Art materials

across an image that would forever change my aspect on art. It happened to be a sculpture of half a face, which belonged to a woman. Later on that day I did some research of my own and found out the name of that piece was entitled Fragment of the face of a queen. The sculpture spoke on so many things at once, that it was more than amazing. What made that creations hold so much beauty is that it contained so much detailing within it, the material was different, the sculpture had a mysterious…

In the world of art and sculpture, Edgar Degas’ The Little Dancer’s meaning is decidedly undecided. When the sculpture was first presented to the world in 1881, people reacted strongly in both good and bad ways because of just how different this sculpture was. The figure is rigid – in what looks like a stretch – and the face isn’t posed but natural and what some would call ugly. I found the sculpture to be profoundly refreshing due to the detail in every part of it, the unique authenticity, and…

individual artistic personality. Van Gough’s art for instance is most likely seen through the framework of his sufferings. How does knowing that Van Gough killed himself change his works? This is truly a question that can only be answered in the mind of each individual viewer. The list of instances and examples of illicit artists is long and branches into many forms of art with varying opinions from viewers. Recently there has been an explosive proliferation of art associated with serial…

learned from this class, was context. Context is a set of conditions or facts that surround a particular event or situation. It also includes when the work of art was made, where it was made, how it was made, and for what purpose was it made for. When looking at an art work the context of it is looked at very carefully to determine the arts excellence. You can use this word when you are examining a sculpture or a painting. So for example you are looking at the David sculpture which was made in…

San Jose CA, there is a cultural event known as the “South FIRST FRIDAYS Art Walk” that I have been interested on for some time, although, have never been able to attended. By mid-March, while looking at the First Friday e-bulletin, I read about the “Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americano, MACLA” and the “17th Latino Art Now! exhibit presented through beginning of April to mi-May, and felt compelled to visit the art space for the Chicano/Latino Culture project. On Monday April 20, 2015, I…

The theme and the message of artistic art forms are largely at the mercy of the various perceptions that individuals have about them as no two individual perceptions are completely alike. This notion is especially evident when reviewing and interpreting the ideas of classical film theorists and their opinions on the purpose of what the unique art form of film is meant to be, and what methods should be used in order to achieve that purpose. This contrasting difference across different realms of…

this time. Just like other culture it pottery was a common job for the females. Japan was known for having harmony with nature. For instant Haniwa Figure (300-710 CE), a warrior figure made of clay. They clay is use for the respect of nature materials. Buddhist art of Chinese and Korea arrived to Japan. No a surprise to find Buddha figure in japan. Japan also had many scroll painting like China. Their painting were closely related to nature. Japanese wrote with a brush and their familiarity with…

could have been sculpted there. In this time period, one can conclude that there has been many tributes to Ur-Namma if he has not only stele made for him, but an entire pyramidal structure dedicated to him, as well. What drew me into this piece of art in the museum was that it's only a fragment. The entire stele is not shown, but just a small portion of its history is on display. The rest will never be seen. The stele has a cloud of mystery surrounding it. We are only left up to our imagination…

implementation affect Arts curricula and the way the arts are created and approached? Technology has been a very up and coming source used in all cases of everyday life. More and more, we are finding ways that technology can take the place of a tool or way of doing something. A concerning topic is whether or not switching over to so much technology is a good thing. There is becoming more technology put into the education curricula than ever before. Now so, it is moving into the Arts. As we…
