analysis and Interpretation According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, “Cubism is one of the most influential visual arts styles of the early twentieth century” (http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/cube/hd_cube.htm, n.d.). Previous periods of art tried to mimic nature and cubism rejected that theory. They were known to use multiple viewpoints. The paintings disassembled and reassembled an object in abstract form. The world was very turbulent during the time when cubism was beginning. There were many scientific, cultural and technological discoveries occurring during this time. All the changes in human history were causing many artists to look at their world differently. Cubism looked at objects from different perspectives and the changes occurring during the artists’ time. Most art pieces of this time were not valued in the same manner they are today. The preeminent artist of Cubism is Picasso. The twentieth century Cubism movement spawned most modern art forms. At the height of disassembly art was Geometric Abstraction. This form uses simple geometric forms. They do not represent anything in nature. There was no attempt at creating three-dimensional space. The paintings during this time use straight lines and curves in a linear pattern. This form of art is at times seen as a twentieth century invention, although it can be found as far back as the 5th century (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-geometric-abstraction.htm...

...Running Head: DADAISM AND POP ART 1 IWT Task 1; Dadaism and Pop Art Angela Costa Western Governor’s University IWT Task 1; Dadaism and Pop Art Artistic interpretations have changed and molded tremendously throughout history. Many historical artists found art as an outlet for what was happening currently in their time periods. Dadaism began in Switzerland in 1916 as a response to World War I. Influenced by the earlier Cubism, this style of art ranged from paintings, sculptures, poetry, and photography. Dadaism is well known for the way it ridiculed materialistic and nationalistic attitudes. They were un-conventionalist in every manor. The Dada artists opposed and resented the social classes who thought that they could control the working class. Dadaists were disgusted by the nationalism that fed into World War 1 and were against any form of group leadership or dictatorship. They were upset that the modern European society would allow war to happen and this is how they knew to protest the idea of war. And if war was to happen then any traditions in any facet where thrown out the window, including art. They believed the art at this time had no meaning and if they were to continue to create art, they would make non-art to show that they did not agree with the current dramas. Dadaist tried to separate themselves from society norms in every which way they could. Even the explanation of how they got the name “Dada”...

...IWT Task 1 Comparison of Art Nouveau with Fauvism Sandra Robbins Student ID: 000341001 Western Governors University RN to BSN online Comparison of Art Nouveau with Fauvism A1. Earlier Historical Art Period Art Nouveau was developed during the late 19th century and early 20th century. During that time there was increased industrialism and increase in technology. It was a time of social unrest, oppression, and environmental pollution. The artists of this style reverted back to nature with the discovery of new plants and animals. They reacted against the earlier styles. ("Gateway modern age," 2001). The artists used a sensual theme with ornamental details which included “S” curves and willowy lines ("Short History, n.d.). A2. Later Historical Art Period Fauvism was also developed during the late 19th century and early 20th century and the Industrial Revolution also affected the artists. They had to deal with the pollution and social unrest. They rejected tradition but did so in a more dramatic form. Fauvism looked to nature for inspiration but in much bolder colors and more abstract form. The artists used pure unmixed colors in combination with their own personal expression. It showed the world what color could do, how it can change meaning, create feeling, and cause commotion ("Fauvism," para. 3). Fauvism broke down the traditional styles and paved the way for new. A3. Relationship Art Nouveau from the Impressionism and Post-Impressionism era was the...

...introduction The major objectives of planned development have been increased national income, rural development, self-sufficiency in food, and increased industrial production. However, progress in achieving development goals has been slow. Political turmoil and untamed natural hazards of cyclone and flooding have combined with external economic shocks to persistently derail economic plans. In 1991, with the reinstitution of elected government, a new economic program was initiated that included financial sector reform and liberalization measures to encourage investment, government revenue improvement efforts (realized largely through implementation of a value-added-tax), and tight monetary policy. Income transfer measures, Food-for-Work, and other programs were also implemented to help protect the poorest segments of the population from the transitional effects of structural reform. Fiscal year 2000 was marked by a sharp increase in monetary expansion due to unprecedented borrowing from the banking sector (though the sale of treasury bills) to cover budget shortfalls due. Domestic borrowing increased primarily due to the reduced availability of external concessional financing. For 2001/02, however, the IMF predicted a sharp decline to around 3.5% due to the global economic slowdown and the contractions after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 on the United States. Economic Environment During the early 1990s, Bangladesh made considerable progress in stabilizing and...

...Tutorials, Posters, Panels and Industrial Contributions at ER 2007 Conceptual Modeling for Virtual Reality Olga De Troyer, Frederic Kleinermann, Bram Pellens, and Wesley Bille WISE Research Lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium {olga.detroyer,frederic.kleinermann,bram.pellens, Wesley.Bille}@vub.ac.be Abstract This paper explores the opportunities and challenges for Conceptual Modeling in the domain of Virtual Reality (VR). VR applications are becoming more feasible due to better and faster hardware, and due to new technology and faster network connections they also start to appear on the Internet. However, the development of such applications is still a specialized, time-consuming and expensive process. By introducing a Conceptual Modeling phase into the development process of VR applications, a number of the obstacles preventing a quick spread of this type of applications can be removed. However, existing Conceptual Modeling techniques are too limited for modeling a VR application in an appropriate way. The paper will show how Conceptual Modeling can be done for VR and how this may make VR more accessible to non VR-specialists. Furthermore, the paper will explain how Conceptual Modeling embedded in a semantic framework can provide the basis for semantically rich VR application, which may be essential for its success in the future and its use in the context of the Semantic Web. The paper will also point to some open research problems.. Keywords:...
