I am a plate that is made of clay that was taken from the Earth of Japan. But before I was made into a plate I was up to the mountains near a big forest that had a Jinja on top a beautiful waterfall where water fell from the top to the bottom and sometimes flowing to rivers. But when winter comes the waterfall would freeze into shards and when the winter goes the shards and snow turn into water filling up the waterfall making a waterfall from the top to the bottom flowing with an immense amount of water to rivers and ponds that would sometimes connect with the waterfall. My maker crafted me to be used as art depicting many natural objects or buildings even sometimes people in the drawing. I am also used to hold a meal for a person who would eat the nourishment from top to bottom. Most of the time I would have fish from the ocean or rice that was farmed in flatlands on top of me. …show more content…
Plates would mostly be decorated with natural objects and or of people in nature or depicting an image someone sees. But for me, well I was painted of the beautiful waterfall I once lived near. The painting depicts the waterfall with water rushing down with trees next to it and with the Jinja on top, with words in kanji on it. At the jinja, he wrote Jinja (神社). Also In the waterfall, he wrote water god (水神) to represent the rumored Kami. Even though kami are like spirits they sometimes are referred to gods for some. The artist carefully painted me to make me the highest quality of art. Although my artist was one of the lowest in the social class, He was very good at his job. The artist may not have been paid well but his job painting was very good because it was detailed and beautiful. My current owner is a samurai, and in the social class, he is in between. His house was very large and has a wall surrounding it with gates up
It was amazing to experience the excitement of ceramics art at Los Angeles County Museum of Art and seeing the eyes of people who were staring at the ergonomically well designed Jomon pot that looked very difficult to design by hand. The size of the Jomon pottery was 22 inches in height and is nearly equivalent to a fish bucket and the shape of the Jomon was a wide cylinder that looked like it could store lots of amount of water and fish. The Jomon had a combination with variety types of clay that were shadow and tint colors. The following date this Jomon pot was created was during the middle age of the Jomon Culture which was (c. 3000-2000 B.C.). The artist that created this Jomon pot was named Hamada Shoji and the specific element of this Jomon pot had a meandering lines, loops and spirals produce a rich interplay of light and dark, and positive and negative space, which create an engaging work of sculpture.
When using routers, you need many routers in order to route the information to the correct location, as one router will not be able to manage this task. Explain how the routing schemes handle this problem.
I thought this video was going to be very difficult, though we have been practicing it all semester. Once my partner and I got together to do this project I became more comfortable. I went over my weaknesses and my strengths on the previous group sessions and figured out what I need to work on and what I do well at.
Around the world, people have been searching for and experimenting with different ways to express themselves. One of the most diverse ways takes place in the form of art. Art is comprised of many different categories and sub-categories, but all of them sending the same message: expression. As long as a piece is created from emotion, beliefs, and influence, it can be considered “art”. One of the forms of art that takes on a 3-dimensional affect is the sculpture. Sculptures are one of the earliest forms of art, right next to its 2-dimensional “cousin”, Drawings. Two specific sculptures that take place in the B.C. era are “Memi&Sabu” and “Statue of Gudea”.
When we hear the word “Art” certain images come to mind. We think of great masterpieces of epic battles, and cathedral walls depicting angels and demons. This however, is a very small part of the art of the world. One form of artwork has been seen in every civilization, on every continent; Folk art. Folk art at its root is art including paintings, textiles, furniture, and carvings done by a country's indigenous people. These pieces are often functional, and serve a purpose on top of being aesthetically pleasing.The techniques used by these people are often passed down generation to generation, and originate in the community itself. This means most of the artisans do not have any formal training in their craft. Many took apprenticeships, or learned from watching village elders.
The elephant-headed figure steps out of a heavily decorated doorway. This makes the figure appear three-dimensional and interacts with the viewer. The way that the elephant “steps out” contributes to the complexity of the statue because its business draws in and engages the viewer. Like Dancing Ganesha, the shape of the Block statue of the scribe Amunwahsu also attracts spectators because they are invited in by the simple, packed shape. The sculpture stands a little more than a foot tall and has a geometric, almost symmetrical arrangement.
