...Megan Zastoupil Art paper 6/18/12 Stone Arch Bridge and vicinity at night This art piece was created by Brian M. Gardner, He is an artist in Minnesota and has been snapping photos for several years but only recently has he thought that he has got the process down. This photo is the second shot of the Stone Arch Bridge and vicinity at night. This one has a different perspective than the previous shot and it shows a bit more in it. It is an exposure shot. On the website his photos are nearly all taken with an older Pentax SLR and a professional grade manual lens. He thinks this is the best possible way to get a worthy picture even though it might be expensive and time consuming. This shot shows us the beauty at night because it is in black and white where you can see it lit up. The black and white photo lends to the imagination than a color photo and allows the artist to incorporate contrast. St. Paul Minnesota, where this artist is currently living is a great place to take photos there is so much to see and do there, and the architecture is absolutely wonderful which is why he has taken so many great photos of landscaping in St. Paul. Also in the website showing his work he says “special situations are also interesting-night shots for example because the end result is rarely what you sees while you are taking the photo. This shot gives you a glance of what the night life is like in this beautiful city and I also live in Minnesota, but I can’t always see places like...

...Renaissance and Baroque art are distinct time periods and artists in their respective eras created artwork that differed from the other period. Consequently, art produced in separate time frames are likely to vary from one another. Upon first glance, Jan Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Double Portrait made in 1434 and Diego Velazquez’s Las Meninas made in 1656 do not look similar. Although the two paintings have more than two centuries between them, Velazquez makes many references to Van Eyck’s painting and therefore creates a relationship between the two. This relationship is visible when directly comparing the two works of art side by side and similarities begin to emerge. Arnolfini Double Portrait and Las Meninas share many characteristics including foreground composition, mirror reflections, and background references that can be seen after careful analysis despite the initial difference in time, location, and influence of the two artists. With two centuries separating Jan Van Eyck and Diego Velazquez, the primary differences between the two artists are time, location, and influence of their own specific lives. Arnolfini Double Portrait was painted during the middle of the Renaissance when naturalism was highly favored in art. In this naturalistic view, van Eyck painted what he saw in a lifelike manner; his subjects are brightly colored, physiologically accurate, and their faces are detailed with shadow, which depict structure. All these characteristics paved the way for future naturalism...

...Art Reflection Paper Pop Culture and the Arts October 10, 2011 Art Reflection paper Art can be expressed in many ways. Art is seen in every aspect of our lives. The way people dress, wear their hair, makeup, and even the type of car they drive is a form of art. Artist use various ways to express art by the way they dray, the colors they use, creativity , and the style that they use to create fullness or dullness in the pictures. In this paper, I will discuss what art means to me. Next, I will elaborate on how art and culture relate. Finally, I will give two examples that illustrate how art and American culture relate. What Art Means to Me I think that art is a representation of a person’s inner feelings at that particular time. Art is more than just a painting on a canvass, it can be the lyrics of a song, the clothes that a person wears, a play, a poem, and even a hairstyle can be a form of art. Art is not something that can be duplicated or copied in its entirety. For example s writer can write a book and then a producer make a movie out of the book but the two will not be the same. How Does Art and Culture Relate Culture and art relate because art is formed and developed based on a person’s culture. Each culture has a certain style, certain foods that they eat, and a certain way they behave. Art is influenced by cultures. Different cultures have different views and often see the world differently from others. The quote “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”...

...Gavin Hammond has taken the stereotypical idea that it is always raining in Britain, and turned it into a photographic art project. He captured London’s landmarks reflected in puddles and wet pavements. He got the good idea following some bad luck; “I stumbled upon my first puddles rather than pedalling past it in a hurry. It began to rain as I approached the London Eye and a large flock of tourists were blocking my way. I hate to be in a crowd so I stared at my feet as I waited for them to pass. And beneath me, a beautiful reflection of one of the gondolas emerged from a puddle, like a vision from another world, a view of a parallel universe” The photographer was feeling disheartened when he first came across the idea of shooting reflections using puddles. This feeling has been represented by his images using a black and white effect to create a depressing mood, and the fact they were taken on a rainy day which allows viewers to create a vision the gloomy surroundings. I like the way in which the photographer has rotated the images so that the reflected subject is the right way up, and therefore the main focus of the image. This is unnatural as usually a reflection is upside down, so it’s interesting to look at them from this perspective. Gavin Hammonds images are beautifully clear; despite the use of a puddle to create a reflection, the mirrored image is undisturbed as he has managed to take them when the puddle was still and therefore there are so ripples. In order...

...time capsule from both the Renaissance and the Baroque ages. Thereafter, I was required to identify at least two examples of art, music, architecture, philosophy, and literature depicted during the periods. By doing so, I expected to identify how these examples reflected world events and cultural blueprints of their periods. The Renaissance refers to the cultural transformations witnessed in Europe between the fourteen-century and the sixteen-century (Cheremeteff, 2000). The transformations originated in Italy before spreading to the other parts of Europe. Owing to the transformations, Europe came out of the economic crisis experienced during the middle ages. As such, the period was marked by robust financial growth. Similarly, the period saw changes in art, music, architecture, philosophy, and literature. On the other hand, the Baroque refers to the cultural style witnessed in Europe between the 17th century and the mid 18th century (Cheremeteff, 2000). The style was depicted by the use of overstated motion and interpreted features to create stage shows, tension, enthusiasm, and sumptuousness from monuments, work of arts, literature, and songs. Detailed below is what I expect to unravel from the two time capsules. Art From the Renaissance period, I expect to find the Last supper by Leonardo da Vinci. The piece of art is one the most renowned work of art in the human history (Cheremeteff, 2000). The work depicted the scene of the last supper as illustrated in the Bible. Through...

