Art 101 Final Analysis

Improved Essays
I love how involved, free, and undefined sculpture can be. Before this class I felt a well done piece of sculpture was clearcut, realistic, and perfect. I’m glad that throughout this class my view has morphed into something much extensive. Life is not perfect so why do people try so hard to hide from the truth. It’s great how out there and chaotic a sculpture and look at first. But when you truly look and embrace what is or trying to said, you start to see a whole new piece of art. When you enhance your perception, open your mind, and make connections within the sculpture, then what once seems pointless or unappealing starts to make sense. In my eyes I perceive sculpture as the art form with the biggest “voice” and mystery behind the work. You could demonstrate things that you just can’t simply display on a piece of canvas. …show more content…
I wouldn't consider him a sculptor but he thinks like one and its evident in a lot of things he does. He always has: intricate rock projects going on, when we go to certain beach with natural clay he always makes a sculpture to leave for the next person to find, and always does tall balancing rock stacks. Me being around this my whole life made me full of creativity when it came art in general. Throughout grade school I always leaned towards realistic drawing due to my slight perfectionism. I even tried a clay/sculpture class in high school but didn't love it. I feel that your sculpture class really opened me to the right view on sculpture. I grew to love the freedom of the work shop, the limitless possibilities of how or what I could try to make, and how you related sculpture to the world in so many

    Art, Action & Revival by David S. Fetcho is definitely one of the most thought out and thoughtful articles that I have read on the church and theatre in a long time. Fetcho begins his article with stating that “in many ways, the world of art and the Christian church are parallel universes. Both are concerned with the goal of becoming the point of social, psychological and spiritual integration for individuals and for society as a whole.” He’s quite right of course, and goes onto how the church and theatre ought to be married in the dramatic arts. He argues for the idea that the Christian artist, though a hundred years ago would have been crucified in the Church, is valiantly attempting to “reclaim lost ground--reclaiming territory that has…

    Before this class I really didn’t give are much thought but now I have come to learn and appreciate that are is not only pretty pictures or statues. There are different reasons and uses for pieces of art, intended by the artist. Artists use many different colors, textures and techniques to reach their different audiences. Along with materials and objects, space and time period also influence art. No matter what the artist portrays, the audiences perceive it and appreciate it in different ways.…

    Within the excerpt from “Looking at African Sculpture”, Frank Willett discusses the perception of African sculpture in western culture. Furthermore, certain aspects of these art pieces can be enjoyed without background, whereas others need the context. For example, the physical features of a sculpture can be enjoyed by a viewer without knowing any background knowledge. This satisfaction can arise from an individual's own judgements or even certain aesthetic qualities that the piece possesses. Willett provides a great key question for when making your own assumptions, “What does this sculpture mean to me?”…

Mycenae is located on top of a small mountain. The gate is ten feet both wide and high, and narrows as it rises. The triangular shape prevents the lintel from falling in and breaking by evenly distributing weight.…

    Exiting Pratt Institute with a degree in sculpture into the Big Apple, I held my breath and clutched the edge of my seat. I remembered how confident and prepared I had felt before beginning my college adventure. Having been a part of RAW Art Works for three years before entering Pratt, my RAW family had empowered and gave me skills that I still cherish today. But while studying at school, I quickly realized that the family I had at RAW was not easy to come by or to be recreated. The day I graduated from Pratt, I left feeling incredibly proud of the work and growth I had made as an artist and now young man.…

    Although things are not as extreme as Farrell states in his essay in regards to music being a lower class activity [a step above prostitution], similar observations are still relevant today. At least in my personal experience, individuals that go in the “arts” are looked down upon and are often “joked” to not ever receiving a stable job. Nowadays, artists of all kind struggle to make ends meet due to the instability, and when stable, not a stable enough income. I couldn’t have agreed with you more, Aaron. Even though in the United States, we do not follow a “system” that India has, it’s interesting to see how the arts is always at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of “societal priorities.”…

    Built in 1880, it became Rodin's first creation to be publicly shown under his name. Its height stands at 178 centimeters, or around 70 inches, and is made entirely out of bronze metal. The art movement Rodin drew inspiration from when creating this life-size sculpture was impressionism. Impressionism is an art form that results in "short, broken brushstrokes that barely convey forms, pure unblended colors, and an emphasis on the effects of light" (Samu, 2004)…

    1 INTRODUCTION Stefan Sagmeister is a world famous artist specializing in graphic design, typography, interactive and environmental art (Stefan Sagmeister 2017). He uses his art to confront many controversial topics and allows his audiences to take part in his art. We will be able to see Sagmeister's causes and design strategies by looking at a few key Marxist theories such as how two opposites cannot exist without one another and how we place ourselves in our social structure relative to others. We will do this by using his artworks Everybody always thinks that they are right, Obsessions make my life worse but my work better, and The happy show. 2 RESEARCH AND VISUAL ANALYSIS Firstly we have figure 1, Everybody always thinks that they are…
