On Sunday eighteen in 2018 I visited the Museum of Fine Arts, the atmosphere of the museum was crowded than I expected for a Sunday. It is my fifth time in the Art Museum and did not realize different cultures that apply today in society. Furthermore, there was a fashion gallery showdown, the reason for a crowded atmosphere. The atmosphere was casual because the crowd dressed casually. As I was walking around the different exhibits I could hear people talk but it did not make the crowd noise. Although
Theories in art differ greatly from those in the natural sciences. In a broader sense, a theory can be thought of as a conceptual type of thinking. Hence, every piece of artwork can be considered a theory. This is because every artwork is an interpretation of a certain aspect of the world. In some way, it is an attempt to explain the world around it. In the words of famous German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer, “the experience of art is an experience of meaning, and as such
While visiting the Dallas Museum of Art, I was intrigued by the Soziale Fassade (Social Façade) works created by the German artist Isa Genzken in 2002. There was one in particular that caught my attention the most, but it did not have a specific name. As I observed this piece of art, I felt that the artist had used many elements of art and principles of design that made this piece so interesting to me and I also realized that I could closely relate it to the short story “Blow-Up” by Julio Cortazar
If you asked the common American citizen, “What is socially engaged art?” they would probably throw a puzzled glance coupled with an “I don’t know and I don’t care.” The average non-artist would most likely not have the chance to experience socially engaged art, but it is still a brand of art practice that deserves the consideration as it has the unique ability to change a group of people through provoking reflection and discernment. Even though its complexities could stir one away from this topic
There are various types of art forms available in today’s world, one of them being street art. It falls under the category of contemporary art which in turn falls under the area of cultural studies. It has become popular since the early 1980’s, this symbolises freedom and expression. Street art can truly be valued only if we consider its place in the lineage of fine art history and the outcome it has had on our modern society. They act as reflections of ourselves and the cities in which we live.
criticism assumes a systematic structure. The ‘work’ refers to the artistic product itself and the second element is the artist himself. Thirdly, ‘Universe’ refers to the external objects of imitation . Lastly, is the ‘audiences’ who perceives the work of art and interprets in their own way. One notable fact is that these elements are represented in different degrees in the theories in which they occur. This discussion of Abrams on four aesthetic theories and their gradual development in relation to the
“balance between art and commerce” that Sims is directing Pegg to wonder about (Sims). Yet, Pegg is seeing commerce as the greater force and the focus on art the fleeting force. Sims reference to The Matrix and The Avengers shows the moments when art is clear but also how such movies thrive from the longevity of their runs monetarily. These references call for debate, as Sims concludes because no one can address the balance without a discussion on what is of greater importance: art or
colour scheme was balanced well. Gold colour has been use and it symbolizes the characters of Christ such as dignity and royalty. However, the gold colour is the reflection of the yellow urine, which instead of giving Christ the royalty; it instead strips him the dignity. Additionally, the artist included the colour red at the bottom art of the cross. Red may symbolize love because Jesus died for the sins of humans, however, red could also symbolize anger, and maybe the artists had some anger towards
the modern art community’s psyche, his skewed use of perspective and blunt portrayal of a late 1800’s
different from a video art work? A narrative film includes a story or an event in which the needed character system substantially helps to convince the audience. Video art is to create an artwork focusing on moving visual pictures and audio data. It is not a film production. For example, Reflecting Pool by Bill Viola in 1977 is a well-known narrative film, and the recent Uncle Boonmee who can recall his past lives (Uncle Boonmee) by Apichatpong Weerasethakul in 2010 is a video art. Both of them have
