Every state has their unique history on the form of Art and Culture which takes us to a completely different land of interest and curiosity. These…

Art has been a large contributor to sharing the history of our world. We learned this week that it was important to use art in times when not everyone can read or when there is not a common language within a small territory. Both these statues are perfect examples of how artists can show their own interpretation of what is happening in the world around them through their art. Here I will consider the story being told by the artist in both statues. The first statue is the Royal…

In this modern generation everything is considered to be art, from historical cave drawings in New Zealand to scribbles drawn by your five-year old sibling on your homework. It comes down to the decision of a person securing new exhibitions what is valuable and worth being preserved. Works of valuable art are those of historical significance. Exhibition decision makers struggle to determine what is of actual historical significance in purpose of educating verses momentary amusement of the…

traditionalism and modernism. While traditionalism holds to conventional morals and ideas, modernism explores new concepts and leaves room for imagination. This is shown by the vaccine controversy, the short story “Everyday Use," and women’s roles throughout history. To begin, many people struggle with the idea of vaccinating their children. Vaccinations can be traced as far back as 1000 AD; however, many parents today still choose to avoid vaccinations for their young children (Should Any…

When I was in my sophomore year of high school, my art teacher Mrs. Samally opened my eyes to many different types of art forms throughout the world. One form of art that particularly caught my eye, was the art of 3-D chalk drawings on street canvasses. The way that these artists can portray depth and realism in their art work just baffles me. They can create masterpieces with chalk that I didn’t even think was ever possible before. The artist who predominantly stood out to me the most is an…

Art museums have always been compared to older ceremonial monuments such as palaces and temples (Duncan, 1995, p. 242). Museums over the course of history have taken their architectural design ideas from the adorned designs of religious temples and palaces. This has been a long-standing practice of museums borrowing architectural forms from monumental ceremonial structures of the past (Duncan, p. 242). Museums adopted the grand embellishments of temples to show the importance of what was inside.…

In my visit to the Chicago History Museum (Chicago Historical Society)- on Saturday, June 18th, 2016- I experienced and was subject to visual study of various artifacts and exhibits which greatly expanded the range of my views and thoughts on history and the various smaller components which make up the history of a place, person, or thing. Such exhibits ranged from minute details making up a whole gallery on the evolution of everyday clothing and costumes in Chicago to major events which have…
