Lawrence’s Migration of Art Born on September 7th, 1917, Jacob Lawrence was born to be great. His early years of his life were spent moving around, until he and his family settled in Harlem. During his teenage years, he had spent time working on his art, and got his best ideas right in Harlem, where he was grasping visuals and inspiration. As a teenager, he was in different art programs where his art style was already set, and his mentors noticed this early on. Mattern implies that, “Charles…

beauty to change. With the advancement of technology and increase interest in social media may have accelerated the pace of change, but is does not change the substance of the question: what is a beautiful body? The primary focus of Ancient Greek art was that of the human body. Almost all of these sculptures are of nude men. A very common subject was the idealized male body. To Greeks one of the most favorable subject was that of the athlete, as it represented the ideal form. Throughout…

to the Irvington Arts Magnet Community. A community, especially in arts, should foster a good sense of teamwork. Artists should be able to support each other, and provide resources to those who require it. There is no point in creating something beautiful if it does not help anyone. Whether it inspire someone to create their own piece of art, or simply to surface emotions, any piece of art should have an effect. I believe that I will be able to create and display my own type of art in order to…

in painting and influence that it had on other artists. I think it is interesting that this was listed and how exploration and discovery apply to many areas and not just in science and the universe. Da Vinci is a leader in the art industry and has had many influences on art, even up until the modern day. The motivation was the desire to be a fantastic artist and to express the way that Di Vinci felt.…

for every person is it must challenge us. Currently there is a debate of whether schools should choose art electives over technology classes. The Argument for Arts over technology is that the students already learn all of it on their own so there is absolutely no need to teach it. The Argument for Technology is that it is much more relevant for functioning in todays world. The necessity for both Arts and Technology holds true, so instead of posing the dilemma forcing one off the list of options,…

The Byzantine and Ancient Greek eras, two remarkable times in art history that share similarities but greatly differ from each other. The characteristics that they share is not the story behind the work or the meaning of it, but they share the same atmosphere and composition. As well as tones, and textures. In some cases, pieces from these two periods can be confused to be created by the same artist on the same era. Just as they share similarities, they have distinguished differences that makes…

the art museum being a neutral container for the disposal of art and recognized the verbal and visual methods employed in representation that leads to canonization through its establishment as a secular temple . The museum became the facilitator of modern ideological fiction . The ancient rhetoric, that observes the museum as communicator or orator, trying to persuade the public of the importance of its message through ethos, pathos and logos, can be effectively used in order to dissect art…

Art is inspired by the world around it. The techniques, tools, and technology all effect how art is made at a certain point in time. Prehistoric men used cave walls to print their paintings, the subject matter usually being nature or the supernatural. Millions of years later, our artists are still being influenced by the world around them and the tools available. During the Industrial Revolution paint began being sold in tubes, and the realm of those who enjoyed and purchased art was expanded.…

these few weeks? I am a Studio Art Major and throughout the semester I’ve learned many things. There are different ideas that people think “art” is and sometimes this can relate to a person’s background or their beliefs. My view in art has changed somewhat to a degree with learning about the different types of films that there are. I never thought movies could be a form of art. Movies I have realized are a type of media form that can be "sublime" and interact as Art. They have vivid imagery…

I grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a pencil in the other, and I own more art supplies than A.C.Moore. In high school, I have chosen studio art as my elective every year, and I have had four projects selected for Spring-Ford’s annual art show. In one of my favorite pieces, I incorporated music by drawing hands playing a piano in white charcoal on black paper. Then after attending several mission trips throughout high school, I discovered another passion of mine. I realized I like…
