If there is anything that could describe the world as it ages, it would be art. Art has been part of our history from the very beginning at which it has served as the earliest form of record of the events that occurred in the past. It also has illustrated and still illustrates life from different time periods and cultures. One recurring subject that appeared throughout the entire history of art is the depiction of man and how it has developed over the centuries. From the art of the Paleolithic…

While Buddhism and Confucianism were encouraging self-restraint and altruism in the early centuries of the Common Era, long before then, in 12,000 BCE, evidenced by discoveries in a cave at Lascaux, one of the earliest examples of organized human religion developed a much more demanding path to adulthood. In response to the discomfort that emerged from the ancient hunters who felt “profoundly uneasy about slaughtering” animals for their own…

The existence and history of animals on Earth is extraordinarily extensive with fossil evidence dating their inhabitance here roughly 560 million years ago. This by far surpasses the seemingly short in comparison recorded verification of human life that only goes back some 6,000 years ago. Before the paving of paths, the construction of building, and the before formation of civilization animals roamed and enjoyed all the Earth had to offer. As time passed, humans would similarly become accustom…

In this cave, located in France, hundreds of paintings and engravings are be found (most of which are animals). These illustrations are dated back between 17,000-15,000 BCE (Ancient.eu). Public art has only continued to increase in numbers and variations, as we see murals, sculptures, statues, and many other forms everywhere throughout our daily lives. It has many…

The European idea of art, art for art’s sake, or art whose only purpose is to please the eye, does not always apply to rock art. In many ways rock art is pleasing to the eye, and many tourists are attracted to it for that purpose. However, much rock art is used for a specific purpose or was made during a specific period of time and means…

The phantom of the spirit ( I am not what I am, I am what I am not) The Phantom of spirit in mind, is the phantom of delusional spirit in the heart of creativity. Creativity is the phantom that creativity used to decipher the hidden transcendence to the self. While, spirit has been to delude, the phantom has been the philosophy of Delusionalism. It is greatness in creating and sublimity in consuming remains as the spirit in every civilization for an aesthetic end. Even in its presence and even…

A message for everyone to see. A message that would normally not be socially acceptable, but is it vandalism? Graffiti stands out from other forms of artwork, not only in it’s style, but also in it’s public message as well as it’s agenda. Street art breaks the rules. It broadcasts information that people would be afraid to say or would possibly make someone uncomfortable. But is this a good thing? Is it now tolerated? Graffiti has existed dating back to ancient times of 18,000 B.C. However,…

SWETA ANTONY MASTER OF ARTS ENGLISH (PREVIOUS) SEMESTER II 13 APRIL 2015 CULTURE AND ART: A CRITICAL CROSSOVER The origin of the very word “Culture” comes from the world of ‘agriculture’ from which it developed a metaphorical meaning in the eighteenth century for culturing the mind rather than crops. And in this sense gradually it became associated by the early nineteenth century with the knowledge of Greek, Latin and the fine arts. The acquisition…
