Cave painting

can be seen in the lonely figures of the Massacres at Chios along with the “Greek Families Awaiting Death or Slavery”. The bodies are painted in a traditional style, their magnitudes close to real life but slightly romanticized. The theme of the painting is based on the real life event that had occurred two years earlier to the conclusion of this works. For almost four centuries the Greeks has been under occupation by the Turks but it wasn't until 1822 that the Greeks decided to fight for…

drawing, painting and sculpting. This is where he really started to appreciate science. Leonardo had little formal education (Basic reading, writing, and mathematics). He earned a place in the painter’s guild in 1472 when he was 20 years old. Leonardo studied the laws of science and nature, which informed his work as a painter, sculptor, architect, inventor, military engineer and draftsman. He would study nature and sketched a lot of the world around him. He studied rock formations and caves and…

(if we consider the Arnolfini Portrait (fig.2) as a kind of certificate rather than a portrait), but the depiction in Christus’s painting seems immature and the depth of the room defies common sense. As the figure seems too large for this narrow space, it could be inferred that the perspective may not accord with nature and that the background was added to the painting to suggest space. Hans Memling, a German-born artist who was apprenticed under Rogier van der Weyden and then moved to Brussels…

Paint has been in use from prehistoric times and has played an important role in decorative art over the centuries. Two of the oldest and most respected paints used by artists and craftsmen are tempera and oil paints. Used for centuries and easily made by the artist, in comparison to other paints, these were the primary paints of the Italian renaissance. These paints continued to be used in the centuries after, though tempera is not as popular as it once was, oil still remains a standard paint…

My passion is creating a picture of what I see in my mind on a piece of paper with a pencil, pen or crayon, also known as drawing. My love for the arts was set on creating images that were thought of and putting them on paper. I always drew what came to mind from what was seen from a movie or television show. I enjoyed drawing things or characters that interested me and I was free to draw it however I wanted to, although I always wanted the drawing to be as perfect as possible. After watching…

Motion / Emotion is a collection of dark ghostly creatures, dangling limbs and lingering scenes. “Messager works across painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and installation, and the exhibition includes pieces from her early career up to now. Messager’s works reveal a keen interest in humanity and its fragile, emotional core.” From entering her exhibition and walking through, I feel as though each piece embraced new and different emotions. The first piece that she had on display was one…

I will be taking my family (mother, father, and brother) to Kentucky to visit Mammoth Cave National Park. We went one year when I was 4, but I don’t remember anything. This will be a nice chance for our family to catch up and spend some time together before I go off to college. We will drive there using I-30 and I-40, stopping overnight in Memphis, Tennessee. It is a 755-mile journey and since we will be driving a Prius, we can count on 50 mpg on the highways. The national average gas price…

out in his video that I wasn’t aware first. At the beginning of the video the speaker told his audience how his parents took him to Europe at the age of 12. There his parents brought him to a cave where he would see cave paintings for the first time in his life. I personally did not know that chose case paintings were in France or in Spain. Furthermore, the speaker talked about how human evolution changed over the course of a thousand years, staring off with the Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens. I…
