In today's discussion class, Jingyi tells a lot about the history of the world art and the appreciation of art history, which makes me feel the great content of the history of the world. In the summer of AH-2130 class I feel the charm of the history of the world art, in this semester I still feel the infinite charm of art. At the beginning of the discussion class, she told the French Ambassadors The case, which was the beginning of a discussion, and I also recorded information about the work, like the French Ambassadors by Hans Holbein. The younger. 1533/ Oil on wood panel. National Geally. After a detailed introduction, she told us how to look at art.

The most used of the art of the early use of sheep's clothing materials can save time is very long. The authors use a lot of tools when dealing with this work. We can see a lot of lines in the works. And these lines are very accurate, we can see that when the paintings of this painting, with skilled painting techniques. Blue is the most exciting part of this work. The art of learning is very clear. It is very difficult to control the colour of the blue because there are a lot of warm colours in this work, but the blue and olive green convergence are very understanding. This does not make people feel that the two colours are hard to piece together. In the space of the layout, I think it is also very good. Background and themes are very clear. The convergence of the background and theme of many artists is a big problem. Many people's work background is rich in themes, and even some of the themes in the background. But in the Manuscript Illumination with the Birth of the Virgin in an Initial G, I did not feel the problem of the layout of the work. The subject of this work is the most popular subject in religious paintings, in the background of the painting, it is not a solemn religious scene, but the daily
Art History is the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts. The history of art, we feel, can sometimes be confused with art criticism. However, Art History is concerned with finding the value of the artistic piece in respect with others in the same category of art or movement, and art criticism is more of an evaluation of art. The art examined best represents the culture during the time period, visions the artist imagined, and history behind an event. It also represents society in a specific area, beliefs the people may have, writing that tells a story, the natural world and environment, conflict between people and areas, and the human body. With these representations, artwork overall represents the life in which we live (d). Each piece has its own genre, design, format and style to it. This makes each piece extremely different, yet pleasing to the eye. They also vary between paintings, sculptures and architecture. These different types also make a variety of artwork to be seen by all people. The art pieces that I chose, Jar, Bottle and Glass by Juan Gris, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí, and Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, seemed interesting to me and I believe to best represent the context in which they were created, along with the major artistic movements of the time. I went on to research them more thoroughly to better understand the history behind them,
I was fortuned to have had parents who had a respect for all kinds of art and approached life with an open mind. Thus being furthered blessed to grow up near a metropolis which possesses a major art museum and galleries showcasing new talent, filling young eyes with wonderment. An art appreciation study early own in life would have been beneficial but alas, I burn with shame as one who falls in the class of “I know what I like” when asked about art. I am all agog for semester’s end to be better equipped to articulate on why I am moved by a particular piece. After listening to the first week lecture and reading the first two chapters of the course text, it was difficult to narrow the subject of my essay to one subject. But, Chapter Ones quotes
During my visit to the Tampa Museum of Art, I observed and viewed various pieces from The Classical World exhibit. While I observed numerous works, I was drawn to a specific piece due to its uniqueness when compared to the other pieces in the exhibit. In this paper, I will be describing The Torso of Aphrodite, using my own viewpoints and the elements of formal art analysis, in order to explain the uniqueness when compared to other pieces in The Classical World exhibit.
Last Sunday, I went to the Museum of Fine Arts and walked through the marble corridors in pursuit of Percy’s “it.” I was accompanied by a friend who was in pursuit of taking candid photos. I came in with a set of expectations as Percy writes, “the sightseer measures his satisfaction by the degree to which the [museum] conforms to the preformed complex” (473). When I entered the museum, the quietude of the atmosphere caused me to become drowsy and I quickly looked for the café to drink coffee. Feeling energized, I wandered aimlessly for close to an hour, amazed by the museum’s architecture and rustic paintings displayed. However, being surrounded by great artistic pieces of history, I did not gain the sense of being enriched or enlightened. Due to the nature of the assignment, I was not nearly as interested and felt that I could have been lost in the moment if I had entered on my own free will. That was until I stumbled upon the “Showdown! Kuniyoshi vs. Kunisada” art
This paper will employ close visual analysis of the The Vase that was created by skilled craftsmen [Tang dynasty (618–907)] describing how it’s minimalist design represents that it was a time when they focused on non-controversial themes when painting.
Criticizing a painting has a process that contains only four steps to it. Describe, analyze, interpret, and judge are the four steps to evaluating any work of art. The painting that we will use this process on is called “The Ambassadors” by Hans Holbein II in the year 1533 which is an oil painting on a panel. We will apply this process to determine if his work of art is a success or a failure.
When examining and judging a work of art from an art historian’s point of view the historical operations:
The intent of this paper is to provide a greater understanding of the selected art object. Through objective analysis of the formal elements that make up the art object and considerations of the social and cultural climate in which it was conceived, a greater understanding of the art objects significance will be achieved.
To excel in exams, one must memorize hundreds of artworks and compare them not only aesthetically but also within their cultural backgrounds. To prepare, I studied relevant information such as the dates, media, and artistic expressions to understand how these artworks fit within their cultural contexts. This memorization requires countless hours allocated to otherwise negligible details in order to understand the human factors surrounding these timeless masterpieces, such as craftsmanship, patronage, and audience. These factors are crucial, as professors would often include artworks that our class had never covered, and we were expected to accurately identify the piece based on the artworks our class
Alberti makes it clear that he is not concerned with painting’s origins, even though he briefly discusses them. Subsequently, the author uses old writings as reference to strengthen his point of view on how highly painting is esteemed above other “crafts” history. It is therefore clear that the author believes painting to be somewhat in metaphysical nature, something beyond the ordinary.
Each of us observed similar aspects in the painting. The central features that were pointed out were the objects of the blue, velvet bag, the ivory horn, and the various birds. The blue bag was where I concentrated on when I observed the painting as a whole. I feel that its color really stood out compared to the rest of the painting. The bag formed a contrast with the background as well as the prominent, white, bird in the center of the
Arthur C. Danto in “The Artworld” provides us with the argument that, “To see something as art requires something that the eye cannot descry-an atmosphere of artistic theory, a knowledge of the history of art: an artworld.” Danto shows us the importance of the artworld in order to know that a work of art is more than just what we can plainly see. Danto provides two theories he calls the “IT” (Imitation theory) and the “RT” (Reality theory). With these two theories, Danto explains how we can define art and why “The Artworld” is needed to help understand art, because after all, “these days one might not be aware he was on artistic terrain without an artistic theory to tell him so.”
