...naturalism occurred with the emphasis on the body and bodily experience, the evolution of the figurative representations of human forms and the meaning behind each component can be traced with the cultural progression. Starting with their adoption from the Egyptians to the canon of Polykleitos, the Greeks centered their art work around the praising of life and the contemporary. Each stage of transition would be influenced by their religious beliefs, societal structure, and the maintaining of roles in society....

...explained in his ted talk, “How Movies Teach Manhood”, that movies have a large effect in how young boys and girls develop to be when they’re older. He talks about how boys are taught to be brave and athletic and how girls are taught to “let the man do the work.” This makes society a very unforgiving place and allows bad stereotypes to be mainstream. It affects young children in such a big way that it can influence their self confidence when they are older. An archetypal pattern in many stories throughout the world is the idealized female character. This means that there is usually a female character that is made perfect in every way and is almost impossible to be like. This...

...Greek humanism is similar to that of the European Renaissance in that there was a shift in focus from a god or the gods to that of man. With Greek humanism there is a focus on the human form and human ability. In that the art, architecture and writing was not solely to honor or please the gods but to honor mans ability to create such works. The Doryphoros (Fig. 4, Pg. 153, Sayre), was briefly, discussed in class but there was an idea it presented that has a connection in modern culture that was interesting, idealization. The sculpture itself is a copy of the original by Polyclitus. It is large in size, standing six foot four inches.

...Amy Schumer’s Criticism Of Pop Music: “Milk Milk Lemonade” In relatively recent years, pop music has been all about odes to, for lack of a better term, the female booty. From Sir Mix-a-lot’s “Baby Got Back” to Sisqo’s “Thong Song”, and Iggy Azalea’s “Booty” to Nicki Minaj’s, ever popular, “Anaconda”, it becomes quite evident when we listen to the radio that big-booty anthems are a huge part of our society. Having been products of a patriarchal society, the sexualization and objectification of women are more common now than ever. “Milk Milk Lemonade”, a song Amy Schumer released April earlier this year, is an interesting take on the classic playground anthem, “Milk, milk, lemonade / 'round the corner fudge is made.”. At first glance this...

...The role of women in society has been greatly overseen in the last few decades. They are now becoming a more of a perspective to people, but in the earlier days, women were not seen in the workplace. They were seen as mothers taking care of children, or any household duties like cooking and cleaning. Soon enough the role of women gradually changed as they became to voice their opinions. Throughout history, the roles of men and women would always be directed by gender. Traditionally, women in America were limited in their roles. Women were once seen as only needed to bear children and take care of household activities such as cooking and cleaning, while their husband would provide for his family. It was common for a man to go out and provide for his family while the woman would stay at home and take care of all the necessary household chores and children. A married women always took the husband's status. Even though we are seeing more and more women succeeding in life, American culture still defines a women as unequal. Society has set men and women apart by labeling them. Men have always been portrayed as the dominant sex. They have always been seen as strong and aggressive vs. women as weak. The culture effortlessly portrays women that they cannot perform jobs like men do; jobs like policemen, firefighters, and running corporate establishments. Society looks at women and puts a negative slide to them, because of most jobs like these having the image of male dominance or masculinity...

The argument here is that women are not property, but are actually people, who should have the rights afforded to any mentally capable adult human. At this time, this idea was not only a new, it was largely controversial. Women, were simply not seen a equals. They did not have representation politically, then had no virtually no voice. Women also no rights over property, and no way of initiating a divorce. Only men at that could ask for a divorce, in which men were always given custody of the children. The other argument here is that women do not are disenfranchised from offering their skills to society. As the document points out nearly half the population was not being allowed to...

Huck and Tom have had very different childhoods, they have different character traits, and the roles in their friendship also differ greatly. Huckleberry Finn has had a very unconventional childhood. With the absence of his father, Huck has been taking care of himself most of his life. Tom on the other hand has come from a stable home and a good upbringing. Tom has been brought up properly, born and raised in the middle class of society. Tom has access to education and books that provide him with a sense of adventure.

