Evolution of Art. I will be demonstrating how art has changed over time. From the Stone Age to modern day, art has had some dramatic changes b. Why did I choose it this theme?

Starting from the Stone Age, it took man 25,000 years to develop art with language, but every since the 1950s it’s as if a new style of art develops every decade. This theme also gives the development of art some perspective

My experience in the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) was one that I won’t soon forget. I found being surrounded by all of these beautiful pieces of art to be an amazing feeling. I have had similar experiences, but I've never been asked to actually exam the art. Due to the material I’ve learned in Basic Design, it has made me appreciate the work much more. If anything, it enhanced my experience. During my time at the DIA there was one particular piece of art that did catch my eye: Ellen’s Isle, Loch

The beauty in literate and film is the ability of the artist to mold themes and motifs to fit unusual circumstances and even give them multiple layers. The skill of applying a common trope to not just one obvious character but many within the narrative allows the story to relate to the human experience on a deeper level. Perhaps the most commonly explored trope is that of “sins of the past” specifically their effect on several generations. Director Guillermo del Toro represent this theme in his movie

The painting, The Dispute between Minerva and Neptune over the Naming of the City of Athens by René-Antoine Houasse, can relate to the book, The Odyssey by Homer, because when looking at the painting many predictions can be made about The Odyssey in relation to the painting. For instance, the most noticeable fact when looking at this painting is the possible conflict between the characters (a man vs man conflict).

Christian Art is an entryway into the artist’s emotions, dedication, and sacrifice, displaying their devotion and love for God. During the Middles Ages, artist expressed their feelings through paintings, mosaics, and sculptures. The rich colors, beautiful architecture, and carefully carved statues are just a few reasons Christian Art is important to the Gospel today. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith (Romans, 12:6)

Art has a clever way of evoking feelings and even moods. You can look at a painting with heavy tones of red and it’ll give off a mood of anger or love. Or if the painting has faces on it, you can look at their facial expressions and figure out the emotions that are going on. The art piece that I’ll be analyzing today is The Judgment of Solomon (c.1850 oil on canvas) by Joseph Van Severdonck. This painting was low relief due to the heavy use of shadows. The frantic movement of the two women, the value

Humanity has always had a fickle obsession with capturing the world around them and putting them into little boxes.

The age old phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words”, is a lie, and Sontag’s essay assures us of that. Words can carry knowledge, an ability
