Body art

How does Marilyn Arsem use durational performance to show how the body goes through time? Marilyn Arsem is an American contemporary artist who has been creating live art since 1975. “Her work bridges the boundaries between performance in everyday life (or cultural performance) and performance art.” (Anderson and Arsem, 1995).

which tells the viewer what people appreciated and how they represented it through art. I have notice a change in the body forms during the Archaic period, Classical Period, and the Roman empire. When it comes to the human form, it is always changing and the best way to see it by looking at sculptures. In the Archaic period, the politics of Athens when through a series of serious changes during its period. Most of their art work had a geometric style. The Kouros (ca.590-580 BCE.) for example,…

The painting The Jungle by Wilfredo Lam was created in 1943 C.E. The medium used for the painting was gouache on paper, which is mounted on canvas. This work of art hangs in The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, New York. The color of blue is used throughout the painting, along with a few strokes of yellow, orange, and green. Many bamboo plants and leaves are shown in the background suggesting the setting on a farm or plantation and show the use of organic shapes. Several distorted figures…

In many ways the 60s of the 20th century have given art a new face. The artistic reactions to formative events and sentiments of their time designed a portrait of an era, which revealed complex social changes, turbulent political developments and rapid technological progress. Since the end of the second World War artists conceptualized new artistic ideas like autonomy, authorship, form, originality and transformed them into their own language in order to find a new artistic technique. One of…

edited images in his review of his student’s art. Today’s students only rely on one form of medium, the computer, to create their art. They do not learn how to use various instruments to create different forms of art, only seeing one perspective (Alcorn 18). Students should have the basic experience with multiple forms of art in order to find new, fresh ways to look at things. This technological development doesn’t allow for students to bond with their art. Instead of using a paintbrush or…

museum also features sculptures, drawings, decorative arts, and even manuscripts. While at The Getty, there was much art to observe, but I had settled on three distinct pieces of art. All of the pieces of art were Italian and were created before the 1500s. The titles of the pieces of art are Branchini Madonna, Martyrdom of Pope-Saint Caius, and The Madonna and Child. The pieces were all great pieces of art and were distinct in their nature. The art gives insight as to how society was during that…

present day are Jonathan Borofsky and Michael Heizer, both men are American artists that specialize in sculptures though their art forms are different, they share a basic love of art and view that the process to create art that is loved is more important that the monetary gains or commercial appeal of their creations.

the ancient Greeks. In the visual arts, it is a term that define a standing human figure is poised, which the sculpture has to look comfortable and natural. For example, put all the body weight on one leg, twist shoulders and arms, bent at the knee, etc. After watching the video, I can tell that the two sculptures have a lot differences, even though they both from Greece. The sculpture on the left named Kouros; was made in the 500s B.C.E. The details on his body are not clear and bold, it is…

the regular painter where you use paint and a brush. This type of art is very important because they say a picture can say 1,000 words. That’s special what you feel that a picture is saying someone may view it differently but it’s your opinion so you can’t be wrong. These types of art can benefit you personally because you can truly love a picture so much and connect with what you feel that the picture is saying. This type of art can be physical because you can touch the pictures. You feel the…

One of the least common art forms in the contemporary art world is the mosaic. Compared to the more common art forms such as painting or ceramics, mosaics have decreased in use from their peak in the ancient world. However, this does not diminish the importance and beauty of mosaics, but rather allows modern societies to admire an art form that it is unfamiliar and exotic, with many intricacies that are not at first obvious. Commissioned mainly by the rich, mosaics grew and spread across the…