...the improved weather and farming equipment and system improvement, farming production increased and influenced society. These three factors combined revolutionized the way of living in Europe during the 19th century. The agricultural revolution changed the way people worked and the jobs that could be found in 19th century European society. The new way of farming eliminated many farm jobs causing society to seek out jobs elsewhere, such as coalmines. * * Industrial Revolution 1. The three most important contributing factors of the industrial revolution include: the invention of many machines to eliminate the need for hand tools, the use of steam to relieve physical labor of humans and animals and the utilization of the factory system. These three factors changed the way that people worked and increased production within European society. * 1. Working conditions in coalmines and factories between 1800 and 1850 were very poor and extremely dangerous. Coal was mined in very primitive ways and often times miners were brought out of the mine in a bucket pulled by a single rope, resulting in many injuries and deaths. http://www.saburchill.com/history/chapters/IR/039.html [retrieved December 17, 2012]. * Western Social Change Between 1815 and 1914 1.

...This rejection of one of the first public monuments foreshadowed a spirit of similar debate that would endure for centuries about public space and what is symbolizes. It was not until after Washington’s death that a new monument was proposed to honor the general. This proposal sparked a different debate, this time bringing to light the question about private versus public space. Judge Bushrod Washington, nephew of George Washington, wanted the late president’s remains to stay in the family’s private vault, whereas Congress wanted to erect a crypt in the center of the Capitol’s dome. Again, people rejected this proposal citing that its monarchical imagery promoted the idealization of Washington, making him appear to be a “divine figure.” Despite trying to make the capitol’s public spaces democratic and reflective of the new nation’s values, L’Enfant’s intent for the city was changing before his planned spaces were even...

...artworks were fall into the second aesthetic principles as Artemisia’s artworks were important drawing to her. Artemisia who was rape and then spent the rest of her life to draw her personal revenged upon men. Artemisia was learned the stylist techniques from her father, Orazio, who was followed Caravaggio’s styles. However, Artemisia’s artworks were much more naturalistic while Orazio’s artworks or Caravaggio’s styles were idealization. Artemisia had painted many different pieces of art. They were very impressive artworks. The painting color and the drama on her artworks were well posed to tell the truths. The light and shade of the painting were sharp and neutral matching. However, her talent had been forgotten by the people for decades. No one had paid attention on Artemisia’s hard work. Her artworks were neither shown in the museums nor written in the history books. I think that we should treat Artemisia’s artworks just like other male artists’ artworks at the time. We should change our point of view. Artemisia’s truly talent should be recognized by the society. Artemisia’s painting had aesthetic value that was worthy to capture our attention. Women and men should be equal. We are all human beings, so we should be equal in mentality. To exhibit Artemisia’s artworks will encourage more talent women entering the art career. ...

...What are five of the most important ideas or people to come from Ancient Greece? I believe the most important contribution from Ancient Greece is, from the information uncovered so far, that their education was less compartmentalized than what is found today. This meant that individuals had influence in more than one area, and their search for a set of rules that could use to apply to their areas of interest (page 108). In modern society, Socrates is mostly remembered for and credited with founding Western philosophy, but we have accounts of his influence in other fields. His original profession was as a stonemason (page 98), but his influence can be found in law and ethics with his influence on his pupil Plato (page 100), in art by describing the idealization process to the painter Parrhasius (page 111), and his cross examination and inductive reasoning techniques are the basis for the Scientific Method (page 98). Socrates influence can also be found indirectly in Greek drama, as he was the subject of the comedy The Clouds written by Aristophanes. Another person whose influence stretched over more than one field of study was Pythagoras. He is known as the father of pure mathematics and his major contribution is known to us as the Pythagorean Theorem (page 96). But his influence can also be felt is music because his study of ratios led him to understand that music is controlled by mathematical ratios (pages 96, 123). His views on proportion and symmetry not only influenced...

