A Jew will catch you to a bag and eat you!’ So they taught to their children” (Spiegelman pp....

...Rococo vs. Neoclassical Art Karina Smith Western Governors University November 25, 2013 Rococo vs. Neoclassical Art Periods Over the years, works of art have developed and varied greatly across genres and time periods. From the cave paintings of the Paleolithic era to the abstract expressionism and Pop Art of the 21st century, we have seen styles of art evolve and develop. These styles and periods of art sometimes reflect past artists and styles and other times introduce an era of completely new art genres and styles. Two different art periods that succeeded each other is rococo and neoclassicism. Rococo is a style of art that began in the early to mid-18th century and was closely followed by the neoclassical art movement. Rococo art originated in France in the early 18th century and was itself an evolution of the earlier style of baroque art. Rococo art emphasized elaborate, detailed, and ornamental elements in sculpture and architecture, and more realistic representations in paintings. Coming off the era of baroque art, which was very much influenced by religion and endorsed by the Catholic Church, rococo art thrived in a time where secularism was becoming a more dominant theme in social attitudes. This Age of Enlightenment saw a shift toward loosened morals and a light-heartedness in the social climate that was, in turn, reflected in the art of that time period. Some characteristics of Rococo art is light, airy colors and delicate, curling themes. In fact, the root word...

...The Last Supper and The Book Of Genesis Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the most prominent men in history and was the creator of many new ideas. He created many works of art and invented many new technologies that would be considered extreme for the time period. One of the biggest works of art he completed was “The Last Supper”. This painting, done in fresco, plays a significant role in Christianity and depicts Jesus with his disciples. Along with “The Last Supper”, The Book of Genesis was produced to influence belief on a group of individuals. These works of art are cemented in history and can be connected to each other by their significant individual affects on human existence. “The Last Supper” and the creation story in The Book of Genesis are connected to one another by theology and both share themes such as creationism and humanism. To understand how these individual pieces of work are connected to each other, one must first breakdown why these works of art were created. The Last Supper is one of the most thought-provoking and controversial works of Leonardo da Vinci. It is a mural painting, which means that it is directly painted on a wall, and is created by Leonardo in Milan from 1495 till 1498. Da Vinci painted it for his patron Duke Ludovico Sforza who decided that he wanted this religious scene painted. The Last Supper measures 15 feet × 29 feet and covers the back wall of the dining hall at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. Leonardo spent 3 years painting...

...Filmmaking Analysis: An Art form in itself Robert Haskins ENG 225: Introduction to Films Hannah Judson 28 June 2010 Filmmaking Analysis: An Art form in itself The art of motion pictures have been compared to other forms of expression art, but what makes it unique is that other art forms are incorporated into motion pictures. Through moving pictures, a story can be told with fluidity and rhythm, like music. Much like a sculpture molds clay or stone into something beautiful; a filmmaker can show us their vision or perspective of a story. Motion pictures have a way of influencing us to change the world, make us laugh and make us cry. This powerful medium has altered our world and has helped shape our culture. Analysis and evaluation is only natural, as humans will always strive to understand why this form of art has made such a lasting impact. To use the techniques to analyze a film, one must first familiarize themselves with the literary elements. By recognizing what the theme is in a motion picture, it becomes easier to see the filmmaker’s intention to the motion picture. Soundtrack and musical score also has the ability to add texture and depth to the experience of watching motion pictures. Just as we place symbolic meaning to other forms of expression, we do the same for motion pictures. Each of us have a different perspective in viewing motion pictures just as no one can see the same piece of art the same way. The style and the way characters are presented...

...ideals were also done away with as they become infamous. Male dominance became less famous as they had no careers after the war. Most of them could not get careers after the war as they had joined the army at a young age. The war had a great impact on the art especially the Russian revolution. Artist got new ideas and the themes of their paintings become one sided, most of the arts had revolution inspire themes. At this time, a group of artists emerged a good example of the groups was the Association of Russian Revolutionary Artist (ARRA). The ARRA got their themes from the Russian revolution. Sculptures and painting were created all showing the impact of the Russian revolution. For example, Lanser, an artist decorated the Moscow Railway station with paintings that demonstrated the work of the soviet construction. The Russian revolution can be said to have had a great impact on the arts as t gave the artist inspirations on their works. Breton defined surrealist as spiritual automatism in its most pure state that one wishes to express in a verbal or written way. He also defined surrealist as a definite implementation of thought.

...Around the world there are various theme parks that signify peace, joy and all the good in the world. Then there are those that are the complete opposition of these themes. One of which is a theme park called Dismaland. This distorted yet artistically brilliant theme park is an art exhibition by the British provocateur street artist named Banksy. A well-known street graffiti artist at that. Opened to the public from august 21st to September 27th 2015 in Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England, Dismaland is this dystopian theme park mocking the works of Walt Disneys and his multi-billion dollar theme parks (Disney World & Disney Land) and Sea world. Using graphic and distorted interpretation of various Disney characters like Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Cinderella crushed under her white pumpkin carriage given the sense of drinking and driving. Something you’ll definitely NOT see in any Disney related theme parks. This particular theme park was not so pleasing on the eyes and signifies the not so friendly, mentally scarring sight for children. Banksy has described the exhibition as a "family theme park unsuitable for children," filled with subversive and darkly comic works that go far beyond street art. [1] This event contains adult...

