Compare Raphael’s School of Athens to Veronese’s Christ in the House of Levi. Explain how each artist reflected the political and social environment of Rome and Venice during the Renaissance period. Use one example from Gardner’s Art through the Ages and one from the Internet. Raphael School of Athens is not a setting for school but for philosophers and scientists. In our text book it said that “Raphael depicted these luminaries, revered by Renaissance humanists, conversing and explaining their various theories and ideas”(Kleiner 464).
The organizational problem with periodization is that because there are so many things happening at one time, a historian is not able to focus on them all. The ethical issue with periodization is that is easily implies value judgments the technical problem of periodization is that it no system of periodization can solve all cultural issues or satisfy all demands. 3. These labels are problematic because they may not be specific enough. Big Thought Activity Prequel 1.
On the other end of the spectrum, if the film is not a prank, then we are drawn more toward what was trying to be said through the actual storyline of the film, instead of possible motives of those involved in creating it. The ideas proposed in the storyline are things like the significance and meaning of art, how things become canonical or just popular among a mass audience, and even what it is that makes an artist a meaningful creator of art. First looking at street art altogether is in itself a controversial matter. This is because a portion of the population sees this as no art form at all, but instead it
It is quite often there isn’t clear between “right” or “wrong” before we deciding something. Uncertainty can be one of the most difficult things to deal with. It can make us feel angry, irritable, of frightened. This can sometimes create tension with people around us. Actually, if I think back there is no right or wrong decision.
What is bullshit? This is a neither simple question that many in today’s world don’t exactly have a clear answer to nor understanding of. In the published book, “On Bullshit” by Frankfurt, we are provided with a definition and explanation to what exactly bullshit is. The interpretation of bullshit drawn from the novel can be said to be a misrepresentation of what is to be true. Because of bullshit being a misrepresentation of the truth; it has been repeatedly mistaken or confused with the act of lying.
This lead to Henson’s name being associated with pedophilia - a clear indication of the power of a critic to influence media, and subsequently audience perception of an artist. Thus, the works of artists have a certain fluidity to their significance, due to the capacity for critics to influence audience understandings of artist and their
It is clear that Dix was not accurately depicting Dr. Heinrich Stadelmann as he would appear in life. This raises the question whether Stadelmann would have approved of the finished artwork, and what it was Dix was trying to say. As with any artwork, it is impossible to know where Dix’s interpretation ends and the viewer’s subjective inventiveness begins. Therein lies the effectiveness of art as a combined experience that transcends the intent of the artist. Dix may lay the groundwork through his strategic use of artistic elements, but it is ultimately the observer that builds the
Art today is driven by many things, but perhaps the most common force is one's need to be original. Artists' today believes that they must develop their own style, and if that style is taken, they must find one, invent one, fabricate one, for he can be nothing if he cannot be original. Is that truly an acceptable ideal? How do you separate innovative ideas from those that are derived from being inspired by others? R. G. Collingwood, once called ‘one of the twentieth century's best-known "neglected" thinkers’ portrayed art as a "necessary function of the human mind, and considered it collaborative, i.e., a collective and social activity."
Artists have to be different in many ways. They have to think differently than others to create very expressive artwork. An artist's artwork also has to be different in a way that others will have to try and decipher what it portrays. Another huge factor in uniqueness is not being ordinary. Many people's jobs or careers require them to create something of their own or something that is not ordinary.
Subliminal advertising is a crafty theory because it prevents the conscious mind from building any arguments of its own against the message, and allows viewers to be more susceptible to following their subconscious intuition which has, unknowingly, been shaped by the advertisement. Subliminal advertising, when misused, is the unethical behaviour behind the exterior mind control that works below the threshold of human awareness. What first needs to be asked is whether it is even possible that content messages can influence a person’s behaviour. If this were not the case, advertising would be an irrelevant concept as it would not matter what types of content or messages are relayed to people, as they simply would not buy into it. In any case, the advertising industry has been more than willing to put forth millions of dollars to discover whether or not this really is the case and if so, through what means is the message most likely to hit home and persuade the viewer to go out and buy their product.