...walks of life that consume it. For example the existence of laws, arts, religion, and government are the meat and potatoes of civilization without these essential elements humans would be reduced animals that eat to live and breed without leaving a mark or legacy of his own. The fact that humans even want to leave legacy is interweaved into building blocks of civilization. As defined by dictionary.com civilization is an advanced state of human society, in which a high level of culture, science, industry, and government has been reached. (Dictonary.com) Are humans defined by their civilizations acceptance of their cultural ideologies? How do these ideologies play out in society and what role do these ideologies play in civilization? * The answer is the humanities rule our existence. Humanities because it is the outward expression of our selves our ideas and culture. Humanities capture the human spirit, soul, and inner thoughts and express them in three different ways through visual art, performing art, and literary art. These arts impress upon our society to shape our ideas of the world around us, and how we fit into the grand scheme of civilization. In reality you cannot have a civilization without humanities. * The humanities are broken down into different categories.

...Impressionism and Post-Impressionism Art In researching periods of art, the rebellious changes in the late 19th century sparked my interest. Artists in the late 19th century sought to transform the idea of portraying realistic subjects and developed a less formal style that they viewed as more true to how we actually see. I found the Impressionism and Post-Impressionism movements, each with their own distinct styles and characteristics were the gateway to the modern art of today. In this essay I will describe and compare art in the two periods, including social conditions of the time and how these movements influenced the future art world. Impressionism represents a style as well as a name of a group of artists who rebelled against the art academies in Europe. These art academies and government-sanctioned art exhibits, known as salons, controlled how artists made their work known and the value of that art. Artists, such as Monet, Renoir and Degas, used radical techniques in their compositions and were rejected by the salons. These artists challenged the conservative academic standards of form and detail. They came together in 1874 to hold their own independent art exhibition. The name of the style came from critic, Louis Leroy, after publishing his review of the exhibition in which Monet’s painting Impression: Sunrise was displayed. Leroy criticized Monet’s work for appearing unfinished and only giving the impression of art (Samu, n.d.). The Impressionism artists renounced...

...Abstracts/Résumés pp. xv-xxi We Practice What We Preach: A Local History of a Community-Based, Student/Faculty Art Exhibition (2002-09) Elizabeth Auger Ashworth Nipissing University Daniel H. Jarvis Nipissing University Purpose of the Exhibitions Student-organized exhibitions hold the potential to greatly enhance the visual arts school curriculum. Burton (2004, 2001), for example, contends that there are a number of multi-faceted benefits for art students, art teachers, and for the art education program in general through the implementation of student-organized exhibitions. In Exhibiting Student Art (2004), he concludes: The key to successful student art exhibitions rests in the knowledge and skills students learn from doing it firsthand. . . . They need to immerse themselves in various aspects of art exhibition, from preparing and presenting art to other people to exploring alternatives of scale, venue, theme, and purpose. . . . When exhibitions of student art are presented well, parents, teachers, and administrators recognize and appreciate the value and meaning of art in the school curriculum. Exhibitions of student art convey a continuous message that the quality of ideas, the depth of issues, and the magnitude of expression are © 2009 CRAE - RCÉA & AUTHORS/AUTEURS 84 Elizabeth Auger Ashworth & Daniel H.

...Question: To what extent is literature like a mirror? Inquiry paper In Ovid’s Metamorphosis, Narcissus is a handsome young man who saw the reflection of his face in the waters of the Styx River. He became so captivated by his own reflection, that he sat looking at himself until he died and a small flower grew in his place. After the manufacturing and widespread existence of mirror, human have became obsessed with the reflections of themselves. Literature provided us with a unique type of mirrors. It helps us to discover the perfection of ourselves but at the same time, grab our eyes on the defectiveness as well. Just like Narcissus, we never stop seeking for self-identification and self-conscious through the way we look at our own images. An examination of the books I read, I found literature to be like a mirror to a great extent in many ways. The Secret daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda, is a book that compares the treatments of females in two different families - one in India and one in America. The book begins with the unforgettable birth of a baby girl named Usha in a remote Indian village on the eve of monsoon. In a culture where females’ infanticide is rampant, Kavita, the baby’s mother sent her daughter to an orphanage in order to save her life. Dr. Somer, an American woman who adopts Usha (they call her Asha) after the discovering that she can never have children of her own.

...E D U C AT I O N A L I N N O VAT I O N Creative Learning: The Mandala as Teaching Exercise Margaret Cole Marshall, MS, APRN, BC ABSTRACT Faculty committed to undergraduate education have discovered the need to address teaching strategies that focus on the new generation of students. In teaching an undergraduate course on Nursing the Client with a Mental Illness, the affective domain of learning is used to develop interpersonal competence, self-awareness, and self-reflection. The teaching technique used is an experiential exercise that asks students to create group mandalas using art materials on circular pieces of butcher-block paper. The mandala concept is derived from the Buddhist tradition and means “circle” or “center” in Sanskrit. Carl Jung introduced this technique to the United States and incorporated it into his therapy. As a creative, active learning strategy, the mandalas helped the faculty meet the clinical objectives for the course and the learning needs of a new generation of students. They also helped students learn about Eastern philosophy, group process, self-awareness, and Jungian therapy.