...Bambang Elementary School Los Baños Laguna Pay-per Me-ché Livelihood Project I. Rationale Appreciation of the arts is most prominent in children during their primary education. Moreover, children learn easier and faster through graphic aids and pictures than studying purely by text. This implies that arts is an effective way of teaching lessons and values to the youth. Two of the key values necessary for community development are entrepreneurship and creativity. Thus, it would be advantageous to implant these values at an early age so as there will be more room for development in the future. In order to effectively impart these key values to the youth, certain activities must be conducted that will not only introduce the said values but also enhance it. The proposed training program entitled Pay-per Me-ché is designed specifically so that the Grade 6 and SPED students of Bambang Elementary School will learn some ways on having a livelihood project that they can adopt as early as now for a long-term means of profit and at the same time is appropriate for their age. The Pay-per Me-ché livelihood project will be conducted in cooperation with the faculty of Bambang Elementary School for a more efficient implementation. II. Goal The livelihood project aims to: * Enhance and instill to the students the value of creativity * Enhance and instill to the students the value of entrepreneurship * Provide the community (youth) an alternate means of...

...this ideology and philosophy representing art and literature, whose roots are deeply planted in classic Latin, came to the forefront in the Fifteenth Century. Art and literature in the Fifteenth Century were a revival of “Greek and Roman studies, which emphasized the value of the classics for their own sake, rather than for their relevance to Christianity” (Hunter & Payne, 2003). Humanists believed that through the study of “…the classical study of text of ancient Greece and Rome” (Humanism, 2007) one would be able to improve on society as a whole. During previous periods, this type of teaching was kept mostly to theologians, authors and philosophers. During the Renaissance though, the people who had the means and desire to study classical art and literature were from a broad spectrum of royalty to merchants. The students were not studying for professional reasons but more so for pleasure. The interest in art broadened from works Classical Greece to what, at the time of the Renaissance, were referred to as contemporary works and existed as objects of learning or ideal beauty Literature had its foundation deep in classical roots and there are many similarities and contrasting points of view in their themes. One of the most significant documents of literature, during this period, was the theses (“intellectual propositions”) written by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola which was entitled Oration of the Dignity of Man. The theme of this work “…is that humanity stands...

...movements intertwine all aspects of the nation’s society: art, literature and architecture, philosophy and music—particularly the former two. Art and literature are constantly entwined, exemplifying one another and their own fields. Regarding American cultural movements, such as American Romanticism, significant individuals become familiar with one another’s work, resulting in inspiration that leads to creative works that pay homage to another artist’s work. Asher B. Durand’s Landscape—A Scene from “Thanatopsis,” inspired by Romantic poet William Cullen Bryant, exemplifies artist familiarity that results in multifaceted cultural creations. Both Bryant and Durand hail from the American Romantic movement, which emphasized nature as a source of refuge and rest, knowledge, and religious revelation. The painting has yet to be investigated beyond a visualization of Bryant’s work, illustrated by many reviews contemporary of 1850 as well as current scholarship. A deeper exploration of Durand’s work provides insight regarding prevalent creative themes of the current world of arts, as well as a look into Durand’s most honest inspiration as an artist. Though creating separate works—that must remain distinguishable for proper analysis of either work—Bryant and Durand investigated the themes of man and nature, individualism and the inner and after lives. Through detailing natural elements that emphasize the life cycle, Durand creates literary art that pays tribute to William Cullen Bryant’s Thanatopsis...

... answer referencing the themes of the Hellenics and Hellenistics as discussed in this module. 1. Is Pietà more of a Hellenic or Hellenistic sculpture or a conglomeration of both Greek periods? 2. Compare this sculpture to David. How are the two sculptures similar and how are they different in intent, subject matter and mastery? Which one do you prefer? Why? Michelangelo’s Pieta is a sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding Christ. This sculpture is more a Hellenistic sculpture then a Hellenics sculpture because this sculpture has emotions and is not of a perfect man. Also the Hellenistic sculpture has emotion in the face, the imperfect person, and has scares. Christ in this sculpture has face hair. The Hellenics are “perfect” sculpture, with perfect proportion, perfect hair, no scares and no emotions on the sculptures face. Hellenics sculptures show movement in their sculpture. The Pieta and the David are different in many ways. David is a classical style, heroic, godlike, and physically perfect. The sculpture of David would be in the Hellenic sculpture period. The Pieta is of the Virgin Mary holding Christ. The Pieta is like Hellenistic it has emotions, Christ has face hair and his hair is messy, the anatomy of the body is perfect but Christ’s ribs are showing. Both sculptures are similar by who made them, also the detail in both of the sculptures are magnificent. I personally prefer the Pieta because the emotions that show in this art is amazing. The sorrow that...

...Part B – Critical Analysis By Lilly Webber An artwork can be an intimate glance into an artist’s soul, art is one of the most raw and personal ways of expressing one's emotions. Artist’s experiences and interactions influence the creation of their work.
