    Making out of terra-cotta, the most common forms of pottery made in the ancient Greece, the vase is painted using “the red-figure style” . It was made in a specific shape for particular use such as pouring librations (lekythos). I like how this vase shows only a few figures, maintaining the right balance between the vase and the picture. The graphic decorations provide insights into the ancient Greek…

    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.…

    Athough from two entirely different cultures and entirely different times, the Pantheon and the Parthenon share similarities, along with a world of differences, in form, function, themes, ideology, and messages about their respective civilizations. By comparing these two structures, it is easy to see why knowledge of context and culture is important to understanding and interpreting art.…

    Christina’s World is a painting set in 1948 by American painter Andrew Wyeth, and one of the best known paintings from the late 20th century. It illustrates a woman lying on the ground in a treeless, mostly orangey field, looking up at a gray house on the horizon with barns and small sheds across from the house. The young woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson. It is said she suffered from polio (a muscular deterioration) that paralyzed her from the waist down. Wyeth had a summer home close to Christina’s and was inspired to draw the painting after he saw her crawling through the field of her home. The painting’s wasted limbs and pink dress belong to Christina Olson. The youthful head and torso belong to Betsy Wyeth (Andrew Wyeth’s wife) who was then in her mid-20s. Although Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting, she was not the primary ideal.…

    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.…