He summarizes his practice as a “reliance on mediums close at hand, portability and abstraction” to which there is no better material than aluminum. Anatsui recycles the tops of liquor bottles and through a process of flatting, cutting, and twisting he connects sheets of colored metal to form massive works of art. The pieces are installed differently every time in the way that they hang, fold, and catch light. The recycled aluminum causes him to make ecological statements through his pieces. He transforms some of the abundance of trash in Africa into pieces with incredible value. When viewers experience Anatsui’s pieces there is a thought process develops from overwhelming beauty to realizing the background and material of the pieces, changing their perceptions in the
The first art that interested me was the art of Indonesia which in this exhibit depicted the culture, history and art of Indonesian people. For instance, Bali a small island in the Indonesia valued most of its art based on the rich resources they occupied such as most art was composed of gold, diamond and sapphires which people of Bali believed that it will resemble their higher standards in the society. Art of Bali amazed me the most when it came to their “King’s crown” and “Queen’s crown” which was completely “fashioned in pure gold with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires” (Bali). The king’s crown was much simpler compare to queen’s crown which contained many varied of gold decorative that looked like gold flowers, and all of its designs such as rubies or sapphires were perfectly horizontally lined to each other that sort of depicted as a shiny necklace. The Bali’s art that I observed was very interesting know about the society they lived in those centuries with representation of their upscale society (Bali).
Chiharu Shiota is a Japanese installation artist who is widely known for captivating viewers with her immense thread installations. Through the combination of complex networks of string and used possessions that carry with them personal stories, Shiota is able to explore the connection that exists between objects and memory, as well as the past and the present. So, by taking a moment to carefully analyze Shiota’s work and its intricacies, the meaning of it all can easily be deciphered. As with all of Chiharu Shiota’s thread installations, her 2016 installation titled Absent Bodies is site-specific and immersive.
Man has always found pleasure in expressing himself by creating art. Through the centuries, man’s art has left behind clues and insight that enables the generations of today to understand their ancestors. In particular, historians and artist alike can see what certain Asian sculptures reflect of the culture and religious beliefs of Hinduism and Buddhism. Hinduism is the parent religion to Buddhism; much like Judaism is to Christianity. Despite Buddhism and Hinduism sharing similar philosophies and various idealisms, their respective sculptures also show their differences. There are two important characteristic of the sculptures of these religions. The first is motion versus rest, and second the subject matter. It is these two types of characteristics historians and artist can help use to decipher Hindu and Buddhist sculptures.
Every time people are invited over for dinner at my house, the conversation turns to my artwork, specifically the small paper figures that I make. My mom makes me run up to my room to retrieve them. I fill my hands with a collection of replicas of characters from various television shows, movies, and video games, made from only paper, wire and glue. When I return to the table, the room fills with praise. The main figure of interest is always my five inch tall model of Hiccup, the protagonist of the film How to Train Your Dragon 2.
The Year(3) Tax Return Template is a spreadsheet document based on the 1120S form that calculates the tax statements of any three years (ex: 2014, 2015, 2016), as well as the averages of some totals for the past three years.
I researched traditional Buddhist symbols and drawings. Using inspiration from the research I created numerous designs that was elaborate, display Buddhist culture and more importantly symmetrical. I first designed the frame for the centerpiece, which was made from pieces of wood to create a secure structure. The frame consisted of seven individual panels, a skirt and hood for each panel. The frame also had an additional panel, which was the entrance. The entrance panel only consisted of a hood. Each individual panel was then attached to create an octagonal freestanding
When analyzing artwork, in any form, there are often times social contexts in which can be interpreted. Not always does the history behind the painting need to be revealed to fully understand the concept of the artwork, yet it is helpful in determining if the artwork is truthful in its representation. Although in analyzing artwork it is likely that there are drawbacks to considering the social context. To illustrate this point, I'm going to use the visual arts as my medium of choice. Understanding the social context can be an important tool. An advantage of knowing the history of the painting or sculpture can really enrich our knowledge, being in the 21st century, about some of the social periods from previous times. It can demonstrate how traditions were carried out, how they had an impact on the different social classes. It's a visual teaching aid of a sort. Even in the time period of which the artwork was created can be used as a tool to show how the life was in different parts of the world. It was also used as a hammer in the realist movement to show the upper classes that life for the poor was horrible. The visual arts is the only medium in which the pictorial image creates a universal language in which anyone, regardless of nationality or social class can interpret. The text which is created by this language often creates a context which is left open to interpretation. Contexts are created by the artist, critics, judges, the public, essentially, any one who views the work and forms an opinion relating to it. The contexts stem from subject or content of an artwork, and are usually facts regarding the content. Yet, the contexts almost always have backgrounds themselves, therefore making the original contexts, texts. This will be more clearly illustrated later. The chain is seeming to be a never ending process. There are always more conditions to the previous ones. All context, therefore, is in itself, textual. This concept of all context in itself textual is a post-structuralist strategy. A man named Derrida is a man who has developed this idea that the post-structuralist concept of every statement made, can be interpreted in infinite ways, with each interpretation triggering a range of subjective associations. Every statement has an association, therefore it's a sort of domino effect.
