At the time of the first essay I was convinced that a film that told history was just used to retell past events. Gaining an understanding for the context is what changed my views about seeing films as a valid form of Historiography. My original thoughts on La passion de Jeanne d'Arc coincided with this, as I just assumed it was an art house attempt at telling the court hearings of Joan of Arc. Looking further into the context of the film's director
different style of painting, to different painters, and two different pieces of artwork. Looking at the artwork that was done during the Neo-Classical period and the Romantic era, you really do get the best of both worlds. Stemming from the roots of art eras that came before them, they both have some sort of influence that lead the two eras to what they became during its era itself. The Neo-Classical era essentially extends from the Classical period during the works of the Greeks and Romans. The Neo-Classical
Jonathan Sayres Art Appreciation 101 12/16/14 In this world there are many forms of art and many ways to express it. One subject that has inspired men and women since the beginning of human history is war. The tragedies and horrors of war have inspired some of the most poignant pieces of art. The art that is created during war is probably some of the most important that there is; not only is it a snapshot of history, but it is also a window into the souls of those affected by war. Art depicting war
Micaela Hanrath Professor Hullender ART 446 30 January 2018 Summary of Aesthetics I have already learned so much about aesthetics this semester and I’m eager to continue learning more. I have gained a knowledge of different philosophers that play an important role in classifying aesthetics as a philosophy, a theory of art, and an “experience”. I’ve also learned about how teaching aesthetics will benefit my future students and how to teach the concepts in a way that will expand their critical thinking
This piece of art is used stained glass technique and it is a typical medieval art culture, particularly distinguished by its visual characteristics. Its perfectly balanced colors, carefully filed story, and vertical form create a special effect in the presence of history, transforming it into something exceptional and elegant. This essay will analyze the effect of visual features of The Baptism of Christ and Adoration of the Magi. The story in this work is very typical of medieval art, so it tells
extensive series of self-portraiture in various guises. Sherman's work is central in the era of intense consumerism and image proliferation at the close of the 20th century. Recalling a long tradition of self-photography and theatrical role-playing in art, Sherman uses the camera and the several tools of the everyday cinema, such as makeup, costumes, and stage scenery, to recreate common illusions, or iconic "snapshots," that signify various concepts of public
Eargle Art 101 Professor Reilly December 8, 2014 TOPIC CHOICE #2: Writing about Space The two works of art I will be comparing today is The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. I feel as if both of these works of art are vastly different, but have a few similarities. First, I will give some background on both of the works of art. The Egyptian Book of the Dead was created in about 16th Century B.C, but the artist is unknown. This piece of art was also known
Looking back into the Palaeolithic period, art was produced differently than today. A great model of how art was created is by looking at this relief sculpture found in Laussel, France called Woman Holding a Bison Horn, conceived in 25,000 - 20,000 BC. This sculpture was created in great detail and done by using the subtracted method, which is completed by carving the sculpture straight from the surface of the rock. This rock was located in front of a Palaeolithic rock shelter. Due to finding the
Roman, Early Christian and Islamic Mysticism Art is developed and portrayed in various form, it enables people to see the different cultures within the world and answer questions to things we might not have particularly understood. In Art, whether it may be Roman, Early Christian or Islamic Art forces the audience to think and explore the story behind it. All three arts provide similarities and differences which will be debated throughout this essay but one certainty is that they all provide their

Seen from afar, through several doorways, Hindley’s face looms at us like an apparition.
