Christian art

Amulet Mosaic Reflection Guide I’ve never been that good at Art but I love doing art (at least I hope what I make is good enough to be considered art). I just try to produce something with the best of my ability and hope for the best. In AP Art, we were given a project about mosaics. A mosaic is a picture or design made of tiny pieces (tesserae) of colored stones, glass, tile or paper adhered to a surface. In order to do this, we relied on the knowledge we have about this project since this…

before him. The episode, The Power of Art, illustrates examples of his sculptures and his work as an architect. Bernini was able to carve so much depth and so much emotion out of a single piece of marble. The world had never seen such movement and play out from a sculptures and Bernini had revolutionized a new way in the world of sculpting. The accounts of Bernini’s life are based from a biography written by Filippo Baldinucci, who was also a painter and an art critic . Baldinucci tells…

philosophy/religion? Answer: Growing up, I always went to a Christian church and my parents raised me with Christian values. This has had an incredible impact on my decision making process and the way that I view the things around me. One philosophy or idea that is important to me that I try to live my life by was said by one of my favorite writers, Ralph Waldo Emerson. He said, “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to…

Art forms an integral part of the society since it serves different needs of the people. The artists find the idea of using artworks conceivable since they use them to blueprint information. As a form of literature, they use it a medium of communication including criticizing the behaviors that do not conform to the societal norms. Moreover, other artists paint their artworks with the aim of fulfilling the aesthetic purpose in the society. It remains of significance for people to try and isolate…

The style of art represented by Abraham Rattner’s Crucifixion would be Abstract Expressionism. Abstract Expressionism is a term that grew out of the German Expressionist movement. It was also in some ways a reaction against the social realism that had found mainstream popularity, but also a logical continuation of both Surrealism and Cubism. Rattner’s artwork appears to be somewhat of a puzzle. When looking at this artwork, I have to search for familiar images, and if found, I question why…

He has introduced me to art and the techniques of oil painting, such as never to use black paint but use purple, brown and blue to make a dark paint colours, the way to use the art brushes properly and many more influences and techniques. From all the variety of art that he has showed me I would have to say that oil paint was my favour medium to use in the art world, due to…

acceptance of this tradition of faith in my family at a young age (Detrick “Religion”). My level of conscious choice in my religion has fluctuated over my lifetime. As a child, my surroundings were filtered through a Christian lens, and I was only exposed to ideas and activities that echoed Christian values. This lack of exposure to any contrasting worldviews prevented me from ever challenging myself on my own beliefs. It was not until I was older that I began to learn about different religions.…

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…

Art, whether it be paintings, statues, sculptures, etc., is meant to provoke and inspire the audience. Artists use different techniques in order to provoke the feeling they want, or to display the message they feel is important, sometimes, these techniques could offend members of the audience; however, censoring art does not prevent offending/corrupting the audience, but rather limits exposure to real life situations such as racism/hate speech, sexuality, and graphic material. It is thought by…

Vanitas art represents the swiftness of life, decline and to end with: death. They remind the viewer that death is inevitable and human life is fragile. My piece specifically represents whether we are in the 17th century or present day; death and the passage of time is certain. Nothing is ever promised in life, no matter how young you look or your earthly possessions. Life is not constant and predictable, and you’re only constant in life is death. I used skulls in my collage because they…
