Two works of art that I found to be compelling are The Garden of Earthly Delights and The Netherlandish Proverbs. Both pieces address human morality and the consequences of poor decisions. These pieces are both extraordinary in their complexity, details, and thoughtfulness. Each provides endless observation and interpretation by the viewer. Hieronymus Bosch’s painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights, is oil on oak panels, measuring 220 cm × 389 cm. Finished in 1505, the piece is a triptych,…

street art is an actual process, just as the steps took to complete fine art, and is more than just ¨hooligans¨ randomly painting on buildings with a spray can. For example, a general pattern shown throughout certain shots, cuts and sounds, is the method used to create street art, which involves more than one may think. To begin with, the entire clip is composed of jump cuts where the shots are abruptly cut. Each cut portrays a different scene tying into the general theme that street art is not…

Luke Myers Professor Stoddard ARH 106 27 January 2015 Analysis of an original work of art Santiago El Grande by Salvador Dali Much can be said about about this painting. It is extraordinary, a masterwork, and one of Dali’s most famous. I was lucky enough to see it when it was at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Despite holding one of the largest collections of his works worldwide, I spent most of my time at the museum under Santiago. Under him, because everything about this work…

touch them. Individual lights hang within the installation and encourage our close examination of the body organs, illuminating and revealing their forms and, like doctors’ probes, delineating one from the other. Fetuses hang like pendants from their fine woolen ‘umbilical cords’. Their presence defines the female body’s capacity for reproduction; their dislocation suggests that they have been removed or lost through abortion or…

uncertainties as it is filled with people. This complexity is similar in their relation to art, the practice of art does have a relation to these ideas, but art may serve them in a variety of ways, throughout the moral spectrum of good. This makes the claims many theorists have that “art will deflect us from ethical behavior” a valid one, but while it may be valid as a point, it does not necessarily make their stances on art being…

Chapter 10 ?Mabel Daniels?s Place in American Composition? Mabel Daniels and her work mirror many of the important themes of her time, reflecting shifts in American society and culture from the nineteenth to the twentieth centuries. Profound and rapid changes in technology and lifestyle provoked a range of responses from embracing the avant-garde to resisting it. In Chapter 1 I argued Daniels?s importance to the history of American music. While many of her works are powerful and merit…

The Way Art Moves the Soul Many concerned parents and educators argue that art class it is a waste of the student’s time and that students should be focusing on their academic education. Today, education is defined as attending school to acquire knowledge in the courses of mathematics, science, literature, social studies. Consequently, the art budget is being cut in many public schools. Jesse LaTourette explains that “The main reason for this is because of how costly it can be to the school,”…
