...ART 2 • MUSEUM – BASED ESSAY • DUE: MAY 4/5 Suggested Locations* L.A. Country Museum of Art (LACMA) • lacma.org for info. The Getty Center (Santa Monica) or Getty Villa (Malibu) • getty.edu for info. The assignment is to write an expository essay that focuses on an interpretation of one artwork using a specific symbol or theme (see examples below). Your interpretation must include an analysis of the subject & style of artwork in relation to the function of the object, as we do in class. (Remember the 4 Steps of Interpretation). Also, you should identify the style characteristics of the period-culture to which it belongs. In the paper you will provide “proof” for identifying style and/or meaning by comparing it to objects in your textbook. This assignment is NOT a “report.” That is, you will not find much information about the artwork at the museum. The point of this paper is to interpret the object based on similarities to other objects that are more “known.” Your interpretation should be made primarily of your own observations in relation to the information provided by the textbook and research you conduct about the artworks’ style, symbolism, cultural context, etc. You must support your observations with facts. Also you must properly cite your sources of information in a works cited list. Consult the articles on writing available on our MyECC teamsite in the Writing Resources folder. Examples of Symbols: sun, moon, star, flower, halo, cross, tree, horn, offering...

During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science". -"the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others". 2. destinction of an art as aesthetic - Art aesthetics is the philosophy of art, and naturally tries to arrive at statements about representation, coherent form, emotive expression and social purpose that are universally true, independent of context and speaker. Unfortunately, that very generality means that aesthetics can often be used to justify a very doubtful piece of work. Aesthetics is for the artist as Ornithology is for the birds.— Barnett Newman 3.

...Sonam Sonam ART 1011, Section QMW Assignment #1: Museum Response My trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art was my first visit as it had only been some couple of months that i have been here in the U.S. As i got there, i found out that i was at the wrong entrance because the entrance where i was at was only for senior citizens and people with wheelchairs and strollers. So, I took the stairs and went to the counter to get the tickets. All their staffs were very friendly and were very happy to answer any questions. The museum was huge and if i would not have had the map then i would have been completely lost. The visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art was more like an opportunity for me to understand the concept ancient art and cultures practically. The feeling when you look at a work of art in a textbook was completely different than when you looked at it live. I felt like i had gone back to...

...Arts Integration is “an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area and meets evolving objectives in both.” Across the United States there has been an increasing awareness of arts integration in various subject areas such as science, language arts, mathematics, and social studies. When comparing mathematics and art people quite often see them as two completely divided entities. In education, mathematics was a rational, cognitive, “left-brain” activity, while art was viewed as a feeling, emotional, “right-brain” activity. The truth is that math and the arts share some similar qualities that make them...

...known as the pioneer of cubism (“Pablo Picasso Biography”). By his death in 1973, over twenty-two thousand pieces of wok have been documented (“Pablo Picasso and his Paintings”). The Life of Picasso Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso was born in 1881, in Spain. Pablo Picasso, as he known by, was the son of Don José Ruiz Blasco, a painter and art teacher with whom Picasso studied under until he was thirteen years old, when he surpassed his father’s skill. When he was fourteen, his family moved to Barcelona, where he accepted into the city’s school of fine arts, despite the school generally only accepting older students. Two years later, Picasso moved to Madrid to attend the Royal Academy of San Fernando which only lasted two years due to the school’s lack of variety to appeal to Picasso (“Pablo Diego José…”). In 1901, Picasso moved to Paris to open his own studio. He found it to be the ideal place to practice new styles and art forms (“Pablo Picasso Biography”). From that point in his career he began his “Blue Period,” from 1901 to 1904. Depressed and lonely from the death of his close friend, Carlos Casagemas, blues, blacks, and grays dominated his pictures depicting poverty isolation, and anguish. Picasso quickly fell in love with model, Fernande Olivier, and by 1905 he had entered his “Rose Period.” This period was dominated by pinks, beiges, and reds. In 1907, Picasso...

...OBLIGATIONS AND CONTRACTS REVIEWER TITLE I – OBLIGATIONS CHAPTER 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS 1156. An obligation is a juridical necessity to give, to do, or not to do. JURIDICAL NECESSITY – juridical tie; connotes that in case of noncompliance, there will be legal sanctions. • • An obligation is nothing more than the duty of a person (obligor) to satisfy a specific demandable claim of another person (obligee) which, if breached, is enforceable in court. A contract necessarily gives rise to an obligation but an obligation does not always need to have a contract. KINDS OF OBLIGATION A. From the viewpoint of “sanction” - (a) CIVIL OBLIGATION – that defined in Article 1156; an obligation, if not fulfilled when it becomes due and demandable, may be enforced in court through action; based on law; the sanction is judicial due process (b) NATURAL OBLIGATION – defined in Article 1423; a special kind of obligation which cannot be enforced in court but which authorizes the retention of the voluntary payment or performance made by the debtor; based on equity and natural law. (i.e. when there is prescription of duty to pay, still, the obligor paid his dues to the obligee – the obligor cannot recover his payment even there is prescription) the sanction is the law, but only conscience had originally motivated the payment. (c) MORAL OBLIGATION – the sanction is conscience or morality, or the law of the church. (Note: If a Catholic promises to hear mass for 10 consecutive...

...ART 110 – Art Appreciation Assignment #3 Chapter 3 – Visual Elements 1. What is the style of the assigned work? Define the style. The assigned work is The Liberation of the Peon, a Political Protest piece by Diego Rivera. This piece shows a beaten slave’s body being covered up while his master’s farm is burned. It was intended to demonstrate the anger, fear, and corruption in Mexico in 1931. 2. What is “line”? A line is simply defined in our textbook as an extension of a point. There are many different variations and characteristics of a line. A line can be straight and solid, curved or dotted, lines can cross, they can be fold or faded, and help create the appearance of movement, lighting effects, shading, and so much more. 3. How is line used in the assigned work? Diego Rivera uses line for smoothness and texture in The Liberation of the Peon. His lines show the hair on the horses manes, the smoothness of the naked slaves body, the texture of the ground in the field they are standing in, and shows the transparent nature of the flames coming from the farm house in the background. 4. What is “shape”? Our textbook defines shape as, “the expanse within the outline of a two-dimensional area or within the outer boundaries of a three-dimensional object.” The word shape is described as being interchangeable with the words mass and form. I would describe shape as being the form that an object takes. Water can have a shape though that shape can change depending...
