My personal thoughts to this piece of art is in all honestly a sense of confusion. Overall I like

Describe just what you see in the photograph (not what you think the photograph is about). List details:

I found the painting interesting as it illustrates the relation between all fine arts in a very skillful manner. Graziani painted four panels which

was looking at the painting. I could sense a certain limit of my understanding due to the previous

All the figures in the painting have different expressions on their faces. For example Mr. Columbus starrs dirrectly at the group of coucil men sitting infront of him to convince them of the new world he had discovered. He stands infront of the crowd, looking like a honorable man, with his chesting bulsging out and his right footing pointing forward. His left hand is holding a map, while the right firmly points at it. There is a concil man sitted next to where Christopher stands, looks down at the map to validate Mr. Columbus agruement. There are three figures standing on the left excluding the king and his guides. These men seem so suppresed by what Columbus is telling them, that one of them grab the other firmly on the shoulder to perheps ask him how all of it is possible. The king on the other hand opens his month wide in disbelieve and his hands lift up at about a 30 degree angle, as if he was attempting to stop Columbus from fabricating more lies. On the far right of the painting, there is a boy with what appears to be a map that he is showing two men on his right.; they both starr at it while the other lean forward with his hand placed under his chin. Human drama remains me of Giotto style in Italy 1400-1500. He was the first artists to incoporate human drama into his work by including little details of gustures and emotions. This very artist was great at expressing different types of emotions on the faces

I enjoyed learning about them and looking at it. Prior to doing more research on them, I just thought their work wasn't art and just random things put up/built in places. Now that I know more about it, I am able to fully understand it and enjoy it better. I couldn't live with this in my house, it would take up too much space. Theoretically however, I think I would enjoy having this in my house. I t has a nice meaning behind it and it would be nice to see everyday. It is aesthetically successful in my opinion, it just works so well. I would say this art piece is a mix between formalism and Imitationalism. I believe both are what makes an artwork aesthetically successful. The whole thing, from how it was constructed to the meaning behind it, are the reasons why I think this piece is

One cannot practice the Christian faith without pursuing a moral life with ethical decisions. Throughout his life, Jesus acted as an example with the Beatitudes, Ten Commandments, and the New Law and guided us towards morality. He completed the Old Law in his teachings, death, and Resurrection with the concept of love. He calls each of his followers to love, thus preparing the way for the New Law through the heavy cross that he carried.. He especially utilized the Beatitudes to completely reveal the focus on love of his teachings. The Son is also both of human and divine nature (the perfect lamb), so he can remove the stain of sin, as regarded in the quote from St. Athanasius, “God became man, so that man might become God.” Therefore, Jesus

I have developed a better appreciation for the American Gothic painting. I also have grown an appeal towards the American Gothic

6. a) The most famous artist who I knew, from the artworks at the AGO, was Emily Carr. Emily Carr’s artworks were not superior to the less famous artist’s works in my eyes because I found an ‘unknown’ artist for me who created more intriguing works: Manasie Akpaliapik.

The piece I decided to analyze is the famous sculpture, Laocoön and his two sons. I decided on this particular piece for a few reasons, one being the emotion we see on the subjects’ faces, and the other being the importance for future art. When I began this research I could not have possibly understood the relevance this piece had on the art that was yet to come.

Woody Allen once said, “I’m not afraid of death; I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” In “The Fall of the House of Usher”, an unnamed narrator is summoned to the House of Usher by his boyhood friend to bury his sister. Somehow she comes back from the grave and the home collapses, but the narrator escapes in time. In essence, Poe uses imagery to express the themes of fear, isolation, and family.

I personally get a sense of perfection in a human world when I look at this painting, which is a bit misleading but appropriate for a time in which men were beginning to question the divine and finding answers in the natural world where science and mathematical solutions were starting to make sense of everything around us.
