would do most of the work herself (Robins, 1993). Female servants would generally work inside the house, while the males would work on the fields (Lawless, 2010). However, in a mural painting from the tomb of Menna in Thebes, women are seen doing agricultural work such as picking figs. Another interesting part of this mural is the fact that the woman seems to be minding a child whilst doing agricultural work (Szpakowska, 2012). Poorer women would have spent the better part of the day grinding…

During his career as an artist, he has won various awards and was since known as a prolific artist during his time. His various paint mediums included oil, water colour and pastels. He had his own studio and painted landscapes as well as religious murals that are now shown at various places including, Château de Ramezay collection in Montreal. My instant reaction when looking at this piece is humbled. Seeing how even back in the early days of the 1900s, it seems as though doctors needed the…

A very popular theme among great artists and storytellers is a story from the Apocryphal book of Judith. In this story, a beautiful and loyal widow saves the Israelite town of Bethulia from Nebuchadnezzar 's army, who are under the command of Holofernes. While modeling her finest clothes, she pretends to destroy the invading Assyrian army. She is then taken to Holofernes, where she flatters and captivates him by her beauty and oath to help him overcome the Israeli resistance. After this meeting,…

There are many different views on graffiti as an art form. From artists that make a living off of it to the many people that consider it to be pure vandalism. The conflict here is the beauty of most graffiti in comparison to what many would consider just a way to ruin the current more respectable forms of street art. This originated as a way for someone to get a certain message out to “…the widest cross-section of the population” (Riechers) but has evolved into something on its own completely.…

John G. Anderson, the youngest son of Walter Anderson, deliberates about the eccentric perspective of the unique beauty in the paintings and craftworks of American watercolorist and ceramicist Walter Inglis Anderson in context of his mental illness. After several months of careful observations and treatments, Walter was diagnosed with self-destructive depression and schizophrenia which led to his strong self-expression of nature as a peaceful escape from irksome responsibilities and duties of…

There are people who complain about living in a small town and going to a school where the average class size is only seventy people. Walking down the halls of our high school I can hear people talking in anticipation on how they can’t wait to get away from here. I used to be one of those people. Of course, I am thrilled with the idea of going away to college, but having spent my entire life growing up in Valley I have truly come to appreciate all that it’s close knit community has had to offer…

The art museum that I was able to visit is called the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. This is a fairly small museum. It exhibited a peaceful ambiance. The arts it included were mostly paintings. Overall, I was not impressed with the museum. The museum displayed artists with a lot of bright colors that really jumped out at you. I personally prefer classical art over contemporary art. I feel that classical art has more of a calming feel to it. I also really like art from the Hellenistic…

Later, it was implemented with no little success in the illusionistic mural paintings at Pompeii. But the value of perspective in art was not merely a matter of aesthetics, but also a reflection of cultural politics. A good example of this can be found in Egyptian and Byzantine art in how they disregarded perspective entirely…

flourishing. The men who were jobless were put to work making clothes, building hospitals, schools, parks, playgrounds, and airports. The government and businesses also hired artists, photographers, actors, writers, and composers. Artists painted murals on walls, workers built 120,000 buildings and half a million miles of road. The WPA created 8 million jobs for people after the Depression. In order to build up businesses the people need to want to spend and feel safe spending their money.…
