The human theme I chose was beauty. Beauty can be defined as a presence that bring an aesthetic experience, features or characteristics that are considered attractive and/or pure inner and outer Beauty of the body and soul. For India I chose music the artifact is Raja Abheri. Abheri is one of the most attractive, popular ragas known in India and Abheri is known for its attraction offering unimaginable settings for imagination. Beauty is represented in the Raga Abheri because the instruments are matching or imitating the voice. It has its own ascending and descending down and it comes together. Beauty is also represented because of her voice, creative expression in carnatic music. Her music is known to flow straight from the heart. The big picture raga was used as the melodic basis for all art music. It is the way of communicating. …show more content…
This artifact represents beauty because the some of the facial expressions show sadness, the eyes represent nerves or scared. The artist combined what is wonderful about ancient Greek in the love of the body. However this artifact defines beauty because the carvings showed the war between the Greek gods and the Titans. The big picture The Pergamon Altar of Zeus, is considered one of the most important sites of the Hellenistic age. It was dedicated to Zeus and Athena in gratitude for their assistance in the war. Spain I chose art the artifact is the Dome of the Rock. This artifact represents beauty because they used the Qur'an to express the faith. Its dimensions and proportions, the forms found within it, and the colors that inspire it are all representative of the faith that inspired its construction. The big picture is where the first and second temple stood. It is the oldest works of Islamic architecture. The Dome of the Rock is the place where Abraham offered to sacrifice Issac.

    The artwork I chose for the Greeks is called the Hydria. This vase contains the artwork of Hercules and Athena. The vase art relates with Athena coming from Mount Olympus to bring Hercules to live among the other gods. In the myth it is hard to show who is who, because the Greeks see their gods as walking among humans. In the vase we can tell Athena by her armor, because she is the warrior goddess. We can see Hercules by the messenger god Hermes. We see the chariot and helpers, helping harness the horses for Athena and Hercules to ride to Mount Hercules. The vase reflects the story of how the Greeks view the gods and the heroes.…

    Three epic battles are painted across the back side of her shield, which are also portrayed on the outside of the building with the previously describe sculptures and frizzes. Her face is painted with bright blue eyes and red lipstick. She has such a blank stare it gives off a stern but eerie feeling once walking into the room. Personally my favorite part of the exhibit because of how massive and intriguing the giant statue is. I love seeing metaphors within the sculpture such as Medusa’s head adorned across Athena’s shield, indication to the old Greek mythology story where Athena slayed Medusa. I feel as if this piece shows great significance to Greek beliefs that the gods protected them. The serpent beside Athena is said to represent the people of Athens and Athena’s shield protects the serpent, as she does them. This assumption only further emphasizes my previous notion that the original Parthenon was made for Athena in hopes she would protect the people of Athens. However that is only my assumption as no absolute reason has been established as to why it was built and its purpose.…

    Spanish style was influenced not only by the characters of Spain’s component regions, but by relationships with foreign countries and their customs, geography and climate and religion. The most dramatic and most lasting influence from abroad came from the Moors, Islamic people from North Africa who conquered most of Iberia in A.D. 711 and who maintained a degree of control there until 1492. Two f the world’s great religions, Islam and Christianity, have dominated the history of Spain, and much Spanish history is the record of their violent struggles against each other. Spanish art combines both influences. It all began with work done by the Moors, mostly in southern Spain, after their arrival from North Africa in 711. Moorish design in Spain shared many of the characteristics we saw in Islamic design, but it was naturally influenced by its Spanish setting. Some of the elements of this architecture are at relevant terms and then at specific examples of the style. The chief focus of Moorish buildings was invariably on the interior, exterior surfaces in the other hand were blank, plain, and…

    Warfare played a constant and significant role in the development of Greek culture. This is apparent in the depiction of military conflicts on various artifacts which have survived over the centuries. The Greek warrior is located among the largest artifacts, buildings and statues, and among the smallest, coins. The warrior is also painted on vases. These objects are all reflective of Greek culture, and of the impact war had upon the people who created and used these objects. The most abundant of these artifacts are the hundreds of vases which have been collected over the years. Among these vases are the "Athenian Red-Figure vases and Attic Black Figure Vases."…

    Classical vs. Hellenistic

    • 439 Words
    • 2 Pages

    But perhaps the most distinctive Hellenistic style is one sometimes called Baroque. Hellenistic Baroque, like the Baroque style of 17th-century Europe, is defined by its melodramatic, exaggerated effects. It is especially associated with the ancient city of Pergamum, and its masterpiece is the so-called Great Altar of Zeus built atop the city's acropolis sometime from about 190 to 156 BC. (A reconstruction of the west facade of the Great Altar is housed in the Pergamum Museum in Berlin, Germany.) The monument may in fact be a shrine to Telephus, Pergamum's legendary hero and founder, rather than to Zeus. The life story of Telephus, from his birth to his exploits as a mature hero, unfolds in a continuous frieze inside the monument. A podium supports the monument and around it an even larger frieze recounts the Battle of the Gods and the Giants. Some figures seem ready to leap off the wall. Some even crawl up the sides of a staircase that visitors use to reach the altar. The muscles of the figures are taut and pronounced, the drapery sweeping and tumultuous, the poses violent and dramatic, the faces expressive and pained. In one scene, the goddess Athena has caught a giant by the hair; he gazes helplessly toward the sky as he tries to free himself from her grip. His expressive pose resembles that of a Trojan priest, Laocoön, in a later statue of Laocoön and his Sons (Vatican Museums), shown as he struggles to free himself from giant snakes.…

    Indian Art After 1900

    Contrasting Indian art from before and after 1900 they started to head in a more realist art style. Before, their painting would look somewhat unrealistic not because the animals they painted had all sorts of designs on them but because their art looked somewhat cartoonish. Comparing Indian art they both used subjects that represented their culture. For example the tattoos or markings the people would have just the animals has. Also the cloths, the jewelry and objects they would use to dress themselves.…
