The time--eight years--spent on creating this work is extraordinary. In my opinion, this alone merits The Rose’s inclusion in this and all other art history classes.…

    Herdswoman Familiarity: Timelessness in Art. Amidst the many art styles in Western history, the rococo style stands out as one of the most defining styles. As an evolution from the baroque period, rococo paintings have cemented themselves with asymmetry and pastel colors, evoking playful themes as opposed to political themes of the past. Upon visiting the Dallas Museum of Art, I encountered the rococo painting, Landscape with Distant Buildings and a Herdswoman, while perusing the museum’s various collections.…

    For the final project I will compare two works of art from different medium and explain their common theme of beauty and compare it to a contemporary work that also shares the theme. The first work is a beautiful painting by Botticilli called “Birth of Venus” and the second is a poem by Poliziano called “Stanze per la Giostra” that describes the painting. They were both done in the Early Renaissance period in Italy. I will compare both works and show how each expresses the beauty of Venus (one in the form of a painting and the other with words from a poem). They will also be compared to a contemporary work of art to show how beauty is perceived today and if it has and/or has not changed throughout the centuries.…

    In her 2006 article “The Trouble with (the Term) Art”, Carolyn Dean argues that the using the word “art” for both past visual expressions (particularly nonwestern) does not quite capture the true definition of what these pieces are. This argument is valid, to consider these works as mere entertainment erases a culture’s true history and identity. Dean has a very strong argument for the analysis and retirement of the term “art”, however the ideas surrounding the concept of “art” explain the larger issue as a whole. Carolyn Dean argues that pinning the recent idea of “art” on nonwestern works does not inform one about the culture, but rather condenses that culture into easily defined novelties.…

    It is well known that Western culture and the Western world has endeavored to assert itself over other cultures for many centuries. Beginning with the colonization of groups of people deemed lesser by the standards of white Europeans, who often forced their customs or religion on people they had colonized, Western civilizations continue to push their cultural standards on other parts of the world, especially when it pertains to art. In the essay, “The Trouble with the Term Art”, Carolyn Dean raises questions about the overwhelming western standard of art, and how different cultures have different views of aesthetic beauty. The central argument of Dean’s essay is that the normal definition of art has been skewed to only include the values of Western society.…

    Human beings always have had an innate ability to imagine and create that what lies beyond just a primal, basic understanding of the world around them. It is this nature that overflows with ingenuity and vision that begs to be conveyed through something that has existed since the dawn of humanity. Artistic expression is an undeniable epicenter of the human identity. The arts are such a rooted part of the human identity that every society, culture, civilization, and group emulates some form of it, from pottery in Ancient Egypt to Shakespearean plays in 18th Century England. With this in mind, philosophers have attempted to answer throughout history the burning questions pertaining to this need and appreciation for the arts, to explain what stimulates…
