Artifact 4 Is Language
Is it Language?
In artifact number four my group was presented an image of “asemic art”. The image shows several variations of strokes. The image seems to be composed of circular or rounded strokes. There weren’t any strokes that seemed particularly sharp. In this image; there seems to be an element of creativity, which is a characteristic of language. I consider artifact four as a language because it’s creative, complex and redundant. However, there are some that would disagree because the writing doesn’t seem intentional.
In artifact number four there’s are variation of strokes that could be used to create an infinite combination of text. The artifact has some strokes that are horizontal, some that are vertical, and some that are circular.

    Lindisfarne Gospels Essay

    The Lindisfarne Gospels include the St. Matthew cross-carpet page, St. Luke portrait page, and the St. Luke incipit page. It was created in early medieval, or Hiberno Saxon, Europe, around 700 C.E. The Lindisfarne Gospels is an illuminated manuscript, created using ink, pigments, and gold on vellum. The work is known for its decorative patterning and its abstracted zoomorphic representations. “Carpet pages” depict decorative panels of abstract and zoomorphic motifs. The Lindisfarne Gospels exemplify traditional Hiberno-Saxon illuminated manuscripts created from the late seventh and early eighth centuries through the use of interlace, which formed abstract designs and animal patterns. Interlace is the creation of complex geometric patterns using bands that are braided, looped, or twisted around each other. The book’s abstract geometric designs and animal shapes were created using interlace, and also allows for the text to become more decorated. An example is the snakes which twist themselves into knots or birds. Lastly, the purpose of fibulae were to serve as brooches consisting of a body, a pin, and a catch.…

    In Animism and the Alphabet, David Abram, founder and creative director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics, goes in depth about how writing and the alphabet developed over the years by various groups of people. After annotating the text, I was able to consider the arguments presented by David Abram and found myself questioning many of his viewpoints. As I was reading my annotations, one that jumped out at me was when I wrote “may not be “true” writing, but still has meaning behind each picture that can tell a story” (30). How does one actually determine what writing consists of? I feel as though writing does not solely consist of words, rather writing needs to communicate ones thoughts or convey a story. This communication can be demonstrated through pictures in addition to text.…

    This though does not mean that it is not a viable form of literature. According to Sherman Wilcox, “literary works need not be recorded in writing to constitute literature” (Wilcox 70). ASL literature can still be included among other literature, because even though it is not written, “much of this literature has been recorded of filmed on videotape” (Wilcox 70). Overall, ASL literature is a viable form of literature because not all literature needs to be in a written form. It can also be included among other forms of literature because we are able to keep a record of it through…

    ‘A simple definition’ of language ‘might be that it is “a system of symbols and rules that enable us to communicate” and that ‘words, either written or spoken are symbols’ and ‘rules specify how words are ordered to form sentences’ (Harley, 2008, pg.5). However this can be debated and as a result ‘many linguists think that providing a formal definition of language is a waste of time’ (Harley, 2008, pg5). ‘There is no human society that does not have a fully developed language; being human and being a language user go hand in hand’…

    Art does not have a clear definition which means that anything someone creates can be considered art .The art styles in the wire drawing by Richard Tuttle and the idyllic painting by Thomas Kinkaid are both true forms of art. The wire drawing by Richard Tuttle is abstract and does not depict anything in particular. It is simply a few squiggly lines with shadows. I am unsure what message Tuttle was trying communicate in his art piece. This begs the question, does art need to have a message or a purpose? I haven’t the slightest clue as to what Tuttle’s art is supposed to mean. Even without clear meaning Tuttle’s work is valid art. On the other hand we have Kinkaid’s idyllic painting. Thomas Kinkaid’s work are clear depictions of beautiful landscapes…

    Language can be defined as a means of communication through spoken sounds, written symbols, or hand and body gestures. Subject to this simple definition language is neither human nor animal exclusive, meaning that all living creatures use some form of language to communicate. Humans have created the most advanced system of language. Human language has advanced to include listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and visual representation. These components are known as the six language arts and while they are individual components they are as well interdependent. What you learn about one affects what and how you learn about the others.…

    Our dependence on language distorts what our senses are truly getting. In a simple context of analyzing an art piece, for instance in the process of analyzing the nuance of the work, our interpretations of what we see tend to be bounded with the language that we know. Without the use of language, in this context, the art piece will remain abstract in our mind. The emotions that we get from viewing the art piece, for example, can be described with adjectives. In a wider sense, language influences the way we think.…
