Art

I would have to say that the art form that I am most familiar with would have to be motion pictures. One of my favorite film producers is Quentin Tarantino which has produce some of my favorite movies of all time like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. The way he films his movies is like unlike any other producers ever! He will often start the movie in backwards orders or shuffled as where formally it will start and the begging and end at the end. Also his choices of actors are usually used in the often in many different pictures. He also will give himself roles in the film but sometimes just a back character not always the star of the film.

To me motion pictures today are to us what live theater was to others 100 years ago. They are a way for a story writer to depict there life experiences of theirs or others or to just use their imagination to entertain others. Motion pictures to me in an art form that starts on paper than is transferred into real life. Obviously not all movies I would consider a form of art but usually if you look close enough there is some form of art in any movie whether it is in animation, the music or in the particular way the movie was filmed.

The word Cinema may refer to Filmmaking, the process of making a film or also a movie theater, a building in which films is shown. What art means now and what it meant 100 years ago has change in many forms. Art back then before the internet and even before electricity was Johann Bach preforming a symphony in a small theater and Pablo Picasso painting or sculpting a work of art with his hands. Don’t get me wrong artist still do this today but I feel that it is not the same as it was then. Now people are call artist that go viral on the internet for making a song using a computer and can make millions of dollars for a song that they made having never touched a musical instrument let alone even know how to play one. This is still considered art

    Greek architecture started to be restored to its previous glory in the 7th century. In the beginning Grecian architecture was constructed from mud and wood. However, as time progressed, the buildings began to be made of limestone, and those buildings remained. The limestone buildings are the buildings that we see today. In the latter Greek architecture, there are three time periods that are expressed. These periods are Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman. Limestone was excavated and cut into large blocks that were dressed to fit the builders and also the needs that needed to be addressed. However, not all buildings were constructed by limestone; some buildings were constructed from marble. The problem with marble was that it was extremely expensive. Therefore, it was used primarily for sculpture. In the same way that there were three time periods in Greek architecture, there were also two different styles in Greek architecture. The first style was Ionic. The Ionic style was dominated by the Doric style. The Doric style of architecture is seen in most of Greece and also in Italy. In terms of formality, the Doric style was more formal; whereas, the Ionic style was more decorative and relaxed. An example of Greek architecture that is done in the Doric style is the Parthenon. In contrast, an example of Greek architecture done in the Ionic style would be the Temple of Athena Nike.…

    In 50AD, the Romans were becoming more knowledgable in creating a sufficient water system that they began building aqueducts. The architecture and design, of what is known at the Pont Du Gard aqueduct in Rome, is remarkable. There are many similarities and differences between Pont Du Gard and the water system in my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. Both water systems are functional in their own structural design. They each have a certain function for their own society at the time which make them unique.…

    The Greek and Roman Architecture is very much alike, but at the same time they are different in some ways. Wealth and high population densities in the cities had forced the ancient Romans to discover some new architectural solutions of their own. The Roman architecture adopted certain aspects of Greek architecture and created a new type of architectural style.…

    This drawing is considered to be a more honest depiction of the events held at Medicine Lodge Creek due to what aspect he includes that all others are missing. When looking over a comparison drawing of the event, done by Taylor, you notice that in Taylor’s drawing, there are many native men, and white men, but only one woman. This woman was not even a full native, yet instead an interpreter for one of the tribes. In the drawing done by Howling Wolf however, he represents the many native women present, and identifies them with characteristics in their hair, or on their tepees. Howling Wolf’s drawing is mainly focused on the women, and represents their great importance with the treaty signing. Women were very important to the tribes. They played a great role and importance all over the Plains society. Howling Wolf in my opinion was more honest as to include all members that took part in the treaty signing, as opposed to others, who picked and choose whose importance was needed in the art.…

    The first art work chosen was a figure by Myron of Athens, Discobolous. The Discobolous, a Discus Thrower, is a Roman marble copy after a bronze original of 450 BCE. A picture of this piece is shown below, figure 1. This piece of art work is simply amazing and exemplifies the Greek sense of harmony and balance (Petronius, 2008). The artist depicted the statutes of that time, a male nude figure, which seems to express freedom of movement and the Greeks idea of beauty. Furthermore, this artwork exemplifies the role of the artist through a representation of human strength and values.…

    The second art piece that I looked at was believed to be created by Qu Ding this hand scroll was created on silk with ink and pale colors during the 11th century of the North Song Dynasty. The hand scroll was created during a period when the images are meant to depict creation. Viewing the picture you connect with the nature as if present in the drawing, experiencing the textures that are created by the strokes and shadows that are created by the ink and pale colors used by the artist on the hand scroll. Possibly belonging to a collection this hand scroll creates balance while symbolizing an escape from life and into the world.…

    Travelers among Mountains and Streams is comprised of several design elements. Form, leading lines, and shape. These design elements move the eye throughout the painting in a continuous interaction between the elements. Each section is well balanced and rich in content. The large mountain in the foreground sets the foundation for the painting by serving as a barrier, keeping the viewers eyes from leaving the page. The area showing the travelers moving in the stream sets a sense of motion, engaging the eye to travel through the painting. The grand scale of all the elements inspire the viewer to be transported into the realm of fantasy promoted by Northern Song painters. The painting takes on a naturalistic feel that is derived from the combination of paint, ink, and silk. The people and mules moving through the stream bring a sense of scale to the painting. They are an important element in that they are in direct comparison to the large Mountain. The helps promote the idea that there is something bigger than all of of us and that humans are somehow spiritually connected to the earth. An important idea that Northern Song Artist aspired to communicate through ere work. The painting is done in a realistic approach yet is not set in a specific place further enhancing the dream like quality meant to promote spiritual communication and enlightenment. This interpretation is about the balance between the countryside and mans attempt to conquer it brought to life in the form of a painting by Fan Kuan. In the painting the small humans are engulfed by the enormous mountains giving the effect of unattainability, yet the human spirit to conquering the elements arises out of the need explore. The human and animals traveling through the stream give the…
