The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art consists of an abundant amount of unique and interesting pieces of art. While touring the museum, I found several pieces of art in which were rather amazing at how they were created; one could tell a lot of thought and hours of dedication were put into each piece. While there were so many pieces to choose from, I chose two pieces which stood out to me the most to discuss in my paper, one is The Jackleg Testament, Part One Jack and Eve: A Woodcut Motion Picture and the second one is Still Life with Papayas and Clementines; both of which are richly unique in their own way.
The Jackleg Testament, Part One Jack and Eve: A Woodcut Motion Picture is exactly what is stated; it is a movie that is in fact an hour and two minutes long. It was created in 2007 by

He remains a storyteller at heart in all cases of his artwork. When creating his animated “motion pictures” he actually makes his own wood cuttings and drawings come to life by scanning them and creating a digital animation with them. Bolotin is very expressive through his visual treatments and also by his musical scores. Bolotin reminds me of William Shakespeare with his lyrics to his motion pictures he created. Bolotin’s motion picture is projected on the wall of Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art in the gallery called Camera Lucida. I did not sit to watch the entire movie that was showing, but I did sit there long enough to capture the art of Bolotin through his motion picture. The Jackleg Testament, Part One Jack and Eve: A Woodcut Motion Picture is clearly not like any other movie I have ever seen, it is almost as if a Shakespeare lyric were brought to life. The characters’ skin were all different colors, some were green and blue, others had more neutral skin tones as actual humans would. Each character had very sharp details, the eyes were piercing, their chins, cheekbones and jawlines were

    Everyone sees art from a different point of view, whether if the piece shows someone sitting on a dock looking at the water or just a simple vase of flowers. When comparing two artworks one will find things they like and find things they dislike, that too may be different than what someone else likes and dislikes. Although the artworks may show a similar object, the pieces are still unique since with anything that has similarities, there are also differences present. At the Wichita Art Museum, two paintings of flowers are on display, William J. Glackens’ Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase and Alfred Maurer’s Still Life with Flower. These two artworks show the similarities and differences through the incorporation of line, shape, color, space, balance, and harmony.…

The most thing that attract people to love the art is the think-looking.

    The Jewish museum follows a model of three major themes that run throughout Jewish history. One of the themes is tradition and the reinterpretation of traditions. We have seen this in our class when it came to the Rabbinate's & Karaites, the Pharisees, Sadducees and Essenes, and the different Rabbi interpretations or the Torah, Talmud, or Mishnah such as Rabbi Rashi or Rabbi Akiva. Throughout the museum, there were copies of the Torah in different structures such as the scroll made of parchment or a codex. There was a Torah that was on a scroll made of parchment written in ink from Tunisia in 1837.…

    The title of my artworks is Up Close I didn’t use any material all they picture were taken inside my house or by my house. I didn’t really use any techniques because I didn’t take the images in a actually camera I took it from a Iphone.

    Codie Muth Type-Scene The Roman Renaissance was a time of creative and incredible skill, in which it was common to see certain religious scenes like the Deposition, the Pieta, and the Lamentation over Christ. While analyzing these paintings from 1400 to 1600 it is obvious that many of these paintings have certain imagery that repeats itself and the different time periods also have distinct styles to them. With each time period the paintings composition, style, imagery, and meaning all affect the viewers emotions that the painting invokes and that was ultimately the artists goal, to not only tell the story of Christ but to make viewers really feel the story of Christ.…

    Merging the Traditional and the Modern Introduction Throughout the history of art, a variety of artists made contributions in expanding the definition of art. Some dedicated their energy in a restrained way as a personal practice, some devoted their energy into fiercely challenging the society’s current aesthetic conventions. The two artists I am going to discuss in this essay are Marcel Duchamp and Gerhard Richter. Even though they lived in different time periods, they are both influential to modern art. They can be controversial for their particular artistic methods which are often being imitated but yet to be surpassed.…
