Compare And Contrast Sandouk El Dounia And The Ardabil Carpet
Lara Baladi’s Sandouk el Dounia and The Ardabil Carpet are both flat cloth objects, however they each have several differentiating characteristics. Their distinct media make each work of art appear unlike the other. The Ardabil Carpet was created by weavers using a loom to make over three hundred knots. The carpet appears to be very detailed and intricate; I immediately think of how time-consuming the artwork must have been. Baladi’s tapestry was also made by weaving, however, the artist did not hand-make the artwork. Instead of the taking a large amount of time to dye and make knots, she planned a picture collage which she reproduced into cloth by using a digitally operated loom. The tapestry appears like a creative picture collage until

    the first time I saw my grandmother braid her hair, I was instantly astonished. The way she maneuvered her hands as she glided the hair between each finger, overlapping each strand of hair onto the next, was so delicate and precise. The finished braid dangled down her back, reaching all the way to her waistline, it reminisced that of a princess, from the storybooks I had seen. I knew only after moments of watching her, this was something I had to accomplish; easier said than done.…

    “with my little savings, and a practical knowledge of every process from the cotton-bag to the piece of cloth, such as carding by hand or by the engine, spinning by the hand-wheel or jenny, winding, warping, sizing, looming the web, and weaving either by hand or fly-shuttle, I was ready to commence business for myself; and by the year 1789,I was well established, and employed many hands both in spinning and weaving, as a master manufacturer.”…

    The first piece of ancient art I have chosen is the pectoral amulet depicting the ancient god Anubis. This is the ancient Egyptian god of embalming this piece features two jackals facing each other. Behind each jackal there are hieroglyphics that quote “Anubis who is embalmer," and "Anubis who is before the god’s place of embalming." This art is two-dimensional because it is on a flat surface although it is something that you are able to hold the actual piece the artwork is engraved on it. The material that was used to create this was faience, which is a form a tin and was then glazed. After created the piece was placed on the chest of the mummified individual for as a symbol of safe passage into the next life. The colors used from what is depicted in the piece is turquoise which is the color that is the color of the material and black which is used in the drawing of the jackals and hieroglyphics.

    By creating this image out of thread it creates a direct parallel to Penelope creating a tapestry herself. By choosing the medium of the thread, there is another benefit that I doubt the artist ever had in mind. Old age has begun to affect this piece of art by it slowly disintegrating. This, however, goes with the story of Penelope unraveling her work perfectly. Just as she unraveled her tapestry, this tapestry has begun to unravel. This has added a whole new dimension to the artwork that makes it yet an, even more, beautiful piece. If this tapestry were not a tapestry at all but instead a painting it would lose this whole new dimension that is…

    The art pieces I choose to analyze are two paired Star Tiles with Vegetal Motifs and Inscriptions. The evolution of the purpose of an artifact reveals the development of complexity within Islamic empires as time progresses. The first Islamic dynasties controlled large unified Islamic states and religious pieces served as the main type of art within their empires. The goal of the gallery layout is to display to an uninformed viewer the evolution of Islamic art over the course of a millennium, and to reveal the four unifying characteristics that emerged, figural representation, geometric patterns, vegetal patterns, and calligraphy (The Met). The first artifacts are the oldest and are only decorated with calligraphy. The pieces eventually progress to geometric and vegetal patterns. The last element to appear is figural representations, because they are the most complicated. The tiles contain three of these main characteristics; calligraphy, vegetal patterns, and geometric patterns.…

    The Arts and Crafts Movement began in the last decades of the 19th century. It was developed by the ideas and views of William Morris who was inspired by John Ruskin. William Morris was a dynamic and multi-talented man. His name is “indissolubly linked to wallpaper design” (William Morris & Wallpaper Design, [sa]). All his designs were made by hand and not machines because Morris believed that “the tastelessness of mass-produced goods and the lack of honest craftsmanship might be addressed by a reunion of art with craft” (Meggs and Purvis 1998:179).…
