Research a work of art, put a link to it on the Discussion Board in D2L marked "Chapter 15," put it into a category from the chart on page 404, and tell us why it's 'art' or 'art-like.'
The piece of art I found was unnamed by Marie Fox. It can be found at www.mariefox.com. It is a painting of a small village by an ocean or lake. The village looks like it took place in the older days. It has a church, a school, a lighthouse, a windmill, some houses, and I can’t distinguish what the other places are. There is also a beach and ships out on the water. It is a very calming picture. When you looks closer you can see a couple of horse drawn carriages and the old water pump thing. There is a farm house the picture to because I see a few cows in the fence. The trees and flowers are thrown in the picture very nicely. Along the horizon it looks as though the sun is just rising so about dawn is when this is taking place. It is very hard to tell what season some tress have the green leaves and some have a yellow color, but it blends together so nicely. I think this would be considered folk art. It just seems to fit in the category and the meaning of the word in the glossary. If I had to pick a piece of art for my room I’d probably pick this one because it is so calming you can just picture yourself sitting on the beach listening to the waves lap the shore and the sound of the church bell ringing in the afternoon. Also watching ships coming in and going out. With the lighthouses making sure the way is safe. In the picture you can easily tell they’re busy people the is villagers every where already getting work done for the day whether it making bread or working in the fields they are out and going! It reminds me of how my grandparents would describe their parents and their parents, parents.
The art work I found was called "Stone Breakers" by Gustave Courbet. I put the website on the discussion board. It is a oil painting on canvas of a two men breaking stone away with pick axes. You can tell it is very hard work by there clothes because they are ratted and torn. It is also a very hot day out you can see the bright light over the hill. They are wearing cowboy hats to keep the sun light out of their eyes. The one guys hands are very dirty from the hard work he has been doing. The other guys looks to be struggling with all rocks he is carrying. This is considered realism art.It is a very realist looking picture of what it actually looked like. This is very art like because this is what I consider art. Painting a picture and has real meaning behind it. This picture shows what it was like before machines to do the work for us. I diffently love this painting becuase of the hard work and dedication involved. This is were our roots are from too.
In response to aschwartz: I like your picture and the way you described hard working men. The shoes they were wearing seemed different and they were looking ahead at the town maybe? Neat picture and it was one I've never seen.
The painting I chose after looking through several web sites portrays itself as a Folk Art, it has a craft being done by several ladies in the village, area, or possibly related to each other. It was the part of real life in 1917 when it was shown as a completed oil on canvas painting by Henry Mosler. The artist has several different painting but this one has a story to tell as they sit around the quilt that is framed up ready to work on. The floor is of rough board and they are very serious about the work that they are doing. Each ladies dressed in clothing that is long dress with some sort of head piece. In the back of the room is a very nice china hutch stands with dishes displayed and a servant lady serving tea. The walls have a few hats hung on them and the walls look rather rough. Each women has a needle and thread in hand with one lady on the end that seems to have extra's for everyone. The fabric being sewn is seen as a white and red pattern of a diamond on point, which would have been very special because of the purchase of fabric was not very big supply in those years. Quilts were made for special occasions and in the painting it shows that this was almost completed being they were hand quilting it, which is the final stage of quiting a piece of fabric. I feel this is "art" because of the display of oil on canvas and the ability to show us how quilting bee's were in 1917. The ability to quilt is a craft or art form which is a shown so nicely in this painting.
You did a great job in describing your choice of a picture and why you thought it was indeed art and artlike. The picture was really interesting (as were many of her other paintings as well). She has a very different style - it's tough to describe it. Anyway, cool choice!
Neat picture. I totally agree with you and your thoughts in that it is "realism art." It definitely has a very real look and feel to it. The detail that you mentioned was definitely visible in the picture on the website, and it was clear that the artist put work into making this picture convey "real" ideas of how laborous and difficult this work could be. I certainly could tell.
It’s a picture that was recently in the news of the photo of Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair. I haven’t really followed Miley, but the article and news surrounding this particular photo caught my attention. The picture was taken by famous photographer, Annie Leibovitz. The photo is art because of the way it was taken on purpose, a posed shot. The lighting and coloring of the photo is all contributes to the art qualities. The color is almost black and white except for her lips, skin, and eyes. It falls into the category of a traditional illustration, I believe, but I am a little unsure as it is a photograph and not an illustration. I have gone somewhat back and forth whether this photo is art or a photo being used to exploit Miley. Reading the article about Miley reveals more about the photo, and my conclusion is that it is art.
The art piece that I chose to research is “The Kiss” by Auguste Rodin. I would say that this is decoration art or popular art, and it is art. This piece is art because it has all the qualities of art. Personally I do not think that there should be a category of art like. I feel that any creation can be art. It is people who choose how great of art the piece is. I chose “The Kiss” because I felt like it was a romantic piece. I am planning my wedding for this June and right now I am really into the romance bit. That is not the only reason though that I chose this piece. It just struck me and stood out from the others I was looking at.
