...Being a printmaking major I was very interested in work done by Andy Warhol. Learning about his history, techniques and why he does some of the things he does was the reason I picked him to write this research paper. I have selected three different authors that have both similar and different opinions for Warhol. They each talk about specific pieces and talk about different aspects that support the reasons they have in their opinion for Warhol. To start off I will be talking about the opinions I have towards this artist. Printmaking is the process of printing on normally paper in which the artist uses ink to convey multiple images that do not necessarily have a photographic look to them. This allows an artist to manipulate images and able...

...HUMA205-1203A-15 Art Appreciation Steven R Cross AIU Online 10 June, 2012 Abstract Art takes form in many different ways of expression. Some throughout history express a way of life and belief, while others many express an escape for what back then may be the normal thoughts and patterns. The viewer may take from the art, knowledge or feelings of life back then. As time went by people and lifestyles changed as well did art and expression. Art Appreciation Encyclopedia Britannica (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., 2012) describes art as “a visual object or experience consciously created through an expression of skill or imagination. The term art encompasses diverse media such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, decorative arts, photography, and installation”. UBC (Belton, 2008) explains art as “•the product of conscious intention, •a self-rewarding activity, •a tendency to unite dissimilar things, •a concern with change and variety, •the aesthetic exploitation of familiarity vs. surprise, •the aesthetic exploitation of tension vs. release, •the imposition of order on disorder, •the creation of illusions, •an indulgence in sensuousness, •the exhibition of skill, •a desire to convey meanings, •an indulgence in fantasy, •the aggrandizement of self or others, •illustration, •the heightening of existence, •revelation, •personal adornment or embellishment, •therapy, •the giving of meaning to life, •the generation of unselfconscious...

...imaginative or technical skill is intended to be appreciated for its beauty or emotional power. Art is an example of a hobby which in its own way enhances learning and in this paper, we will discuss the different types of art which include visual art, fine art, music, dance and theatre. According to Tyler and Likova (2012), visual arts which is the oldest form of art, can be defined as art forms such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking and architecture. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts however, like the decorative arts, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential in a way that they usually are not in painting. Visual art learning is reliant on a complex system of perceptual, higher cognitive, and motor functions, thus suggesting a shared neural substrate and strong potential for cross-cognitive transfer in learning and creativity (Tyler and Likova, 2012). The ability to tolerate ambiguity and uncertainty during the creative process is an important mental trait. The tolerance for ambiguity is also an important attribute in the learning. According to Tyler and Likova (2012), contemporary research is beginning to explore new neuroscientific hypotheses concerning the effects of learning in activities such as visual arts. Art should be regarded as a cognitive process...

...Art and Culture Introduction Art refers to the variety of human activities and the products of those activities that encompass creative, imaginative and technical skills for instance painting, printmaking decoration, craft and others. However, most of arts are associated with culture and traditions (Finkelstein 21).

Studio craft This is a form of craft that is practiced by self reliance individuals or a group of people working together to fulfill the obligation of the work for instance weaving, metal work, wood turning and glass art.

...progress has overturned the structure of the industry in terms of changes in the entry cost, the degree of market concentration and the degree of product differentiation from the late 19th century to the present. The first real advance in printing technology was the creation of the linotype machine in 1886, which automated the process of arranging characters into lines of type. By the 1970s, though, phototypesetters, which contributed to a lower fixed cost, began to push the linotype machine into obsolescence. By automating the production of the newspaper, the number of papers available to the public greatly increased, while making it affordable for people to purchase one. These developments led to a boom in the newspaper industry where several different newspapers started to appear in major cities. The advent of the computer age and digital technology has significantly altered the printmaking process. Prepress, which covers all the steps prior to running the press, can now be done on personal computers, significantly reduced costs of printing error leading to lower marginal costs. Since the 1990s The Internet has been increasingly replacing newspapers and magazines as the primary source of news and information. In recent years, newspapers and other media have adapted to the changing technology environment by starting to offer online editions to cater to the needs of the public, further brought down marginal costs in terms of delivering and promotion.

...study. Using a Banana Fiber in Paper Making makes a lot of difference in our society because it can help us grow our economic status. By just a Banana Fiber you can make a lot of stuff like paper, but not an ordinary paper. Banana Fiber paper produces a good quality paper. INTRODUCTION Banana paper is used in two different senses: to refer to a paper made from the bark of the banana tree, mainly used for artistic purposes, or paper made from banana fiber, obtained from an industrialized process, from the stem and the non- utilizable fruits. This paper can be either hand-made or made by industrialized machine. Banana fiber is a natural fiber with high strength, which can be blended easily with cotton fiber or other synthetic fibers to produce blended fabric & textiles Banana Fiber also finds use in high quality security/ currency paper, packing cloth for agriculture produce, ships towing ropes, wet drilling cables etc. Our technology includes the scientific know-how, processes, machinery and equipment necessary to convert banana tree trunk into paper. The technology is unique and fits between the conventional pulp & paper technology and the lumber veneering and custom wood technologies. The raw material for making handmade paper could be cotton linter, tailor cuttings, hosiery waste, bast fibers (jute/ hemp etc), wheat straw, rice straw, bagasse, cotton stalk, grasses, different kind of agro and forest wastes, waste paper etc. These raw materials are easily...

You may also include acknowledgement to be followed po ang final prod. You can also add table of contents) Introduction “The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice” Ink is such a tiny word, three letters, but it has played such a huge part on the stage of world history. The original use for ink was to draw and paint on the walls of caves a lasting legacy of prehistoric man. However, its greatest impact was to spread knowledge, in the form of the printed word, long before Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in Germany in the mid fifteenth Century. Ink has been a dye since the dawn of man; early examples were a mixture of soot from wood smoke and oil, thickened with gelatin from animal skins and musk. There is no definitive history of ink, ironic really, when it ink was the medium used to preserve the archives, and historic records that tell us much of our past. Ink is everywhere, though we often do not notice it, it has been used to print the labels of the food in the supermarket; it drips, leaks, splodges, and spurts from the faulty ballpoint pen in your pocket. Yet it has a direct impact on our everyday life, it is not possible to function without touching ink at least a couple of hundred times a day. Fraudulent acts have been come to light because of ink analysis. Ink is a medium that...

OFURE AITO THE STILL PHOTOGRAPHY AS LITERATURE IN THE 21ST CENTURY USING TY BELLO’S WORKS Introduction “Art is about collecting experiences and expressing them. For me music and photography are similar art forms. I collect experiences, stir them in myself and express it in my own language. Just like my photography, music is my language.” Ty Bello Today people live in a visually intensive society and a world of spectacular and exciting images. They are bombarded with an orderly and continuously stream of visual stimulation from all manner of media every day. They see mediated images more often than they read words. Images sell everything. This paper offers an analytical framework for understanding how still photography is Literature in the 21st Century, using TY Bello’s still pictures. According to Aristotle, “There can be no words without images”. The world is surrounded with mediated images in such a way that has never been witnessed in the history of mass communication. Every era has expressed itself in its own way since the beginning. Antiquity was the time of legends, epics and mythical narratives. During the sovereignty of this era, meaning was constructed...
