The art piece that inspires me for my personal production task is from a little known artist by the name of Alice Pasquini. Pasquini builds a cultural identity for independent women through her colourful and objective street art pieces. She achieves this through her depictions of individuals, usually female or children, with explicit facial expressions commonly painted upon old unwanted walls. The facial expressions of these characters speak their story and identity aided by the refined and unusual painting style and the varying colours used to produce them. She inspires me from her bold, bright and profound artworks that are so characteristically distinguishable as being her style that they are hard to be mistaken as someone else’s work, this sense of identity through style is incredibly intriguing as a way of expressing ones individuality.
It’s not recognized by everyone as a serious art form but personally I have always found great inspiration, drama and beauty in the world of fashion” -Bold and uniquely graphic style -work focuses on the portrait, in abstraction and elegance. Stark contrast, fractured space, and meticulous mark-making are a few elements present in her work. This Barcelona based illustrator's drawings are collages of deconstructed portraits and pencil-drawn and Pantone black monochromatic patterns collaged together creating works for fashion, editorial and high-end magazines as well. -I like how Anna Higgie ensures the pencil sketched image is explicitly to the forefront of her illustrations as you can almost feel the texture of the lead against the paper. Her images though softly outlined are graphic and veer towards mixed media art in places.
In Cassatt's picture, the subject matter is a portrait. This is because she focuses on the facial features of the mother and the child. She also tries to show the observer their personality. While in Tanners’ piece the subject matter is narrative. Narrative subject matter is when the artist tries to tell a story about their piece.
The balanced mix of people, profession and social status allowed Whitfield to infuse each biography with ancillary information pertaining to religion, flora and fauna, medicine, housing, food, scenery, and so forth. She also was quite faithful to report major historical events for each "tale." I believe there are several reasons for her writing of this history. First, I think she writes it to change the negative perception of the history of Central Asia that we know through the annals of its neighbors. By explaining the history of the region through the eyes of its own occupants, it rids the history of any distorted views from neighboring civilizations.
. very badly! Just think! If it happens! I can leave here and not be anyone's problem…” Shows that she wants change from her usual routine.
The author evidence in supporting her ideas is by narrating stories. The entire chapter is full of different stories about how the white pigment was discovered and what ingredients have been used to made it, stories about people’s adventures and their sacrifices in their journey to learn more about the pigments. Similar with chapter “White” is her chapter “The Paintbox”. Victoria Finlay discusses the importance of the color in the art world from the late medieval period to the present, and the people behind the paintings and their most secret techniques. However, the only difference between these two chapters is how she organized the material.

This was a new simplicity in women’s clothing designs, and, theses women, who wore the fashions, to explore their imaginations. This made the government mandate fashionable. The silhouette lines of the clothing made in this period are still found in clothing today, as are in the manmade fabrics, which were developed during WWII. Because of the rationing and the unavailability of material, the differences in social classes were not as noticeable, as the dress and style of all the women and their dress became similar under the government mandates. This was reflected in the style of dress for work, formal events, and in the movies of Hollywood.
Romans needed interior space for worship, whereas the Greeks worshipped outside. Their solution was to extend the walls outward, creating engaged columns, while maintaining the same basic shape. Roman also focused on Art and Sculpture. They used art as propaganda, to mark power, terror, stories or to symbolize the greatness or their leaders, drawings were all over walls, temple and political buildings, roman used fresco; which was painted on wet concrete, and mosaic; which depended on small colored stones put usually on the floor to decorate, their drawings were precise and beautiful, and lead historians to
Saito’s Argument in “Appreciating Nature on Its Own Terms” Saito’s argument is based upon how we appreciate and view nature on its own terms. Her argument on appreciating nature is separated into many different sub-arguments throughout her paper against the landscape view and the associationist view. I will be discussing and explaining Saito’s view on appropriate aesthetic appreciation by providing examples from her work. Firstly, Saito introduces the differences between nature aesthetics and art aesthetics. When we view and appreciate art, we have a visual experience with the artwork because the viewers can distinguish what the artist is attempting to produce.