...of paint and left brush strokes to vie paintings new dimensions. During this time period nature influenced these artist the most. The traditional government paintings were rejected by Impressionism artist in lieu of paintings that expressed the light and beauty of nature. The Impressionism movement was launched by Eduoard Manet, Edgar Degas, Claude Moent, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Mary Cassatt. Together they formed the group known as the Anonymous Society of Painters. They revolutionized Western conceptions of painting. Although they were collectively known as the Anonymous Society of painters they were independent paints with different approaches to their style of painting. They were all however, criticized for the finish of their work which appeared to be sketch like. Their subjects were commonplace including landscapes, leisure and recreation in open air or “en plein air” settings, using quick and spontaneous brushstrokes to depict the fluctuation of light. Their subjects were captured by observation rather than idealization and they sought to capture typical moments in life with no moral message, rather than poses or dramatic scenes. They put special emphasis on and paid attention to the effects of light, atmosphere and movement using bold treatments in form of color and space. Japanese wood block prints influenced many of the Impressionists, as did photography. They added interesting perspectives such as from above, tilted or cropped. They also developed a new practice...

...Appreciation HUMA 205 June 25, 2013 Abstract I will attempt to compare and contrast two pieces of art work from the renaissance period. Out of our textbook I chose a piece by Masaccio, The Holy Trinity. The piece of art I chose from a website is from Leonardo da Vinci called Madonna and Child. Both pieces of art are masterpieces of the early renaissance period. Renaissance Paintings and the Artists For many Europeans the renaissance was a period of achievement and worldwide exploration. It was a time of discovery. A time of new and renewed understanding that changed the medieval times and laid the foundation for modern society. Masaccio became the first major painter of the Italian Renaissance. He greatly influenced the art of painting in the renaissance. He moved Italian painting away from the idealizations of Gothic art and presenting his work as a more profound, natural, and humanist world. The Holy Trinity was the last painting he did and is considered one of his greatest masterpieces. Masaccio constructed his masterpiece with simplicity and naturalistic, three dimensionality. (The Holy Trinity by Masaccio, nd) The Holy Trinity was one of the first paintings Masaccio used the linear perspective. Linear perspective is a mathematical system used for creating three dimensional shapes and figures on a flat surface. He used perspective to make the illusion of three dimensions. The perspective lines draw the viewer into the painting. Masaccio...

...Brandon Gregg Second Ethics Assignment Dr. Wesley Palmer Normatively, care ethics seeks to maintain relationships by contextualizing and promoting the well-being of care-givers and care-receivers in a network of social relations. Most often defined as a practice or virtue rather than a theory as such, "care" involves maintaining the world of, and meeting the needs of, yourself and others. It builds on the motivation to care for those who are dependent and vulnerable, and it is inspired by both memories of being cared for and the idealizations of self. If I’m a manager of a company where I make and sell products, I have to make sure that the customers get what they deserve, which is good product, and make sure that the employees are working in a safe environment. Customers are the most important people for any organization. They are the resource upon which the success of the business depends. When thinking about the importance of customers it is useful to remember the following points: Repeat business is the backbone of selling. It helps to provide revenue and certainty for the business. Organizations are dependent upon their customers. If they do not develop customer loyalty and satisfaction, they could lose their customers. Without customers the organization would not exist. The purpose of the organization is to fulfill the needs of the customers. The customer makes it possible to achieve business aims. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of the selling...

...Mr. Spence | Pop Art | A Creative American art movement | || Art 0150/03 | | Art Research project “Pop Art” Beginning in Britain in the late 1950’s, Pop Art was an exquisite way to express independence around the society, during this time Britain was emerging from ‘post war’ years. Pop art began as a movement that expressed modern times. The first people to begin using the term Pop Art was a group of artist who called themselves The Independent Group. These students attended the Institute of Contemporary Art in London. The meaning of pop art is to appreciate popular/mass culture, otherwise known as the “visual art movement”. Before pop art, artist used abstract ways to compel their paintings. They also used geometric shapes in their pictures, such as circles, lines, triangles, cubes and cones. Pop artist embraced post W11 and the media boom from after the war. Pop art began as the marketing for commercial goods and the endorsement of the products the society socialized.
