Stacie Mueller Art 100 Professor Morris 24 February 2012 The Evolution of Art To even begin to define art‚ we must have a starting point in history where something was first perceived as art. The question begs‚ though‚ why do we perceive it as art? To look up the word in a dictionary‚ you will find the term aesthetics almost always applied to its definition; however‚ much of we call art today is not exactly pleasing to the eye. Our shifting social attitudes have affected how art has been presented

even knew what the word "computer" meant. The Abacus was the first known machine developed to help perform mathematical equations. From what researchers have discovered it was invented around 500 to 600 BC in an area around China or Egypt. This early tool was used to perform addition and subtraction and can still be found used in some of today ’s Middle Eastern cultures. In 650 AD the Hindus invented a written symbol for zero. Before this no true written calculations could be made‚ making this

Color in film went through a self-contained evolution much like sound. Many films of the silent era‚ for instance‚ used processes such as tinting and toning to give an overall color to the frame (Thomspon & Bordwell 34). Thompson and Bordwell comment on the process that “color could provide information about the narrative situation and hence make the story clearer to the spectator” (34)‚ much like the use of photogénie and mise-en-scene by the Impressionists and Expressionists. Other films‚ such

Evolution of Portraiture (1st century-5th) Some of the most beautiful portraits trace back to the Roman Empire. The Roman pieces of portraitures that have been discovered are mostly sculptures‚ but they aren’t just basic sculptures they’re massive and insanely impressive to be made over 2000 years ago. The Romans sculpted and painted what was actually there which was a new thing following the Greeks who would portray themselves as only youthful and attractive. For example the piece Head of an

Evolutionary Concepts Defining Speciation: BSC and Recognition concept Species are produced by individual speciation events‚ so a single species concept can’t be defining all species. Hugh Paterson’s ideas are significant in understanding evolution. Paterson argues that speciation is not an adaptive process‚ but is a result of the adaptation of intricate bonding mechanisms to a new environment (Paterson). The conceptual basis of his research is the Recognition Concept of Species. He argues that
