Compare And Contrast The Standards Of Art During The 1600s And 1800s

Decent Essays
During the 1600s and 1800s standards of art and style was set by wealthy families, governments, and influential people. Today I feel as if art is a lot more independent and less rule oriented. Notably, I have seen that art can now be done on almost any material or object. Including on a computer or tablet, artists are creating different techniques to produce art. This also includes the use of using the old style of photography that was invented back in the 1700s, photography and video production are very popular art forms. Now almost anyone can make their art become noticed by using the Internet. Attention from social media may gives photographers even larger market and audience. Art is more democratically produced now a days.

In my opinion,

    During the Renaissance period of the 14th to 17th century, art and architecture between Northern Europe and Italy were both similar and different in many ways. From the detailed work of everyday life of the North to the Neoplatonic allegories of Italian work, the Renaissance was a time of transition and strength. The most dominant similarity between Northern European and Italian Renaissance artwork lies behind the meaning of humanism. During the Renaissance, there was “rebirth of culture”; a shift towards people acknowledging human achievement.

    Throughout this course I have gained more of an appreciation for artwork and the artists that create them. I have also gained an appreciation for the people that try to define what art is in general or more specifically what makes good art. We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their thought with our class, I feel I am in a much better place as to define what makes good art myself. I define art as anything created by someone that inspires another to appreciation.…

All of these have impacted my life living in the United States.…

    As Standage reassures the reader: “their merits outweigh their drawbacks” (Standage). Both younger and older generations have different reasons for using social media platforms and the simplicity of how they work will only allow for more people to begin using these platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) in the years to come. The biggest problem that will still be around is the fact that the users of social media platforms will keep the egotistic idea that the medium revolves around them when it really doesn’t after being re-evaluated. Social mediums will always be around whether it be for spreading knowledge or just simply wasting time instead of doing something more productive but the fact of the matter is that from both Ham and Standage’s articles, social mediums are only what people make them out to be from how they use Facebook or Twitter.…
