A new artistic movement that materialized in the late 19th century was given the name impressionism. One of the founders of the French impressionist movement was Claude Monet. Impressionists depict in their art what they see and feel at that very moment. It is a painting style that concentrates on the general impression made by a scene or an object. The main reason Monet’s The Artist's Garden at Vétheuil, 1881 attracted my attention is because I have a great fondness for flowers and gardens. The…

not much want a Thierry Guetta original; I like Thierry Guetta, Banksy, the creator of this film, is a gifted filmmaker whose thoughts, as he regards Guetta, must resemble those of Victor Frankenstein when he regarded his monster: It works, but is it Art?” (Ebert, rogerebert.com). According to Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan, “Subversive, provocative and unexpected, Exit Through the Gift Shop delights in taking you by surprise, starting quietly but ending up in a hall of mirrors as…

A mural that caught my attention would be a mural that could be found in the campus of East Los Angeles College. The mural is located in ELAC's Foyer Auditorium by the artist's Raúl Anguiano called “A Biography of Mexican Painting." The mural is described to be around 70-foot-square long mural and according to East Los Angeles College president, Marvin Martinez "Anguiano captures the evolution of Mexican Art from the golden period of the Mayan culture to the 20th century" (Martinez). The mural…

of shade is that. We went through a lot of rooms with paintings but we didn't get to stop by all of them. I remember going through one room and it had paintings with the exact same coloration and the same patterns. They weren't all identical but I found it kind of boring. We also saw some painting that were pretty unusual. I won't describe them but they were pretty…

you see many different elements of art that come together to form one unified piece. The art I chose to criticize is “Music – Pink and Blue II.” In the painting you see many different colors coming together to form a beautiful piece of art. This painting is an oil painting, with no identifiable shape. The art work is a 35 x 29 1/8. The artist of “Music – Pink and Blue II” is Georgia O’Keeffe. Today, this painting can be found at Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. I think people could…

In the beginning of XX century brought up the most influential art schools like the Bauhaus and VVKhUTEMAS. The both schools played a leading role in the history of art and and had the main influence on the development of architecture and art at all. The Bauhaus and VKhUTEMAS had a huge connection and communication between each other and especially because of that they had almost the same ideologies, nevertheless, they also had a range of differences. They wanted to make people’s life…

Have you ever wondered why art stood out to you? Why you preferred one piece of art over a different piece of art? Do you know what makes a good piece of art stand out? Before enrolling into Full Sail for my Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design I would not have been able to adequately answer any of these questions. My time at Full Sail has surely been productive and has been an enormous eye opener on how to read into art and what to look for to define each piece of art effectively. I have choses…

The statue of King Menkaura (Mycerinus) and Queen (fig. 1) is not only a work of artistic mastery, but also contains a very deep background and history behind the statue itself as well as its discovery and placement into the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA). In the early to mid 1900’s, an archaeologist by the name of George Andrew Reisner directed an expedition sponsored by Harvard University and the MFA in the Old Kingdom site of Giza. It is thanks to his scrupulous documentation through early…

Music is found in every culture, past and present; some music is used for ceremonies and others are used for enjoyment. Music is used to bring together families, friends, and strangers. Without music, understanding one another is difficult, especially understanding another culture. The history of music dates back to approximately 55,000 years around the continent of Africa. From prehistoric music to modern music, the idea of music is still used today to express feelings and used in ceremonies.…