I like to use Google’s image search. I just put in the word “art” and I saw this image and was immediately wondering what on earth it was. I think that is the first reason why I feel that it is a piece of art. It made me think; wonder. This piece I feel falls under the Virtual Art category. Heller has many neat pictures on his website and many if not all look computer generated. Honestly, when I first saw the picture, it brought me back to 10th grade psychology when I learned about the brain’s neurons and axons. It’s fitting I suppose considering the subtitle of Heller’s webpage is “Where science inspires art and art informs science…” It would be interesting to see what Heller started with and how this piece formed.
The piece of art that I choose is called Aurora photograph shot by John Flinn. I absolutely love this photograph because it is just nature and natural beauty. There is nothing fake or unnatural about the photograph. This photograph is of the sky line at 2 o’clock in the morning. All you see is an aurora of purple, green, blue, yellow, and pink colors all blended together. You also see the landscape and trees which show up as black silhouettes. Another beautiful piece of the photo is seeing the star filled sky that accompanies the colors in the sky. I really enjoy this photo because it is very simple yet very beautiful and relaxing. This would be a photograph that I would hang up in my house. I think that I would classify this piece of art as Performance art. It grabs attention because of the bright colors. I found this photography at http://www.umich.edu/~lowbrows/astrophotos/aurora/aurora6.html. I also posted it on D2L.
The piece of art that I have chosen for this blog post is called "Captivating Sunset." I am not sure who took the picture, but it is used on a Florida travel website. This photo is really pretty and is certainly "captivating." The way that the little girl is standing in awe, and the way in which the pierre is sillouetted in the sunset is beautiful. In my opinion, this photo would fall under the catagory of Traditional Realism. It is realistic because it displays the event as the subject matter and it captures a real, true event: a girl "soaking in" a beautiful sunset.
I saw this photo and it immediately caught my eye!! What an awsome form architecture. It looks as though it spirals down into a small opening. The use of the same pattern over and over creates a visual effect of a tunnel. I'm not sure who took the photo or exactly where it is. I believe it would fall under the catagory of design.
I really love the picture you chose for you entry. It is very calming and the colors are beautiful. Realism would definitely describe this photo it is something that anyone would encounter in real life.
When I saw what this assignment was I immediatley knew what piece of art I would choose. My favorite painting ever. Vincent van Gogh, The Starry Night. It can be found on http://www.vangoghgallery.com/painting/starryindex.html I do believe that this painting id one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colors are vibrant, and great. I believe that this painting makes me feel good, and others the same. It is peaceful, and reminds me of a gentle breeze through a happy place. I believe that this is folk art and a great one at that. This piece of art has hung where ever I have lived since I was a teenager, and I still love it as much as I ever have.

At the beginning I wanted to find a piece of art that I could explain, but instead I found art that confused that heck out of me. The web site that I found is the Eshel Ben-Jacob School of physics and anatomy. I would place this type of art in the Avant-Grade. I would also place this art in the Shock Art or Virtual Art categories. I loved how each piece looked like each other, yet it was very different. The different colors created different emotions as I studied them. The cooler colors of blues, greens, made me think of painting that were under the sea, I was just waiting for a sea turtle to swim by. It was very relaxing. The painting that had warmer colors in it, seemed to create an excitement, a fast pace emotion. One painting had both cool and warm colors in it; the background being bright blue and the design in orange and yellow. When looking at this one, I felt as if I were a passenger in a car that was driving on an interstate in California. I was looking up at the trees and thinking of how beautiful the fire trees were in the water filled sky; totally a free bird.
in response to sandra gilk... I would have never thought of architecture. I have always admired wonderful works of architecture, espically from Rome, and now that you have brought it to my attention, it is art. I would place this as Traditional art and in the design category. I am so glad that I had the chance to view your website you posted, and once again my eyes have been opened to a differnt type of art form. Thank you!
The piece of art i chose is considered kitsch art.. I googled kitsch art and this was the most interesting to me.. I believe its art because it was classified under kitsch art.
The picture that i choose was called The World is round. I love this picture as for one the world is round and we just dont realize it. But to see it through the drop it a wonderful picture. I believe photography is true art as you are able to capture the item in the moment.
One of my favorites is Vince Van Gogh "Old man with head in his hands" It could be interpreted so many different ways. You can see it on www.wwar.com. I visualize it as a man who lost his wife or child and was in a breakdown of crying. He didnt know what to do with himself but cry. It is amazing that Vince could take something sad and make it beautiful. Just seeing it made me think how many other people in real life are going through this at the same moment and make you wonder why he really painted this. If something in his life just happened or if its "just something he threw together."
I love renees it was so well depicted I read it and could completely visualize the art without even looking at the website and the way you worded it was amazing to read.
