My final Encore art project is named “Environment”, I created my artwork in a mixed media form.My artwork presents two perspectives of environment; one is the nature environment and the other one is the cultural/social environment. I painted my canvas with acrylic to give it a deeper expression and I also added objects that we would see in our daily lives, I recycled and added them into my artwork so that my art could have a 3D expression. The word, “environment”, is assigned to me during my…

At first glance the figure is definitely out of the ordinary, the foot and a half tall sculpture is larger than doll sized and much too large to fit in a child's hand.

The last part is the head decorations probably added on after the base was carved out. judging by the size of the…

Female figurines from early human populations, commonly called “Venus Figures”, may tell us much about the roles of women. Two such figures, the Venus of Willendorf and that of Catal Huyuk, show similarities as well as striking differences both visually and contextually. If one examines these similarities and differences between the two, one can understand what the lifestyles were of whoever made these.

people have never seen before. But I got the opportunity to go to and see and admire one of a kind art work, with my art appreciation class when we went to the Philbrook museum last Friday, April 7th.

When I got there my first impression of the building was that it was very beautiful and had a lot of detail. When we were at the Philbrook I learned so much about…

What is beauty? In a classical sense beauty is something of perfection primarily with a strong connection towards math hence that everything beautiful was perfectly proportional and followed the golden ration of size and precision.

Duane Hanson's Tourists II is an expression of modern contemporary realism that has Roman Classical values and little Greek values. Tourists II displays ordinary tourists of the day, with their cameras, travel bags, collar shirts, and watches.

Similarly, Classical Roman style focused on real people, they were realistic and not idealized, unlike the Greek art values. Greek art values…

When you look at the piece, you get a strong sense of what the lion stood for in their religion and in their culture. You get a sense of pride, and, in a way, the sculpture is just radiating with a feeling of strength and courage. You also get a feeling that can remind you peace, a protecting vibe, and that very well might have been one of the same feelings the artist had intended on capturing when creating the piece…
