History is described as the timeline of events that can impact the future. History in turn influences everything around us. One of the most influential pieces of our history is art. Art is known as “the expression or application of creative skill that is in visual or physical form such as sculpture that is appreciated for its beauty and emotional power from creating the piece”(Oxford press).Art has different uses and means from different eras and times. Some eras in history use art for ritual means and practices while other eras use art as a representation of their wealth and use it to underscore their social class in society. Art is influenced by the point in time in which it was created. Because of this pre colonial, 1920s, 1940s and …show more content…
From nineteen twenty to nineteen twenty-seven the overall population of america's wealth doubled which helped push america into a consumer society. This meant that people had money to spare that would be spent on clothes,cars, and other luxury items. The wealth in america also helped lots of high art prices to be cheap. This allowed not only the upper class to attain art, but the lower class as well. This caused a growth in art that was to be used for decorative means only . The transportation of goods also allowed for globalization to occur. Globalization is the process of which industries now have an influence in other communities. After this globalization and increase of transportation occurred , it allowed for “ different cultures to mix together allowing for an explosion of art deco in the 1920s’” (Collins). Art deco is defined as a style of art that developed in italy after ww1 and moved to america in the 1920s. “ art deco was derived from the geometric forms of cubism”(Collins), that was considered one of the most influential art movement of the twentieth century. This influence of cubism caused the Art Deco to be sleek, with Angular , simple shapes. Art deco in america was first seen at a chicago tribune headquarters in 1922. The newspaper company had sent out a competition to acquire new designs for their headquarters. A man named Eliel saarinen submitted an art deco design that won second place. Even though Eliel didn't win the winner Raymond Hood combined his gothic styled architecture and Eliel's art deco to improve his design. After Art Deco was introduced , the gothic, Deco style became widely popular. This caused building such as the Chrysler building , and luxury cars to be modeled after it. Art Deco also continued through the economic downturn that occurred in 1929. The Great Depression lasted for several years and was one of the poorest times
The definition of art is notoriously difficult and is a field of philosophical inquiry as such. The meaning of the word "art" are multiple, sediment and cross each other in the language. Missing uses of the word are present in expressions and help to make the subject more that difficult. However, according to my studies, art is an expression, a symbolic way to communicate. Its key is to make something subject or scientific, for instance: an object that went through certain modification would be consider an art. We have a different type of arts but I will only be focusing on this tree types: prehistoric art, art of the ancient near east and art of ancient Egypt.

This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master. It is from the Late Classical period of Greek, Attic which was completed around ca.360 B.C. . I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because I’m mainly attracted to art and sculptures from the Greek era. The overall color used in this relief is ivory with a few cracks and pieces broken off. There is some discoloration which causes the color to come off as slightly light brown for most of the relief. The sculpture appears larger compared to the other sculptures in the art room. It represents a family which includes a man, his wife, and their
Over the years, I have flirted with visual art. It started with pencil drawing, continued as an affair with marker illustration, then a dalliance with lettering, and I now have a relationship with photography. However, my favorite art will never be displayed in museums or galleries. It is not static and immutable. Rather, my chosen medium is fluid, living, volatile. No matter how well rehearsed, it will never be the same again. That’s the beauty of performance art.
Art has been a factor of our life as long as humanity has existed. For thousands of years, art has been created, observed, critiqued, and enjoyed by human beings in many regions across the world. Art aren’t just murals, sculptures, music, books or anything that someone may define as art but more of a bigger picture like if has a deeper meaning such a message or a theme that is looked upon. Art can be viewed at as many different ways in terms of people having different reactions or observing it in a different meaning. Someone could feel that the art work is very extraordinary and unique but someone else can have a different reaction and feel like it is no different than other artworks and have a literalist view upon the art. One art that made
Art gallery and art museum are two different types of structure. The major difference between them is that the purpose of the art gallery is to go to discover the artist’s work and with an interest in buying their art. So it's basically a small business to promote and sell art.
The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the
“Painting today is pure intuition and luck and taking advantage of what happens when you splash the stuff down. “- Francis Bacon. However when I learnt more about history of art and the way each movement and happenings in the world inspired artist to make new works, I was able to see much more than just a canvas with random paints and sketches. The interesting part about this concept is that each piece of art could be interpreted in many different ways. In contemporary art there isn’t right and wrong, each of us view and find different meanings and connections with artworks.
The process of Bauhaus is the history of modern design, and it is also the process of building Bridges between the two different categories of art and mechanical technology. In the history of art, design has never been the focus of attention, but it is Bauhaus, which has aroused people's attention to design, which also complies with the social needs of industrial development. After this, abstract expressionism has to be mentioned in the art genre. It has no great innovation in artistic content, but it is the first art movement in the United States. The rise of the art movement in the United States was influenced by the desire of New York to replace Paris as the world art center.
2. How the human form was represented has changed drastically throughout history. Some of the the ways in which the representation of the human body in sculpture evolved over time are evident in comparing works of art such as Menkaure and his Queen Kah-merer-nebti II, Doryphoros, the Farnese Hercules, and Prima Porta Augustus.

When the new upper class movement, Renaissance, occurred in Italy around the 14th century, a revival of the classical forms originally developed by the ancient Greeks and Romans, an intensified concern with secular life, and interest in humanism and assertion of the importance of the individual began. Thus, artists such as Mosaccio and Giotto depicted art that unlike the Middle Ages, showed emotions, feelings, and bright colors, thus demonstrating the deep concern for naturalism in the society. Other artists during the Italian Renaissance period such as Giovanni Bellini began to express their art through secular and religious themes and ideas that were exhibited through landscapes and portraits. As new styles of
For me, African art has played a substantial role in shaping the culture and history of the world. The belief that Africa is the frame of the history of mankind is nearly unshakeable. The origins of African art history lie long before recorded history, preserved in the incomprehensibility of time. Rock Art is centuries old, while shell beads fashioned for a necklace have been recovered in a cave in the furthest reach of the southern peninsula of South Africa that are 75 000 years old.
One of the seemingly more valid arguments that is presented when discussing this relationship between art and history is that history is one of the main influencers over art. This can be seen through direct historical references in works such as () that show symbols of the conflict at hand, relating the piece to the time period itself. People are also more likely to accept the idea that history influences art because of what they’re taught in school. There are higher level class in the AP and International Baccalaureate realm that have dedicated their curriculum to the prospects of art history. But in order for the artists message to be properly
