artists and art forms over the course of a semester, all of whom introduced me to ways of creating that I would never have considered or examined on my own, I have chosen to discuss the three whose work intrigues me the most: Kara Walker, William Kentridge, and Louise Despont. Each of their styles is unique, focusing on different messages and/or themes in different mediums, but all are artistic standouts. Kara Walker is an American artist holding a BFA from the Atlanta College of Art and an…

In the book Living with Art by Mark Getlein, part five; Arts in Time, chapter fourteen; Ancient Mediterranean Worlds, discusses art in the different ancient cultures around the Mediterranean. Egypt had a brief section in the chapter. Analysis of the Seated Scribe (page 330), gives us a better understanding of the everyday people in Ancient Egypt and the importance of the preservation of history. The statue was found the Necropolis at Saqqara, by the Djoser step pyramid, in 1850 by Auguste…

Art work neatly lines the being colored walls of a standard sized room in the University of Arizona’s Museum of Art. Hanging next to an oil painting of a vibrant rainbow gracing the sky of what could easily be downtown Tucson, is a piece of art work the elegantly displays the stark black wing of a plane gliding over a town or city that’s been brought to life with small dots of color. That piece of artwork is American Artist Yvonne Jacquette’s “Night Wing View 1”, a 15-color screenprint published…

On September 5, 2015, I visited the University of Memphis Art Museum. The works on display were by Samuel Hester Crone. Crone was born in Tennessee and grew up in Memphis. Upon reaching adulthood, Crone moved to Munich, Germany to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Art. Upon completion of his art education, he remained in Europe in order to pursue his art career. Upon entering the exhibit, it appeared that most of the pieces were the same genre. Crone had many works which were landscape…

Upon entering the RISD museum I was greeted by the quaint streets of the historic east-side of Providence. It's often an overlooked part of town due to the city life but really earns it's merit in beautifully restored colonial homes and colorful street art. The streets had tall green trees that bordered the sidewalk perfectly, and the light post were littered with local stickers either for a cause or promoting a local artist. Luckily, I was able to find parking rather easily because I went on an…

“Modern museum visitors can admire these objects from the remote past…without any knowledge of the circustances leading to the creation of those works” (Kleiner 1). Art History is a subject many set in the same category as Art Appreciation; however, the difference is clear since the history study takes into account the context of the work. If one analyzsis two paintings, each from a different era, he or she can deduce both similarities and differences between them. The two works I am going to…
