The basic toolkit for making art, including line, shape, texture, volume, mass, light, contrast, color, perspective, and motion.

The greatly differing art from era to era presents an issue of greater meaning. Going into perception of any individual’s reasoning of emotion from observation of something that can be judged with grace or ill regard should be considered only to those viewing the piece. The artist should actually care for his work and carry an essence of narrative to it to be considered well crafted. Although if the one taking in the piece fails to make any connection or perceives it to be something totally different does the validity of the piece to be considered good art change? It may.
Traditionally, representation in art primarily focuses on the visual image. In contemporary art making practices there has been a substantial shift towards the use of letters and text in art and as the artwork itself. Text and letters are either utilised in the design element of the work or as a direct communication to the audience of the intent behind the work. Contemporary artists who have explored the use of text in their artworks include Richard Tipping, Jenny Holzer and Xu Bing, with each considering the concept of text as art with slightly different approaches. In addition to artist utilising text with their works, text also plays other important roles in the art world.
and other pieces in his oeuvre, it becomes clear that Duchamp’s intention was not simply to destroy art, but to expand our conceptions of it, challenge it, and in doing so enrich it, and even underscore the artists and artistic traditions that preceded him. Within the context of an interpretation of Duchamp and his work within the field of Cultural Studies it becomes necessary to understand how Duchamp fit within the distinction between “culture as perfect” and “culture as ordinary”; he was present turning the turning point between the eras of those two definitions, and we may consider his work as it relates to both possible conceptions, and whether it had a role in challenging them. To begin with this context we must consider Leonardo da Vinci’s Renaissance masterpiece painting, the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is certainly the most famous portrait in the world and one of the most recognizable images in the world of any sort, highly important in the history of art and western culture in general,
The Disconnect Of Postmodernism Modernism, as you may know it, is an art movement and is the radical rendition in the art world, whether of subjects or of materials or media used. Certain artworks offer certain styles depending on the artist. To those who are learned it will be quite easy to connect the certain style to its originator and there can be others to follow suit in the same style. Postmodernism, however, is not limited to the art world but encompasses everything like literature, film, buildings, business, fashion, dance, etc. While modernism connects with primitivism, another art movement, postmodernism disconnects from the traditional and encourages uniqueness and individuality, more like making the futuristic a reality.
The elements of design are used in such a way as to create designs that have been expressed through feelings and ideas. Abstract art has questioned many to believing if it should be classified as art, and has gradually opened up people’s minds to what art is today. Abstract art began to evolve as early as the 19th century, but fully began in the early 20th century. when some artists were trying new art movements and were gaining more freedom and independence. This independence for artists was expressed in their artworks through expressionism.
This question has often been asked, and the boundaries between craft and art are often contested. Is it that art evokes meanings and emotions far beyond what the viewers observe, while craft remains the underlying basis of art? Or is it that a craftsperson is someone who practices their skilled craft, and an artist is someone who cares about their craft, cares how it looks, how it’s presented, if it will inspire and what is its intended purpose. Some believe craft is the use of materials for something practical that has some individuality but limited imagination. As soon as the creativity hits a higher level and the work assumes its own identity, whether it has a function or not, that is when it becomes art.
In the post-medieval era, paintings developed perspective, which emphasized the individual. The appearances of diaries, collections, scientific research, and other such components of the "technology of the self" (13) illustrates the immortalization of the self. Fowler's definitions of "person" are constantly shifting, stating that "definitions will be revised, embellished and replaced throughout this book as relationships between personhood and context become more apparent, and spring from my interpretation of the debate over personhood" (9). Even though we are individuals in societies, we must build relationships with other so we may not "lose [ourselves] in experiences and activities"
This article explains each of their roles. It also states the rise of religious institutions that came to be in some colonies. Regulations concerning access to resources, economics and political power were also religious in nature. In order to better understand the concept of religious stratification, let’s define it. The author uses the definition, “Religious stratification occurs when religion is institutionalized in the laws and/or customs of society as a criterion for the allocation of social positions and their attendant rewards (Pyle 57).” If the advantages of religious affiliation are not intertwined in the laws of society, religious stratification may not last.
