My sister inspired me to join volleyball and basketball because when I was growing up I always went to her games and also my dad always compared me to her because I played soccer and did boxing at…

Gentileschi provided his children with the finest art education available. Despite his efforts, only one of his children (Artemisia, his daughter) became an artist. She not only matched her father’s talent, but surpassed his skills, and became the first female member of the Academy of Design in Florence. On the contrary, Artemisia 's brother, Francesco, did not have the innate sense of artistic ability and did not pursue his art career any further. Art is visible everywhere in the world, but…

If we add all this together, it makes perfect sense to qualify his work as art; ‘wearable art’. Also the fact that the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York dedicated an exhibition to his work, attracting so many visitors who were simply stunned by his creations supports the view that his work exceeds craftsmanship. Alexander McQueen is merely a prime…

In contrasting pieces of art, it is important to first identify the time period that each work is from. In this essay the pieces of art that are being compared and contrasted are, “Kritios Boy,” from the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, and “Dying Gaul,” from Capitolini in Rome, Italy. Kritios Boy was created during the Early Classical style period (480- 323 BCE).

In a sense, art is quite like water. It is something that is physical, but the changes that it can embody or bring forth are just like the formlessness of water. Art has become something more than just a work that should be admired, but rather, it has become a medium of speech for the…
